What Is Our Holistic Therapy Approach?

Our licensed psychologists tailor sessions to the unique needs of each couple. We embrace an inclusive and non-judgmental approach, with specialised (and personal) experience supporting LGBTQIA+ and multicultural partnerships. Whether addressing long-standing issues or seeking proactive support, our therapy is designed to honour the complexities of your relationship.

Why Choose Couples Therapy?

Relationships can be a source of deep connection, but they can also be spaces that leave you feeling stuck, alone, or misunderstood. Getting close can mean (unintentionally) stepping on each other’s toes once in a while.

At The Circle Clinic, we offer a compassionate space where couples can explore their dynamics, heal relational wounds, and rebuild intimacy through empirically-researched tools.
