Paul Lucas, Marriage & Relationship Counsellor
My experience with counseling began in childhood. Our family attended weekly sessions, which I found pointless and disliked. However, it was a regular part of our lives.
I wanted a different approach. I sought to avoid the formality and jargon often associated with therapy, surrounding myself instead with like-minded counselors who prioritized authenticity. I opened my own practice in 2012 and have been working as a counselor ever since.
I'm an Advanced Relational Therapist, having completed all levels of RLT training. I also utilize Gottman Method, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques and am an approved Prepare-Enrich marriage facilitator. Most couples find me through referrals from friends, colleagues, and acquaintances.
I'm honored to have been recognized as a Top 3 Marriage Counselor in Hamilton for several years, receiving Gold and Silver awards from Burlington Votes in 2021 and 2024, and most recently, as a Top 3 Marriage Counselor in Burlington.
