Relationships Don't Usually Fall Apart Overnight.


Most couples don't wake up one morning & suddenly realize their relationship is struggling. Instead, the distance builds slowly. Conversations become shorter. Conflict becomes more frequent or more avoided. Intimacy fades. The same arguements keep showing up & eventually many couples find themselves wondering:

"How did we get here?"


At Auschrat Counselling, we help couples understand what is happening beneath the surface of their relationship & develop practical tools to reconnect, communicate more effectively & build a stronger partnership.
Whether you're facing ongoing conflict, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, parenting stress, ADHD related relationship challenges or simply feeling stuck, couples counselling can help you move forward together.


Serving couples across Alberta & Northwest Territories through secure online counselling.

Communication Feels Difficult

You keep having the same arguements, feel misunderstood or struggle to talk about important issues without conflict.

Growing    Apart

You love each other but feel more like roommates than partners & want to rebuild connection & intimacy.

ADHD & Neurodiverse Relationships

Differences in communicating styles, exectutive function or emotional processing are creating tension.

Trust Has Been Damaged


Recovering from betrayal, secrecy, broken promises or other events that have impacted trust.

Parenting Stress

The demands of parenting are affecting your relationship & leaving little time for connection.

Major Life Changes

Career shifts, health concerns, relocations, retirement or other transitions are creating strain.

Intimacy Concerns

Physical & emotional intimacy have changed & you're unsure how to reconnect.

Preventing Bigger Problems

You want to strengthen your relationship before small concerns become major issues.

The Gottman Relationship Assessment

One of the most valuable tools available to couples is the Gottman Relationship Assessment. This evidence based assessment provides a detailed snapshot of your relationship strengths & areas for growth. It allows couples to move beyond guess work & focus on the issues that matter the most.





The Assessment Can Help Identify:
  • Communication strengths & challenges
  • Conflict patterns
  • Friendship & emotional connection
  • Trust & commitment
  • Shared values & goals
  • Areas of relationship satisfaction
  • Strengths to build upon
  • Opportunities for growth

Following the assessment, Colin reviews the results with both partners & helps create a roadmap for therapy that is tailored specifically to your relationship.

         Many couples report the assessment alone helps them                                     understand their relationship in a new way.



Neurodiverse Couples Counselling

Many relationship challenges are not caused by a lack of love.
They can arise because partners experience & process the world differently.
 Our therapists have experience supporting couples where one or both identify as neurodivergent, including individuals with ADHD, autism or other neurodevelopmental differences.









Common challenges neurodiverse couples face
  • Different communication styles
  • Executive functioning struggles
  • Household responsibility conflicts
  • Emotional regulation differences
  • Sensory sensitivities
  • Social expectations & misunderstandings
  • Different needs for structure & routine
  • Feeling unseen or unheard

Therapy focuses on helping both partners better understand each other's experiences while developing practical strategies that work for the relationship you actually have, not the relationship others expect you to have.


Games & Couples

Sometimes the most important conversations happen when people feel less pressure.
Colin frequently incorporates relationship focused games, structured activities & interactive excercises into sessions when appropriate. 









These approaches can help couples:
  • Improve communication
  • Practice teamwork
  • Explore relationship dynamics
  • Reduce defensiveness
  • Learn skills in a more engaging way
  • Build connection & positive interactions

Not every session involves activities, but many couples appreciate having practical experiences that complement traditional talk therapy.

Meet Colin

Relationships can be complicated because people are complicated.

Colin's approach combines evidence based relationship therapy with practical, real world strategies. Rather than focusing on blame, sessions help couples understand patterns, improve communication & develop skills they can use between appointments.

Clients often describe Colin's style as approachable, direct, compassionate & practical.

His goal isn't to decide who is right. His goal is to help couples better understand each other & create meaningful change together.

You don't need to wait until things are falling apart to reach out. Many of the strongest outcomes happen when couples seek support before problems become overwhelming.
