Wanda Dennelly

I am a relationship specialist who works with couples to address concerns that are getting in the way of living a fulfilling life together. All couples have problems and challenges to overcome, and many couples struggle with 

foundational skills to resolve their issues. I can help you to have productive conversations about topics such as problem solving, intimacy, emotional connection, parenting, finances, household responsibilities, and extended family relationships--and any other topic that you are struggling with. 

My approach to counselling brings together Attachment Theory and Cognitive-Behavioural Theory to help couples better understand both themselves and each other. By looking at how thoughts, feelings,  behaviours, and childhood observations and experiences all play a role in relationships, we can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. This approach helps couples make sense of their patterns, have more meaningful conversations, and build a stronger, more connected relationship. Working together, we will focus on practical tools and deeper insights that support lasting change and a more fulfilling partnership.

Individuals who are recovering from a break-up, or past relationship experiences, will find help here to heal and to prepare to find the love they desire.

While my primary focus is individuals and couples looking for support to navigate relationship challenges, I also assist adults with other concerns such as parenting, divorce, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief.
