• How long does couples counselling take to work?

Pre-marital counselling can help couples strengthen their relationship, resolve any issues that could create future conflict, and develop better communication skills before getting married.

• How much does couples therapy cost?

  The cost of couples therapy or couples counselling depends on the number of sessions needed and the complexity of the issues. We offer flexible evening and weekend appointments, whether you’re attending sessions in person or through virtual couples therapy near you. Contact us for more information about fees and scheduling.

• Do both partners need to attend relationship counselling?

  In relationship counselling, the key is that both individuals are present to work on communication, conflict resolution, and mutual understanding, guided by a therapist. Both partners’ participation is essential because the dynamic between them is what the therapist aims to address and improve. In relationship counselling, therapists will also sometimes recommend individual sessions with each partner as part of the overall process. These individual sessions can help each person explore their own feelings, behaviours, and perspectives more deeply, which can ultimately benefit the relationship.

• What can we expect during couples counselling sessions?

  During couples counselling, you can expect to explore the challenges in your relationship, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Our therapists work with couples near Timmins and across Ontario virtually, providing tools to create a stronger, more connected relationship.

• Who can benefit from couples counselling?

  Couples counselling isn’t just for married couples or those facing serious issues. It can be helpful for any partnership looking to improve communication, resolve conflicts, or deepen their connection. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship, dating, or considering marriage, partnership counselling can benefit you.

• Does going to counselling mean our relationship is failing?

  Seeking couples counselling doesn’t mean your relationship is failing or broken. In fact, it’s often a proactive step toward strengthening your connection and preventing further issues.
