Relationship and intimacy counselling
Find a path forward after betrayal, rebuild broken trust, and create genuine emotional connection. In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Acceptance and Change Counselling Services offers clinical, compassionate guidance tailored to healing intimate partnerships.
Areas of Focus
I offer evidence-informed clinical interventions rooted in Patrick Carnes’ leading frameworks and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) protocols to help clients navigate complex relationship distress.
Betrayal trauma
Navigate the devastation of infidelity and broken trust in a structured, emotionally safe setting designed to stabilize acute shock and restore agency.
Through guided conversations and practical coping strategies, you can begin to process overwhelming emotions, establish clear boundaries, and decide what healing looks like for you. Whether you are seeking to rebuild the relationship or move forward independently, support is centered on clarity, self-respect, and a path that honors your needs.
Compulsive sexual behaviours
Address out-of-control sexual behaviours and compulsive pornography use using specialized CSAT models focused on lasting recovery and integrity.
Build practical relapse-prevention skills by identifying triggers, strengthening healthy boundaries, and creating an individualized accountability plan. With compassionate, confidential support, clients can develop healthier coping strategies, repair trust in important relationships, and move forward with greater self-awareness and confidence.
Intimacy restoration
Resolve deep-seated emotional dysregulation to break painful cycles, cultivate genuine vulnerability, and safely reconnect with your partner.
Learn practical co-regulation tools that help you recognize triggers before they escalate, communicate your needs with clarity, and create calmer, more compassionate conversations. With consistent practice, these skills can rebuild trust, strengthen emotional safety, and support a more secure, connected relationship.
A structured framework for healing
Rebuilding an intimate relationship takes more than good intentions. Using proven, nonjudgmental methodologies developed by Patrick Carnes, I help uncover and address the root causes of addiction, betrayal, and emotional dysregulation—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Understanding the impact of betrayal
Infidelity and secretive compulsive behaviours leave deep emotional wounds. I guide partners through the turbulent aftermath with structured CSAT interventions, ensuring both individuals understand the full scope of betrayal trauma without shame or defensiveness.
Rebuilding lasting connection
True intimacy requires safety, clarity, and emotional regulation. My online counselling practice, available across Canada, supports you at every stage—from immediate crisis intervention to lasting relationship renewal. Take the first step by booking your complimentary consultation today.
