Its Relational
Therapy for Relationships
Its Relational Therapy Centre founded in Collingwood Ontario offering virtual relational therapy Ontario - Wide
In our therapeutic approach, therapy is seen as a way to connect and come together as a commitment and a promise to yourself, your relationships, and your journey.
Hi I'm Samantha (Samm) English and I support individuals and people in relationships who are experiencing grief and loss, major life transitions, addictions, suicide ideation, relationship challenges, communication and conflict struggles, intimacy concerns and disconnection. I also support people experiencing parenting obstacles and relational wounds.
My path into this profession began in 2019, and within this time I have come to recognize that supporting others isn’t about “fixing," it’s about helping people feel seen, accepted, appreciated, and empowered to tell their own stories. This understanding has helped shape Restore the Core Therapy Centre, intentionally planting the roots within how the foundation hopes to grow, creating a path where co-creation, restoration, and healing are possible.
Its Relational
Therapy for Relationships
Changing the way we see mental health where we specialize in explorative opportunity. A place where we intentionally do not use language to define you, instead, we define the services we provide, shifting the power back into your hands, handing you the microphone and inviting you to define yourself.
​
Its Relational Therapy Centre offers a deeply supportive and integrative counselling experience. Drawing from evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, Arti-Informed, and Humanistic practices. Our services are for those who want to explore their inner world through a relational and compassionate lens.
Counselling for Non-Traditional Relational Systems
Are you feeling like an outcast or as someone different than the societal "norms?" Feeling pressured to define your identity before you can just exist? What would you say if we were to tell you that this experience is not an individual one, but rather a relational one? What might it mean, if we were to slow it down and get intentional about exploring. This therapy is for members within relational systems outside of traditional couple or family structures, who want to explore internal and external influences, uncover the stories that are being written, and create meaning within relationship with curiosity, intention, and care.
Counselling for Couples​​
Are you feeling like you need to change in order to be in a relationship that "works?" Do you feel uncertain about how to find your way back home to one another? Are you grieving what used to be, or questioning the future of your partnership? What would you say, if we were to tell you that your relationship is trying to speak to you? What do you think it wants you to know... This therapy is for couples who want to explore their relationship in a deep way. Who want to check in, turn towards one another, and have conversations in a way that's different than how they've been experienced. Where common ground, connection, and intentional storytelling are possible.
Counselling for Families
Are you feeling disconnected and misunderstood within your family system? Tired of feeling overlooked, undervalued, or overworked? What would you say if we were to tell you that your relationship is protesting? If we were to turn the volume up, what might it be trying to say? This therapy is for members within a family system looking to explore and restore the relationship. A therapy that invites the difficult conversations to have a voice, explore meaning with curiosity and intention, and offer space for difference.
Individual Counselling (Relational Lens)
Are you feeling stuck in a narrative where it seems like you are the "problem" or as someone who needs to be "fixed?" Are you tired of trying to fit into roles, identities, or expectations that don't truly reflect who you are? What would you say if we were to ask you about all of the things you are in relation with? What might it mean, if we were to explore experiences not individually, but in relation to the people, systems, and contexts around you. This therapy is for those who are looking for individual therapy through a relational lens, where we collaborate to understand your experiences and the connections that shape them.
