The Faces of Arms Open Counselling
Hope and Healing with Arms Open Counselling
Relationship Counselling
Helping you build stronger, more connected relationships.
All relationships go through ups and downs. Whether you’re facing communication breakdowns, trust issues, or simply feeling disconnected, therapy can help you and your partner understand each other better and create a more fulfilling bond.
In relationship counseling, you can:
Learn healthy communication and active listening
Identify and shift unhelpful patterns
Deepen emotional connection and intimacy
Resolve conflict with more understanding and respect
Rebuild trust and strengthen your foundation
Grief & Loss Support
Honoring your loss. Supporting your healing.
Grief is a deeply personal and often overwhelming experience. Whether you've lost a loved one, a relationship, a pet, a dream, or a way of life—your pain is valid. Therapy offers a gentle space to process that pain, make meaning of your loss, and move forward at your own pace.
How Therapy Can Help You Through Grief:
Share your story without judgment
Understand the grieving process (no “right” way to grieve)
Explore and express complex emotions
Reconnect with hope and meaning
Find ways to carry your loss while continuing to live
Stress Management Therapy
Helping you regain balance, clarity, and calm.
Feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or burned out?
Stress affects your body, mind, and relationships—and left unchecked, it can lead to anxiety, health issues, or emotional exhaustion. Therapy provides a safe space to slow down, reflect, and learn how to manage stress in a healthy, sustainable way.
How Therapy Can Help You Manage Stress:
Understand what’s triggering your stress
Learn relaxation and grounding techniques
Develop healthier boundaries and time management
Reframe perfectionism or people-pleasing patterns
Build emotional resilience and coping skills
Anxiety and ruminating thoughts
Helping you break free from the cycle of overthinking and worry.
How Therapy Can Help:
Identify the root of your anxiety
Learn practical grounding & mindfulness techniques

You're not alone. Many people struggle with anxious thinking—it doesn't define you, and you can learn to cope
