Method
Too often, the clients who find their way to us tell us they worked with a therapist before, who then started seeing them as a couple, and it went poorly.
We understand that couples and individual therapy are not the same thing, and we are committed to providing quality, effective therapy for couples. Our Ajax couples counselling is based on what works for relationships - understanding your negative cycles, working with attachment and the nervous system, coaching to help you develop new interaction patterns, and supporting you as a couple to create a new, thriving and healthy relationship dynamic.
Couples Counsellors are available for in-person counselling in Oshawa and Ajax and virtual appointments across Toronto, the GTA and all of Ontario, including daytime, evening, and weekend availability.

FAQs
Do both people need to attend every session of couples therapy?
Yes. At The Relationship Agency, we follow a strict policy on keeping couples and relationship work within the couple. If you've been researching other couples therapists you may have come across a process that starts with an intake with both partners, followed by two separate individual sessions with the couples therapist, and then a fourth session together. This is the Gottman Method protocol, and although our therapists are trained in The Gottman Method, through experience and advanced training we know that it is important to keep the couples work within the system. What do we mean by system? One goal of our Oshawa and Ajax couples therapy is for couples to be operating as a 2 person psychological system, your Ajax couples therapist is NOT in your relationship and is therefore not a part of that system. What about if there are topics you aren't yet comfortable or confident in talking with each other about? We love working with our couples counselling c
What if one of us is unsure about starting therapy?
It’s common for one partner to feel hesitant. Our therapists create a space where both people can show up honestly and move at a pace that feels manageable. Book a free 20 minute video consultation to help ease any worries.

Do you provide couples therapy for interracial couples?
Yes, we have biracial and Black couples therapists in Ajax and Oshawa who provide couples counselling for interracial couples. Our Oshawa and Ajax Black and biracial couples counsellors are not only highly trained in effective couples therapy methods, but work with an understanding of culture and systems issues paired with lived experience of navigating interracial relationships and the world as biracial people and people of colour.
