Online Counselling for Non-Monogamous

Our helpers, Alisa and Aden, are both polyamorous social workers who are experienced and knowledgeable in all forms of structures within polyamory or ethical non-monogamy. Not only do they have the lived experience of being in the community, but they also advocate for safe spaces for people who are assigned female at birth (AFAB), Queer, and Trans people within the polyam umbrella.

Clinical Director and Founder, Aden, identifies themselves to be “naturally polyamorous” – being polyamorous their whole life and having a natural inclination for it. However, it was a bumpy road full of mistakes, pain, and heartbreak to get to a place of safety and security with polyamory which lead Aden to volunteer their time in Ottawa, ON over the past 5 years to increase safe spaces in the city for non-monogamous and polyam queer and trans people. They did this by creating community events, community groups, and facilitating community discussions. Although Aden’s time constraints now remove them from these efforts, other community members use the foundations Aden helped put into place to continue forward motion.

Aden is excited to share that they will be doing relationship counselling, that will likely include triads and polycules, as part of an internship that they will be doing through Our Landing Place, in May 2023. This offering is for people in Ontario & PEI, and is aiming to be a very affordable offering. Please reach out to Aden directly at aden@ourlandingplace.com if you are interested in finding out more information about this or if you would like to have your name on the email information list (work to start in May 2023).
