Polyamory & Open Relationship Counselling

Support for Navigating Polyamorous, Open, and Ethically Non-Monogamous Relationships

At Waypoint, we are committed to offering evidence-based therapies that help you navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional balance. If you are interesting in connecting to a relationship counsellor familiar with the dynamics of polyamory or ethical non-monogamy, please reach out by contacting us or completing our matching form below.

All of our counsellors offer sessions by phone or online with a secure video link.

Relationships come in many forms. While some people choose monogamy, others build relationships that involve multiple partners, open relationship agreements, or other forms of ethical non-monogamy.

These relationships can be deeply fulfilling, but they can also present unique challenges that may benefit from professional support.

At Waypoint Counselling Network, we offer counselling for individuals, couples, and relationship groups who are navigating polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, or questions about relationship structure. Our goal is not to tell you how your relationships should look, but rather to help you build healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and more satisfying connections.

Common Reasons People Seek Polyamory Counselling

People seek counselling for many different reasons, including:

• Opening a previously monogamous relationship
• Exploring whether polyamory or ethical non-monogamy is right for them
• Navigating jealousy, insecurity, or fear of loss
• Establishing boundaries and relationship agreements
• Managing differences in relationship expectations
• Improving communication between partners
• Rebuilding trust after broken agreements
• Balancing multiple relationships and competing needs
• Navigating family, parenting, or social challenges
• Processing relationship transitions and breakups

Many people discover that the skills needed for successful polyamorous relationships—clear communication, emotional awareness, honesty, and boundary-setting—are also the skills that help all relationships thrive.

A Non-Judgmental and Inclusive Approach

Our counsellors recognize that healthy relationships can take many forms.

Whether you identify as polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, in an open relationship, relationship-anarchist, curious about alternative relationship structures, or simply exploring what feels right for you, counselling provides a confidential space to reflect, communicate, and grow.

We strive to create an environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free to discuss their experiences without fear of judgment.

Individual Counselling for Polyamory-Related Concerns

You do not need to attend counselling with a partner to benefit from support.

Individual counselling can help you:

• Explore your relationship values and goals
• Better understand feelings of jealousy, anxiety, or insecurity
• Develop healthier communication skills
• Build self-confidence and self-awareness
• Navigate difficult relationship decisions
• Process relationship transitions and loss

Many clients find individual counselling helpful whether they are currently in a polyamorous relationship or simply considering whether it may be right for them.

Relationship Counselling for Multiple Partners

Counselling can also involve two or more partners when appropriate.

Relationship counselling provides a structured environment where participants can discuss concerns, improve communication, strengthen trust, and work toward shared goals. Sessions can help relationship partners better understand one another’s needs while developing practical strategies for navigating challenges together.

Every relationship is unique, and counselling is tailored to the specific dynamics, goals, and concerns of the people involved.

Finding the Right Counsellor

Not every counsellor has experience working with polyamory or ethical non-monogamy. Finding someone who understands the unique dynamics of these relationships can make a significant difference.

Waypoint Counselling Network will help connect you with a counsellor whose experience, approach, and perspective align with your needs.

A good place to start is to contact us or complete our matching questionnaire. We will then provide you with options for a counsellor in your location or online. And everything is strictly confidential.
