Marital / Couple Counselling in Calgary

Your first intensive focuses on a clear map of patterns, triggers, and repair attempts that have not worked. From there you practice small, specific skills that create momentum at home. Our marital couple counselling intensives include structured exercises, feedback that is direct and kind, and a take home plan so you know what to practice between visits. Many couples complete six to eight intensives over a short period, then taper as skills become routine. Couples choose marital couple counselling when they want targeted work that respects time and delivers practical change.

Many relationships strain under long workdays, constant notifications, and less quality time. As Dr. Sue Johnson notes, technology can put intimacy on the run, which is why boundaries matter. In this climate, marital couple counselling provides a neutral space to discuss privacy, transparency, and agreements about phones, social media, and online behaviour. You will leave with simple rituals that rebuild closeness and reduce resentment.
