Affordable Couples therapy in BC & Ontario (3 Rate Tiers + Free First Session w/Gwendolyn Gentle)
If you’re considering couples counselling, you might be carrying two big questions at once: Can this actually help us? and Can we afford it? At Strength in Heart Counselling, we believe support should feel accessible, respectful, and realistic, so you can focus on your relationship, not financial stress.
Affordable couples counselling (with 3 rate tiers)
We offer three tiers of couples counselling rates, so you can choose the level of support (and price point) that fits your needs.
Tier 1: First full 50-minute session is FREE, then $70 per session (online/virtual only with Gwendolyn Gentle, MSW (cand))
Tier 2: $125 per 50-minute couples session (online/virtual & in our Victoria BC office)
Tier 3: $185 per 50-minute couples session (online/virtual & in both our Victoria BC & Cowichan Valley office)
Important note: The free first full session applies only to Gwendolyn Gentle.
Start with a free 20-minute consultation (all counsellors)
No matter which tier you choose, all of our couples counsellors offer a free 20-minute virtual consultation. It’s a low-pressure way to ask questions, get a feel for the counsellor’s style, and decide what next step makes sense for you.
What couples counselling can help with
Every relationship has its own story. Couples counselling can be a supportive place to work through:
Communication breakdowns and recurring arguments
Feeling disconnected, distant, or “roommate-ish”
Trust repair after betrayal or boundary ruptures
Differences in parenting, money, or family dynamics
Intimacy challenges
Anxiety, stress, or life transitions impacting the relationship
Rebuilding teamwork after a tough season
Navigating separation with respect (including co-parenting)
A supportive, evidence-based approach
Many couples don’t need “more advice.” They need a space where both people can feel heard, where patterns can be understood, and where repair becomes possible.
Our approach is non-judgmental, inclusive, and evidence-based. Depending on your counsellor and goals, sessions may draw from approaches like:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Narrative Therapy
Getting started (simple steps)
Book a free 20-minute consultation (with any couples counsellor)
