about us

The Durham Couples' Clinic is staffed by a team of therapists and counsellors with specialized training in relational therapy.  We understand that the process of couple/partner therapy is different from that of individual therapy; we are skilled at holding space for all partners and the relationship that exists between them.  Each member of our team has training in approaches specific to working with intimate partners and is experienced in working with a variety of partner-related concerns.

Our mission

"Helping partners grow in love"
