Individual sessions start at $150 per 50-minute session. Payments can be made by credit card or e-transfer.

Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes. Longer sessions can be made available upon request.

At AGC, we use a variety of effective, evidence-based approaches that we’ve personally tried and stand by. We tailor our methods to fit your individual needs and goals. These may include the Gottman Method, the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Our goal is to support your healing and growth so you can have healthier, more fulfilling relationships.










What approaches do you use?

Do I need my partner to be in Relationship Therapy to get the benefits?

No, you don't need your partner to be in therapy for you to benefit. Therapy can help you work on yourself, which will ultimately improve your relationship. It's also a safe place to explore issues you might not be ready to discuss with your partner, like thinking about separation.





Do you offer premarital counselling?

Yes, we offer premarital counselling. We’re big believers in early intervention, as it has the highest success rate in couples therapy. Our services are tailored to your relationship stage and unique goals.

How is EMDR used in Relationship Counselling?

EMDR in relationship counselling helps couples deal with past issues affecting their relationship. It reduces triggers like relationship anxiety, helping partners respond more thoughtfully. It also assists in processing grief from past relationships, and addresses barriers to intimacy, such as sexual blocks.





Relationship Counselling is for individuals working on themselves—whether to address past relationship baggage, understand patterns, or gain clarity in a current relationship.
Couples Counselling is for committed partners who want to work on their relationship together.

Relationship therapy and relationship counselling are often used interchangeably.
