Relational Lives

Thérèse van Maanen

Psychologist and Couples Therapist

Currently accepting new clients

Thérèse is a registered psychologist offering warm, collaborative support for individuals, couples, parents, and those wanting to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply. Her work is grounded in attachment theory and relational neuroscience, with a particular interest in how early relationships shape adult patterns and how these dynamics are carried across generations.

She works with couples in both traditional and non-heteronormative relationships, as well as individuals exploring relational concerns on their own. Thérèse is trained in Circle of Security Parenting and brings an attachment-focused, reflective lens to her work with parents and caregivers. She is also completing certification in Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy, a practical, skills-based approach to shifting entrenched relationship patterns.

Thérèse offers a thoughtful, respectful space for clients who are ready to reflect, reconnect, and re-imagine what is possible in their inner world and closest relationships.
