“My husband and I came to see Andrea to help us with our communication around sensitive topics. We were at the point that neither of us could see a way to resolve our issues and were considering ending our marriage. With Andrea’s help we have worked through many of our road blocks. With her help we have started to develop a communication style that helps each of us hear what the other is feeling without reacting or judgement. Lots to still solve, as life is a continual learning process. Now however, we feel confident we can sort our issues out. We highly recommend Andrea as a therapist.”

“Five Star Relationships has teamed up with our school's referral system to offer counselling to students. The counsellors at Five Star Relationships take the time to meet with parents, teachers, and administration to discuss situations and approaches for each unique student. With ongoing communication, 1:1 counselling, and a foundational Christian perspective Five Star has come alongside our school's mission. I'm grateful for the partnership that has evolved to meet the needs of our students.”

“HOPE House has been working with Five Star Relationships for close to one year to provide effective one on one counselling to vulnerable populations. Individuals who have accessed their services have told us that they are able to work through long standing challenges and start to take positive steps forward. Great organization to work with that recognizes the needs of at risk populations.”
