Couples Counselling in Barrie ON

If your relationship feels strained, distant, or stuck in repeating patterns, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down, trust feels fragile, or emotional connection fades. I offer couples counselling in Barrie ON to help partners slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin working toward meaningful change—together.

Common questions about couples counselling

How much does couples counselling cost?

Couples therapy sessions are $240 for 60 minutes.

Do you take sides in therapy?

No. I work to support both partners equally, helping you understand each other and the relationship dynamic.

How many sessions will we need?

This depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some couples attend for a short period, while others continue longer to deepen their work.

What if my partner is unsure about therapy?

It’s common for one partner to feel more ready than the other. Starting a conversation about goals and expectations can help. A consultation may also make the process feel more approachable.
