Our Edmonton Therapists
Our Approach to Couples Counselling
At Virtuous Circle Counselling, we believe that every couple is unique, and therefore, we tailor our approach to meet the specific needs and goals of each couple we work with. Our experienced couples counsellors provide a safe and supportive environment where you and your partner can openly express yourselves, explore underlying issues, and develop effective strategies to improve your relationship.
During our couples counselling sessions, we address a wide range of concerns that couples commonly face, including:
1. Communication Issues
Communication is the foundation of a healthy relationship, and when communication breaks down, it can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and emotional distance. We help couples learn effective communication techniques, active listening skills, and conflict resolution strategies to enhance their ability to connect and understand each other.
2. Emotional Intimacy
Emotional intimacy is essential for a strong and fulfilling relationship. We assist couples in developing a deeper emotional connection, building trust, and fostering a sense of safety and vulnerability within the relationship.
3. Rebuilding Trust
Trust is crucial in any relationship, and when it is compromised, it can be challenging to rebuild. Our counsellors guide couples through the process of rebuilding trust, addressing past hurts, and establishing a foundation of honesty and transparency.
4. Managing Conflict
Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but learning how to manage and resolve conflicts in a healthy manner is key. We teach couples effective conflict resolution techniques and provide tools to navigate disagreements constructively.
5. Enhancing Intimacy and Connection
Intimacy encompasses emotional, physical, and sexual aspects of a relationship. We help couples explore and address issues related to intimacy, including sexual satisfaction, emotional closeness, and maintaining a strong bond.
6. Life Transitions and Stressors
Couples often face significant challenges during major life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, career changes, or relocation. We assist couples in navigating these transitions, adapting to new roles, and managing stressors that may arise.

What Is Couples Counselling?
Couples counselling is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on addressing the unique dynamics and challenges within a romantic relationship. Our experienced couples counsellors create a safe and supportive environment where you and your partner can openly explore your concerns, improve communication, and work towards resolving conflicts. Through evidence-based techniques and personalized guidance, couples counselling aims to strengthen the emotional connection and foster healthier relationship patterns.
What Is The Difference Between Marriage Counselling And Couples Therapy?
Marriage counselling and couples therapy are often used interchangeably, but they differ slightly in their approach. Marriage counselling primarily focuses on the institution of marriage and aims to address specific issues related to married couples. On the other hand, couples therapy encompasses a broader scope, catering to all types of intimate relationships, including dating, engaged, cohabiting, and married couples. Both approaches share the common goal of enhancing relationship satisfaction and resolving conflicts.
Can Couples Counselling Save My Relationship?
While no therapy can guarantee specific outcomes, couples counselling has proven to be highly effective in improving relationships and helping couples overcome challenges. It provides a supportive space for partners to explore their concerns, gain insights into relationship patterns, and develop healthier ways of relating to each other. Whether you’re dealing with communication issues, trust issues, intimacy problems, or other relationship struggles, couples counselling can provide the tools and guidance you need to rebuild and revitalize your connection.
At Virtuous Circle Counselling, we understand that every couple is going to be different, and we’re here to address any concerns or questions you may have about couples counselling. Our experienced therapists are committed to providing a supportive and confidential environment where you and your partner can work towards a stronger relationship. Schedule an appointment today and start on the pathway to reconnecting with your partner.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, couples counselling is not solely for couples in crisis. It can benefit couples at any stage of their relationship, whether they are experiencing challenges or simply want to enhance their connection. Couples counselling provides a supportive and neutral space to explore concerns, improve communication, and strengthen the emotional bond between partners.
The duration of couples counselling varies depending on the unique circumstances and goals of each couple. Some couples may experience positive changes within a few sessions, while others may require more time to address deeply rooted issues. Our experienced couples counsellors in Edmonton work collaboratively with you to develop a customized treatment plan that fits your needs and timeline, aiming to achieve meaningful and lasting results.
Ideally, both partners should be willing to engage in couples counselling for the most effective outcome. However, even if only one partner is initially open to therapy, significant progress can still be made. By working with a skilled couples counsellor, the willing partner can learn strategies to improve communication and foster positive change within the relationship. As the dynamic between partners shifts, it often encourages the other partner to become more engaged in the counselling process.
