Getting engaged is one of the most exciting times in your life. You’re dreaming about your future, planning your wedding, and imagining the life you’ll build together. Pre-marital counselling helps you turn those dreams into reality by giving you practical tools to navigate the everyday moments that make a marriage thrive.
Most couples meet with us for 5-6 sessions where we talk about the real stuff that matters in marriage:
These aren’t lectures. They’re honest conversations where you’ll walk away with practical skills you’ll use for the rest of your lives.
Prefer a more intensive experience? We also offer pre-marital retreats over 2-3 days. Email us at [email protected] for details.
We serve residents throughout Mississauga, Brampton, and Peel Region with in-person and online sessions

You’ll walk away with practical tools you can use right away. We use proven approaches like the Gottman Method and the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment, both backed by decades of research on what makes marriages succeed. The PREPARE/ENRICH assessment helps you identify your strengths as a couple and areas where you might face challenges down the road. The Gottman Method gives you specific techniques for managing conflict, staying connected, and building friendship in your marriage. Most couples tell us they feel more confident, more connected, and better prepared for the realities of married life after completing the sessions.
Each session is typically 50–60 minutes. Most couples complete the program in 5–6 sessions, though some choose to add more depending on their needs and schedule. We space them out to give you time to practice what you’re learning between sessions.
Absolutely! Many couples prefer online sessions because they’re easier to fit into busy wedding planning schedules. You get the same quality counselling whether you meet with us in person at our Mississauga office or connect from the comfort of your own home.
Many Coptic churches partner with us to provide pre-marital counselling as a gift to engaged couples. Your church will typically contact us directly to set up the arrangement and cover the fees. All you need to do is reach out to schedule your first session and let us know your church is sponsoring the sessions. We’ll handle the rest.
Yes. We work with many Christian couples and understand the unique aspects of your faith tradition and cultural values. We respect the role of the church in your marriage preparation and see our work as complementing what you’re learning through your church. If you’d like to integrate your Christian faith into the sessions, we’re happy to do that. If you prefer a more general approach, that works too.
Not at all! Pre-marital counselling is for couples who want to start strong, not just couples trying to fix problems. Think of it like taking driving lessons before you get your license. You’re learning skills before you need them in a crisis. Most couples who come to us are excited about their future and want to build the best foundation possible.
Your priest provides spiritual guidance and prepares you for the sacrament of marriage, which is essential. Pre-marital counselling focuses on the practical, day-to-day skills that help marriages thrive. We cover topics like communication patterns, financial planning, conflict resolution, and intimacy in ways that complement your spiritual preparation. Many couples find that both types of preparation together give them the most complete foundation for marriage.
We’re here to help you build a marriage that goes the distance. Our therapists understand the unique joys and challenges facing couples in Ontario, and we’re honoured to walk this exciting season with you.
Most couples complete 5-6 sessions with us. We’ll work around your busy wedding planning schedule with flexible appointment times, including evenings and online options.
