Couple Counselling
Bring awareness to what matters to you both—whether that’s to strengthen your emotional connection and change patterns together, or proceeding to separate.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions
Mindfulness helps us become aware of body-mind habits and stressors, and tap our innate strength and resilience.
