Relationship and Couples Counselling in London and Toronto Ontario
Offering support in person and online across Ontario
What You Can Expect from Relationship and Couples Counselling
Relationships are hard work. You try so hard to understand and meet each other's needs but it still feels like its not enough. When you come to relationship counselling you can expect us to remain a neutral third party completely invested in the health of your relationship. We will give each member an equal opportunity to share their perspective and experience. We'll help you learn to approach conflict respectfully and fairly, to understand each other's unique emotional needs and to respond effectively to each other's wounds. We'll help you create your own unique map to a satisfying and loving relationship that is grounded in friendship, growing in trust and guarded by mutual respect.
Build the relationship you’ve always deserved.
We’re here to help you with:
Communication skills and concerns
Conflicts about money or household responsibilities
Coping with life transitions
Establishing or repairing trust
Protecting the relationship from the interference of others
Differences in sexual desire or sex drive
Infidelity
Parenting challenges and blended families
Negotiating a separation or conscious uncoupling
Navigating consensual non-monogamy (CNM)
LGBTQ+ Relationship Counselling
It's likely that you didn't have any role modelling of healthy queer relationships in your family of origin. It's also likely that the relationships you were surrounded by were heavily saturated in outdated gender norms that aren't a fit for you, your relationship or your values. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary people experience unique challenges in their relationships and need unique solutions. We are pleased to have a number of couples counsellors who are proud members of the queer and trans community and look forward to helping you achieve the loving relationship you've always deserved.
Due to the limited availability of LGBTQ+ focused couples counsellors, we’re proud to offer online relationship counselling across Ontario (and Canada).
Polyamorous Relationship Counselling
We understand that not all intimate relationships are made up of just two people and affirm all forms of consensual non-monogamy. We are honoured to help non-monogamous couples and relationships that consist of three or more members communicate their boundaries, their expectations, their hopes and their needs. Polyamorous relationship counselling can focus on a particular dyad in the relationship or include all members depending on your specific needs and goals.

(she/her) MA, Creative Arts Therapies
Expressive Arts Therapist
Ages: 5+
Location: London, Virtual
Fees: $160
Sometimes children and teens don't have the words for what they're going through—and sometimes they simply don't want to sit across from an adult and talk about it. That's where creativity, play, imagery and story can offer another way to connect.
I am a master's-trained Art Therapist with an MA in Creative Arts Therapies, specializing in Art Therapy, and 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and families. Much of my work has involved counselling children and youth through Victim Services and other community organizations, including young people who have experienced trauma, witnessed domestic violence, navigated major family changes, or found it difficult to express what they are feeling. I have also worked extensively with women who are survivors of intimate partner violence.
In our sessions, we can talk—but talking doesn't have to be the only option. Depending on your or your child's interests and needs, I may incorporate drawing, painting, sculpting, sand tray, therapeutic play, storytelling, drama, imagery or guided drawing. You don't need to be "good at art." The focus is never on artistic technique or creating a polished product, but on curiosity, expression and what we may discover through the creative process. I often think of the creative work as a helpful third presence in the room—something we can become curious about together without all of the attention being focused directly on you.
My approach is warm, playful, non-judgmental and strengths-based, and is informed by developmental, psychodynamic, trauma-informed and anti-oppressive perspectives. I value collaborating with parents and caregivers while also creating a space where children and teens can develop trust, choice and a sense that their own voice matters.
I also welcome adults—particularly women, trauma survivors and anyone drawn to a more creative form of counselling. I offer both in-person and virtual counselling, and together we can find an approach that feels comfortable and meaningful for you or your child.

Counselling Intern

Fees: $70 (sliding scale spots available)
Life’s not a straight line, and neither is our path along it. Whether it’s a major life transition, questioning your identity, or just trying to figure out how exist in the world as it is, I understand how hard it can be to put one foot in front of the other – never mind even just continuing to stand up.
Therapy is an opportunity to slow down and do just that. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves while building lives that feel intentional, authentic, and aligned with their values. In our work, I’d like to explore the stories you carry about yourself, the experiences that have shaped you, and the patterns that may no longer serve you. From there, we’ll identify what matters most to you and work to create meaningful, sustainable change.
I aim to create a space that is grounded, direct, and approachable: somewhere you can laugh, wrestle with difficult questions, and know that you’ll be met with honesty, curiosity, and compassion rather than judgement — think the older brother who would have covered for you sneaking out, but who you’d also know you could call if things went sideways.
I work with individuals and couples navigating identity, life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, trust repair, masculinity, and both monogamous and polyamorous relationships. My approach is primarily informed by Narrative Therapy, Solution- Focused Brief Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I value both emotional insight and practical action, helping clients translate greater self-understanding into everyday choices that reflect the life they want to build.
As a queer and polyamorous therapist, I understand that identity, relationships, spirituality, and community can all play meaningful roles in how we experience ourselves and the world around us. Whether you’re arriving with clear goals or simply the feeling that something isn’t working anymore, my hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel safe enough to explore honestly, grow intentionally, and build a life that feels genuinely your own.

Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist
Ages: 19+
Location: Virtual
Fees: $175
Hello! I’m a Registered Social Worker with over 15 years of clinical experience supporting adults (19+) and couples in primary care and community mental health settings. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, loss, chronic illness, and relationship challenges, including cross-cultural dynamics.
I have a special interest in couples therapy and am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Developmental Model of Couple Therapy, the Four-Session Assessment Model, Consensual Non-Monogamy (Level I), and CBT (Levels I & II). I integrate DBT-informed practices and am a trained Mindful Self-Compassion practitioner. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, relational, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive.
I support couples experiencing communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns, blended and stepfamily dynamics, multicultural or interracial stressors, and those exploring or practicing consensual non-monogamy (CNM). I also provide affirming therapy for members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, creating a space grounded in dignity, safety, and relational justice.
I believe healing happens within safe, compassionate relationships. I bring warmth, curiosity, and thoughtful presence into my work, helping clients deepen emotional awareness, strengthen connection, and move toward meaningful change.
I am committed to ongoing growth and regularly engages in professional development, peer supervision, and collaborative networks within diverse communities to ensure my practice remains ethical, inclusive, and culturally responsive.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with her family and my beloved cat, Atticus. I love hiking and soaking in nature, attending theatre, listening to music, watching Netflix or Prime, learning new recipes, preparing meals, and sharing connection over good food and heartfelt conversation with friends.
(she/her) MA, RP (Qualifying)
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Expressive Arts Therapist
Ages: 8+
Location: Toronto, Virtual
Fees: $170
My focus with all of my clients is to support them in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. I help clients listen to their mind to explore the stories, fears, and beliefs they hold; to their body to become aware of how they experience emotions and carry stress; and to their soul to understand what they truly want from this life.
I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Whether a client comes to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, grieving, navigating trauma, moving through a life transition, struggling with relationships, or feeling overwhelmed about the climate and the future, I offer a supportive space where clients can feel seen, held, and understood. Through this work, clients can build confidence, develop tools, and feel resourced enough to initiate the changes they would like to see in their lives.
My approach blends talk therapies (IFS, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, CBT, and DBT) with creative and embodied therapies such as expressive arts, play, body-based awareness, and connection to nature. This integrative approach can offer new insights and deeper compassion for yourself and your experiences in ways that talk therapy alone sometimes cannot. It can be especially helpful for children and teens, neurodivergent individuals, those living with trauma, and for couples and families engaging in relational repair.
I am a queer, neurodivergent practitioner. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally humble, anti-oppressive, and decolonizing framework. Clients and colleagues often describe me as a passionate guide who brings openness and creative warmth to the therapy space.

Currently on parental leave - returning summer 2027.
Hi! I'm Zach. Thank you for being here.
I work with folks of all genders and sexualities who are feeling fearful and hopeless right now. I am a neuro-inclusive therapist who supports autistic and ADHD individuals. My clients are often feeling isolated or misunderstood in their relationships. I work with couples who are finding it difficult to communicate their needs to each other, and with parents and their adult children to repair relationships.
I am a trans and queer therapist and my experiences inform my work. I know that we don’t exist in a vacuum, and we are constantly impacted both by our closer social networks, and by what is happening in the world. When we work together, we won’t ignore these impacts or try to disappear the feelings or reactions you have.
The kind of therapy I do is Relational Psychotherapy. It is a kind of psychodynamic psychotherapy, which means that I am interested in all of the stories of your past that make you the person you are today. This is a great modality for folks looking for longer term support and to dig deeper into understanding why hurts and heartaches and loneliness keeps repeating. We will do work beyond just understanding your past. We get to build a relationship as a client and therapist which is an opportunity to experientially learn that you are not alone, that you are important, and that you can rely on others.

Hello and welcome!
If you have just decided or have been considering reaching out for therapy for a while, thank you for looking into counselling with me and Blueprint.
A few things about therapy with me: I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) offering in-person counselling sessions at the Blueprint North office in London, Ontario, and virtually across Ontario. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer practical ADHD coaching sessions tailored to help clients build personalized strategies for daily life. I also offer in-person couples counselling sessions in London, Ontario and virtually across Ontario.
I value a therapeutic relationship where we can meet each other wherever we are in the process, and I prioritize a compassionate space where we can collaborate and grow together. Alongside ADHD support, I frequently work with individuals and families navigating depression, anxiety, academic challenges, sexual orientation, youth and adolescent concerns, and veteran’s mental health.
Outside of work, I enjoy bicycling (mountain and commuting), reading second-hand books, and watching sports.

The idea of sitting across from a stranger and feeling pressure to be vulnerable can be incredibly daunting. I’ve been there, I attend counselling myself! Many of us have felt the nerves that come with the unknowns of meeting a new counsellor for the first time, especially when you aren't quite feeling like yourself and are reaching out for support. My goal is to help you feel at ease by conducting sessions where you feel most comfortable. Whether that be in my calm, cozy office here at Blueprint, online where you can enjoy the comfort of your own home, or out in the fresh air on Walk and Talk sessions, where we can experience the benefits of natural surroundings in one of London's beautiful parks while walking side by side. I’m here for you, at times that work for your busy schedule.
My practice is a dynamic one of authenticity and non-judgement, and as someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people, I come to my sessions with warmth and humor at the forefront (oh, and a sprinkling of an Irish accent!). I firmly believe that understanding your mental health and how your mind and body processes thoughts and feelings is crucial to obtaining mental wellness, and I utilize both talk therapy and mind-body (somatic) practices to help get you there.
With 5+ years of counselling experience in the field of domestic violence, I have gained a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppressive perspective, and this is consistent in both my personal and professional life. I enjoy working with folks from many walks of life; individuals, couples, parents, and anyone navigating depression, anxiety, stress, burn-out, life transitions, and many other life difficulties. It can be so rough out there, and you don’t have to go through it alone. Please connect for a free consultation, I’m here, and I’d love to meet you!

I am here to help you befriend your emotions and connect with your inner wisdom so you can navigate life’s journey from a grounded, empowered, resilient frame of mind. My intention is to create space for you to honour your path towards liberation and authenticity.
As a Registered Social Worker I have over a decade’s experience journeying alongside folks from diverse backgrounds. After completing a Bachelor of Honours in Applied Economics and Psychology in Ontario I went on to pursue my Master of Social Work in British Columbia.
My approach is non-judgemental and warm, seeking to co-create a compassionate space where you can truly feel heard. I aim to embody a possibility mindset and a beginner’s mind. Throughout our work together I will be committed to your process while holding an anti-oppressive and empowerment-based stance to support your needs. I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples in addressing attachment trauma, relationship challenges, their inner critic, resiliency, healthy boundaries, finding meaning, self acceptance, self compassion and their relationship to money. I am also honoured to walk towards healing with clients who are experiencing grief and life transitions.
My work is grounded in Narrative therapy with a focus on externalizing and story re-telling. I also use Internal Family Systems, Principles of Financial Social Work, Trauma of Money, CBT and DBT to guide my work with clients.
When I’m not engaging with clients, I can be found seeking joy and/or beauty in watercolour painting, walking in nature, or sharing time and good food with friends and family. I am a passionate advocate for decolonized slow living and minimalism.

Have you been feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself, or are wondering how to access the person inside who you know is calm, confident, creative, and free? In therapy, I can support you through building a compassionate relationship with parts of yourself you might be having a hard time accepting, including ones that have caused harm to yourself or someone else.
You might be navigating difficult or abusive family or caregiver relationships, exploring attachment, or looking for support processing past traumas. My practice includes support for parents who want to show up differently for their children, adults and youth exploring gender or sexual identity, and anyone with ADHD or Autism navigating shame that can accompany late diagnosis. I also support clients who are navigating relationship challenges and are looking to deepen their connection by understanding how their own wounds affect their openness and authenticity. I work with people in all types of relationship structures.
My approach is mostly informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and parts work, which helps clients develop insight, self-compassion, and healthier relationships with themselves. Creativity is an important part of my life, and I sometimes bring art, music, or other creative approaches into sessions to support growth and self-expression.
I am part of queer communities and have previously worked as a sexual health educator and systems navigator at a local community health centre. Being in private practice has been a long-term dream of mine, and I am honoured to be trusted with people’s stories and with supporting them through life’s transformations.
If you feel drawn to explore therapy and want to see if we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. I would love to meet you.

I’m glad you’re here, because reaching out is an important part of wellness and healing. I’m here with wholehearted support for your change journey whether you’re going through a life transition, hoping to tackle longtime struggles, or want to learn more about who you are.
Working with me is a collaborative experiment wrapped in calm, compassionate care. I’ll meet you where you are and respect the vision you have or need space to create, helping you discover and enhance the inner strengths and resources you already hold. I believe each of us has a rich inner system of parts holding our values and pain, our struggles and strengths - and that each part has a valuable role to play in helping shape our experience. My work celebrates connecting to and learning to work with our parts in ways that help us soothe anxiety, create healthy boundaries, and create the space and confidence to show up authentically in our lives.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist available for individual or relationship counselling for adults (18+). I am grateful to receive ongoing supervision from a decolonizing and anti-oppressive lens, and recognize how systems that are not designed to honour our humanity impact our mental health and wellbeing. Fostering joy, peace, rest, presence, and mindfulness are some of the ways we internally resist these systems. I identify as a queer woman and welcome folks across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, of all gender expressions/identities, sexual orientations, and relationship styles (monogamous, consensually non-monogamous, polyamorous, etc.).
Special areas of interest include navigating relationship orientations/structures, exploring gender/sexual identity, transitioning to adulthood, and questions around parenting. I have significant experience in working with young adults coping with post-secondary life. I am primarily informed in my work by internal family systems therapy (IFS), existential therapy, and compassion-focused therapy. If a good fit for you, other approaches I incorporate might include emotion-focused, narrative, values-based, and acceptance and commitment (ACT) therapies.
I look forward to meeting with you and learning more about your needs and hopes.
