I strive to support clients in tapping into their own authenticity, and explore what is valuable to them.

I strive to help folks design the intentional relationships they are struggling to create on their own.
What we’ll work on together is understanding how the particulars of your life intersect with your relationship and shape your needs, communication, and boundaries. We will begin a dialogue about the intersection of the relationship(s) and the condition(s)/context(s) which can help to improve the level of understanding and empathy in the relationship.
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you wish to learn more about how we can best address your specific needs and to help you determine whether I would be a good person to collaborate with on your journey.

62 ROSLYN ROAD, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA R3L 0G6 CANADA
Sexuality is one of the core components of human existence. Human sexuality embraces our identity, mind, body, gender and attractions. Our sexuality is guided and influenced by our relationships, culture, awareness, values and spirit, and can shift and evolve at any given time.
Many of us have unaddressed sexual questions and concerns. For some, these questions are simply too uncomfortable or embarassing to explore. For others, their concerns are overshadowed by negative messages that have created shame, fear and guilt. These, compounded by the many issues we face in our daily lives - work, school, children, relationship conflicts, stress, social pressures, etc. have created barriers to having a healthy sexuality.
Your sexuality and sexual health is a priority. Together we will work to resolve your concerns, have your questions answered, and enrich your sexual and intimacy experiences.

114 MAITLAND ST #306, TORONTO M4Y 1E1 CANADA
VIRTUAL (BASED IN HAMILTON, ON, CANADA)
Hello, I’m Marla, a counsellor, coach, and facilitator. I’ve been designing and leading workshops about diversity, sexuality and relationships for 10 years. I have since expanded my practice to include relationship coaching and sex-positive therapy for individuals, couples, and constellations* of people engaged in a wide range of relationship formations.
My professional aim is to offer accessible, wholistic, non-judgmental services to people from diverse backgrounds and identities. My work is informed by anti-oppression, anti-racist, feminist, and harm-reduction philosophies. I aim to co-create respectful, safer spaces where peoples’ identities are understood within the framework of their own life experiences and social context.
My approach varies depending on the unique relationships and needs of the person/people who collaborate with me. I tend to begin with a relational/talk-based style and incorporate alternative techniques when applicable.
The best way to get a feel for my style is to call or message me for a free consultation: connect@marlaschreiber.com (514) 714-3675
We might be a good fit if you’re looking for support in the areas of:
Relationships
Polyamory
Consensual non-monogamy
Sexuality
Intimacy
Identity
Kink/BDSM
Gender
"Coming out"*
Communication
Life transitions
Spirituality
Anxiety
Addictions
I am bilingual in English and French but have been working primarily in English for the last 5 years. I can offer French services for those who have minimal abilities in English so we can switch between languages in Montreal’s FrEnglish fashion.
Constellations refer to romantic and/or sexual relationship formations of more than 2 people.
“Coming out” is a term that is often used to describe the process of beginning to share one’s sexual orientation with others. For those who are undergoing gender transformations, or people engaged in non-traditional relationship formations, “coming out” can be a similar process of sharing intimate parts of one’s private life with others.
“Coming out” is often mistaken for something that happens once but can actually be a very complicated process for some, taking place over a long period of time. Some might say that “coming out” happens regularly throughout the lifespan.

I believe that every person has the strength and will to achieve their desired outcomes. My role is to provide you with the tools, support, education, accountability, and environment to help you get there. For shorter-term treatment we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. For longer-term therapy, we will also draw on Psychodynamic Therapy and Self Psychology. Regardless of the approach, I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust is the key.
Areas of specialization include: anxiety, depression, stress, career direction, academic stress, trauma, and spirituality. I work with men’s issues, high school students and their families, parents, and individuals.
I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach to psychotherapy. Together we will work to create authentic and meaningful experiences that facilitate change in your life. I am happy to meet with you to learn more about your goals. Please contact me for a free initial consultation.

I work with poly individuals and couples, or throuples, from both straight and queer-identified communities. I prioritize poly clients in my practice because it can be difficult to connect to a poly-positive therapist, even in a big city like Toronto.
My work is informed by anti-oppression training and guided by adult-attachment theory. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples and throuples; by building stronger connections between them, issues and concerns are often resolved.
With individuals, my work remains relational. I draw from a variety of modalities to help folks identify and communicate their needs, determine their boundaries and provide insight into the dynamics of their relationships.

The first thing I want to tell my clients is that it’s ok to be shameless. What we carry with us is often burdened under the weight of shame. This can make it challenging to share the most intimate details that are affecting our physical and mental health. I’m here to listen and to offer you space free from judgment. I work with adults who are dealing with challenges related to sex & sexuality, and alternative relationship structures; those who are navigating sexual shame; and those exploring sexual interests. I’m an activist and advocate for sexual rights & freedoms, and am queer-, kink-, polyam-, and sexworker-friendly.
Currently taking new, individual clients. Contact me for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

If you’re currently in an ethically non-monogamous relationship, it’s quite likely that you’ve been on quite a journey already. Pulling yourself loose from the world’s one-dimensional narrative on love, and instead defining your own rules isn’t always easy. I celebrate you in your courage, and understand how important it is to have a therapist who is able to relate. My stance and philosophy are explicitly inclusive, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual expression, or the way you want to shape your relationship.
Most of my clients are aged 20-45 and all find relief in the safety, warmth and openness that we create together in our sessions.
I’m a psychologist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and specialize in relationship therapy. EFT is an empirically validated method based on attachment theory, with the best results of any couple therapy currently out there. It can be successfully applied to polyamorous relationships. I also provide individual therapy to those who seek to regain balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of inner peace.
Fluent in English and Dutch, I offer both in-person sessions in Amsterdam and online sessions. Feel free to check out my website anlacan.com for advice on my blog, or to schedule a free introductory meeting!

THE PSYCHOSYNTHESIS TRUST, 92-94 TOOLEY STREET, LONDON, UK
I completed degrees in science and philosophy before qualifying as a counsellor, and I combine the analytic strength of these disciplines with the warmth of humanistic therapy. Following the person-centred approach, I believe that every person has the capacity within themselves for growth and healing. My job is to provide an empathetic and supportive environment for that capacity to unfold. My work is also influenced by cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), meaning that I help clients explore the unstated, often unhelpful, assumptions behind their responses to challenging situations. I also draw from various other theories and methods, including existential psychotherapy, transactional analysis, and mindfulness practices. I have read very broadly, within psychotherapy and related disciplines, and try to offer whatever I think would be helpful to each client as an individual without ever being prescriptive.
I have had a varied career, and I believe that familiarity with the variety of human experience is one of my great strengths as a therapist. I approach each client with warmth, an open mind, and a sense of their unique perspective on the world. I particularly welcome inquiries from clients who may worry about judgement or misunderstanding. This includes people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or otherwise embody gender, romantic and sexual diversity; people in non-monogamous relationships, who participate in BDSM, do any form of sex work, who use psychoactive drugs, belong to other minority groups, or who otherwise feel marginalised or under-served by the counselling profession.
My practice is based in South East London, and I try to offer flexible arrangements. I work both short- and long-term, and offer online session in addition to face-to-face. Please get in touch if you have any access needs or questions!

As a process-oriented practitioner I tailor sessions to you and what is happening- it may be more linear and involve talking and coaching or we will explore your dreams or work with your body. I’m deeply passionate about working with people and cherish the beautiful diversity of both humans and nature ore briadly. I’m not just interested in"fixing" things but also in engaging with the creativity of the challenges you face. I’m a cis queer white woman, aware of the privilege and challenges that this brings to my perspective.

182A LONDON RD, OFF VICTORIA TERRACE, LEICESTER, LE2 1ND, GB
As a therapist I believe that you have the power and knowledge within you to help with the problems you are experiencing; to heal and to grow. As a practitioner I make a commitment to you to help and support you with what you bring to me. To do this I use my experience and understanding to support you in a way which is open, non-judgmental, focused on your issues and as real and human as possible.
I believe therapy is about your felt experience inside and outside of the therapy room, rather than about cognitive interpretations of your past and behaviour.
Through effective therapy we can become more able to accept and respond flexibly to our feelings, relationships and circumstances.
I work with a wide variety of people including LGBTQ+ individuals and their family members; people with or supporting people with disabilities and long term health conditions; people experiencing difficulties or abuse in their relationships
As well as working with adults I am also experienced working with children and using play and art in therapeutic work.

BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM
I believe a welcoming, safe, and supportive therapeutic environment is the key to emotional healing and personal growth. Working together, we will make sense of whatever has become a problem for you in the ‘here and now’ or enduring issues with their roots in the past. My hope is you will not only gain clarity and insight but know you have been understood in the context of your history, gender, sexuality and culture. I believe often when we are faced with fears linked to uncertainty, uncontrollability and unpredictability or feeling hopeless about the future, counselling/psychotherapy can support us to make a lasting change.

I offer private therapy sessions with individuals or established relationship groups. These sessions are 50 minutes as standard, but this can be negotiated based on your individual needs and requirements.
I generally work with clients who fall into the category of gender, sexuality or relationship diverse (GSRD), whether that means someone is kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, or queer (or a combination!). I offer a non-judgemental and supportive space for people regardless of what they bring into our sessions.
I work in an integrative way. This means I pull from a variety of different therapeutic models, including humanistic, person-centred and existential. These terms might not mean a lot to you unless you are a therapist, but it basically means I will adapt the way I work to best suit you and your goals.
I work both short-term and long-term with clients based on your goals and needs.
LONDON, UK (WORKING REMOTELY ONLY CURRENTLY)
I draw on personal and professional experience in working therapeutically with diverse sexualities, including: individuals that may identify as LGBTQIA, poly/ ethically non-monogamous. I have completed training with Pink Therapy on working with Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) as a GSRD identified clinician. The main approach that I work with is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical approach which focuses on changing problematic thinking styles and behaviour patterns through the use of solutions, tools and techniques. If you are hoping to make changes fairly quickly and acquire direct solutions to your difficulties then CBT is a great option: most clients notice a change within six sessions and are able to see significant improvements within 10-12 sessions. My previous experience includes working for the NHS alongside private practice.
I am experienced in treating various presentations including: Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Health Anxiety, Phobias, OCD, Social Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, Perfectionism, Low self- esteem, PTSD, Trauma, Relationship difficulties and also Long-Term Physical Health Conditions. I utilise a transdiagnostic approach, integrating CBT models and formulations with processes that occur across disorders. This for example includes working with processes such as and Rumination and Intolerance of Uncertainty as well as painful emotions such as Shame and Guilt. Further to this, I have found it effective to incorporate third wave approaches such as Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance Skills into my clinical work. Central within my practice is the belief that effective therapy is flexible and able to address the unique difficulties that individuals present. I am interested in how dominant discourses can shape people’s lives in destructive ways. This includes, experiences of oppression, shame and identity. In the context of therapy this can mean exploring stories of the self, helping individuals externalise their difficulties and co-authoring new narratives.
I am based in South and Central Cambridge and am also able to offer sessions and via the telephone.
