Couples counselling
Relationship ups and downs are normal. Couples counselling offers a place to strengthen the positive areas of your relationship and intervene in areas where further support would be helpful. Through the counselling process, couples will have a chance to work on implementing tools to strengthen their relationship, as well as rebuild communication and friendship whilst addressing their areas of concern.
Using research-backed strategies from the Gottman Method, sessions provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore challenges, identify unhelpful patterns, and build a stronger foundation for your relationship. Whether you're working through ongoing conflict, recovering from a breach of trust, or simply wanting to strengthen your connection, Gottman Couples Counselling can help you move toward a healthier, more satisfying partnership.
The Gottman frame work is a more structured counselling approach taking time to dive into the history of your relationship. What is working, what your strengths as a couple are, and what is not working. This allows everyone to work together to address the root of the concerns, and develop different approaches to conflict and areas of concern within the relationship.

Gottman's Couples Counselling
Every relationship experiences moments of distance, conflict, or feeling misunderstood. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach that helps couples strengthen their emotional connection by identifying the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Rather than focusing on blame, EFT helps partners better understand each other's emotions, needs, and attachment patterns, creating opportunities for greater empathy, trust, and security.

Yes, it is possible to engage in almost all forms of counselling virtually and have an effective outcome from the counselling service.
Is counselling as effective when it is done virtually?
Yes, not every clinician is going to be a perfect fit, and as such, it is possible to switch clinicians. Please feel free to reach out in the Contact Us section, or by sending an email to info@virtualconnect.ca
What if I do not connect with my counsellor, is it an option to switch counsellors?
You will be asked to share where you reside/what province you have benefits in, then you will be connected with a clinician who is registered to work in that province to ensure that benefits will cover the counselling.
Will my benefits cover the cost of counselling?
All counsellors at Virtual Connect are registered with their regulatory provincial body, hold a master's degree, and abide by an ethical and research informed standard of practice.
