Why seek couples counselling

Life presents us with many challenges, and seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Couples choose counselling for various reasons, including:

Communication Issues

Intimacy Issues

Preemptive Support

Infidelity or Betrayal

Life Transitions

Desiring Deeper Connection

Our approach

We know life can throw you off balance—whether it’s the weight of past trauma, the strain in your relationship, or the pressure of high-stress work. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

We offer a safe, judgment-free space to untangle life’s complexities, process difficult emotions, and build skills that stick. Every session is collaborative, rooted in empathy, and tailored to you because no two journeys are the same.

Benefits of couples counselling

Improved communication

Couples counselling helps partners express themselves clearly, listen actively, and reduce misunderstandings, leading to more meaningful conversations.

Stronger connection

Working with a counsellor can help you gain perspective on challenges, identify patterns, and weigh options more clearly. This support often leads to greater confidence in making decisions and taking steps that align with your values and goals.

Increased confidence

Couples counselling provides tools to navigate disagreements constructively, helping partners manage conflict calmly and collaboratively while enhancing long-term relationship satisfaction.

 FAQs about our couples counselling services

  • Not at all! We’ve worked with many couples who are quite happy and have every intention of staying together, but simply want a little extra help working through a perpetual issue in their relationship (e.g., cleaning, finances, sex, etc.). Alternatively, they may want a bit of extra support before embarking on a major life transition, like a move or having children.

    For couples who are in more distress, there is lots of hope for you too! In fact, it takes most couples six years of struggle on average before seeking professional help. We’ll work on understanding what core needs are not being met, where communication is going awry, and how to navigate conflict in a way that helps you both get the outcome you want - a deeper sense of connection.

  • In couples and family work, it is essential to have a ‘No Secrets’ policy. This means, if you tell your counsellor something in secrecy, they cannot keep this information confidential from your partner. This protects the integrity of the relationship with ALL parties, ensures your counsellor is not unfairly forming an alliance with anyone, and ultimately makes our work as successful as possible. Your counsellor will review this more in your first session.

  • Couples’ work is about getting out of the “blame game” and moving away from condemning, belittling, and criticizing each other. Assigning blame is rarely helpful as most relationship issues are perpetuated and maintained by all parties in the relationship. We know relationships take hard work and are constantly evolving. Couples’ work can help you hold each other accountable for your role in the chaos, and move toward healing.

  • Your counsellor will take some time getting to know you and your relationship dynamics. Together you’ll explore some questions designed to get a deeper understanding of the history and root of the problem. You may work on some exercises designed to help you communicate better in between sessions. Your counsellor may leave you with some homework to tackle in between sessions as well.

  • If for whatever reason, couples counseling is terminated and one of you wants to continue individual counseling with your counsellor, they can see you individually, provided that both partners are aware of and agree to this arrangement.

    If you would like to resume couples’ work at some point in the future, it is typically best for us to refer you to another couples clinician. This is because you will have likely developed a deeper relationship with your counsellor and it would be difficult for them to be unbiased after being so partial to your perspective. This would be unfair to you and your partner!

  • Couples counselling sessions are $250 for a 50-minute session or $290 for a 75-minute session. These fees are set in accordance with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) fee schedule and professional standards.

    At each appointment, you will receive a receipt with all information necessary to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement if necessary.
