Relationship Counselling Ottawa

Build Stronger, More Connected Relationships with Rippeyoung & Associates

At Rippeyoung & Associates, we understand that relationships can be a source of strength and stress. Whether you're experiencing conflict, emotional distance, communication struggles, or recurring patterns that leave you feeling stuck, our relationship counselling services in Ottawa are here to support you. Therapy is a collaborative journey. We don't tell you what to do — we walk beside you with empathy, curiosity, and compassion as you explore what's working in your relationship and what needs care, repair, or change.

A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space for Every Relationship

Relationships are complex and deeply personal. Whether you're dating, married, co-parenting, or navigating a separation, we aim to provide a space where both partners feel heard and supported. We work with couples from all walks of life and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA2S+ partners, blended families, and intercultural couples. Relationship counselling at Rippeyoung & Associates is about understanding, not assigning blame. 

Together, we'll explore underlying dynamics, unmet needs, attachment patterns, and ways to communicate more openly and effectively. Our work focuses on helping you reconnect with each other, strengthen your bond, and develop tools to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Common Reasons People Seek Relationship Counselling

• Communication breakdowns or frequent conflicts
• Loss of emotional or physical intimacy
• Trust issues or healing after infidelity
• Life transitions, such as parenting, relocation, or job loss.
• Differing goals, values, or cultural expectations
• Fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum-related challenges
• Deciding whether to stay together or separate respectfully

Whether you're hoping to heal and reconnect or clarify your next steps as a couple, we're here to support you every step of the way.

What to Expect in Relationship Counselling

Your first sessions will focus on getting to know you individually and as a couple. We'll explore what brought you to therapy, what your relationship has been through, and what you're hoping for. From there, we'll work collaboratively to address patterns and build new strategies for connection, communication, and mutual support. We understand that no two relationships are the same. 

That's why we adapt our approach to fit your unique situation, needs, and goals. Our therapists draw on evidence-based practices, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), systemic therapy, and trauma-informed care.

In-Person and Virtual Sessions Available

We offer in-person counselling at our Ottawa office and secure virtual sessions for clients who prefer the comfort and convenience of meeting from their homes. This flexibility makes maintaining continuity and prioritizing your relationship easier, even with busy schedules.

Multilingual Support

We're proud to offer therapy in English, French, Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu. We know that being able to express yourself fully and comfortably in your language can make a meaningful difference in how supported you feel.

When You're Ready, We're Here

If your relationship feels strained, disconnected, or uncertain, you don't have to face it alone. At Rippeyoung & Associates, we're here to help you untangle the hard moments, deepen your understanding of each other, and reconnect with what matters most. Contact us today to schedule an initial consultation or learn more about our relationship counselling services in Ottawa. You deserve a connected, supportive, and safe relationship, and we'd be honored to help you build it.
