how we can help

for couples

A loving couple sharing an intimate moment, representing the supportive and affirming couples counselling offered at Cinnamon Counselling in Vancouver.

Improve communication, intimacy, trust—especially in complex dynamics like open relationships, parenting, or post-infidelity.

for individuals

Navigate transitions, overcome people-pleasing, build self-worth, manage anxiety, find deeper meaning and more.

clarity coaching

Not sure if couples therapy is right for you? Our discernment counselling (aka clarity coaching) helps you understand where your relationship stands—and decide what’s next.
