About
Meet Cecilia, Intimacy and Relationship Counsellor
I am an accredited counsellor (AMACCPH) with advanced training in intimacy, couples therapy, and psychological assessment. After years in education, I now help people rediscover connection, communication, and closeness.
​
At IntimaBalance, I offer a warm, confidential space for individuals and couples to explore emotional wellness, sexual health, and relationship dynamics. Whether you're navigating desire differences, disconnection, or rebuilding trust, I support clients in cultivating more satisfying, authentic connections.
​
My practice is inclusive of diverse identities and relationship styles, including those in ethical non-monogamous (ENM) partnerships, with a focus on respect, clarity, and emotional balance.
