OTTAWA AND ONTARIO
Relationship counselling in Ottawa, matched to you
Whether you're working through things on your own or with a partner, we connect you with a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario who specialises in relationships.
Valisen is a matching and referral service. We do not provide therapy or clinical treatment directly. All sessions are delivered by independent Registered Psychotherapists or Registered Social Workers.
WHAT IT IS
Understanding relationship issues
Relationships are some of the most important parts of our lives - and some of the hardest to navigate. Conflict, disconnection, communication breakdowns, betrayal, or just slowly drifting apart can leave you feeling stuck and unsure what to do next.
Relationship counselling can be done alone or with your partner. The right therapist helps you understand the patterns at play, communicate what you actually need, and decide together what you want the next chapter to look like.
HOW VALISEN HELPS

Valisen connects you with a Registered Psychotherapist or Social Worker in Ontario who has experience working with relationship issues. You fill out a simple intake. We learn more about what matters to you, then match you with a therapist who fits what you need. From there, your relationship is directly with your therapist.
