About Fraser Valley Counselling

Welcome to Fraser Valley Counselling, where we offer professional and compassionate counselling services designed to help individuals and couples overcome challenges and strengthen their relationships.

Our Services

Marriage and Relationship Coaching

At Fraser Valley Counselling, we specialise in relationship coaching for both individuals and couples. Our goal is to help you build healthier, more fulfilling connections by addressing issues such as communication breakdowns, trust issues, infidelity, and emotional distance. By using the Gottman Method, we provide structured guidance that helps you and your partner develop the skills necessary for lasting change.

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on improving communication, enhancing emotional intimacy, and managing conflict. Couples will benefit from personalised coaching designed to strengthen their bond and resolve ongoing issues.

Family Counselling

We understand that family dynamics can be complicated, especially when dealing with parenting challenges, blended family issues, or conflict between family members. Our family counselling services aim to improve communication, foster mutual understanding, and promote healthier relationships within the family unit.

Whether you’re facing parent-child conflicts, sibling rivalry, or challenges with extended family, we are here to help you navigate these difficult situations and find common ground.

Individual Therapy

In addition to couples and family counselling, we offer individual therapy sessions for those looking to address personal concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, or grief. Our individual therapy sessions are tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals, providing the space for self-exploration and personal growth.

• Premarital counselling

• Relationship conflicts

• Divorce and separation

Benefits and Risks of Counselling

Counselling can provide numerous benefits, including improved coping mechanisms, enhanced relationships, and personal growth. However, it may bring up difficult emotions as you address past issues. We offer a safe and supportive environment to help you navigate these emotions constructively.

Payment and Insurance

We accept Debit, Visa, Mastercard, and Cash for payment. While extended benefits typically do not cover coaching, some health spending accounts may be used for this purpose. Business owners may also explore using coaching receipts as a business expense—consult with your accountant for details.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

We require 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations within a shorter time frame will incur a charge at the full session rate.

Take the first step toward a healthier relationship today with Fraser Valley Counselling. We look forward to supporting you through your journey of change and growth.
