Welcome to Village Wisdom Counselling

At Village Wisdom, we believe that relationships are central to what makes us human. Our ability to socialize and collaborate with others has always been, and continues to be, an evolutionary advantage. Even today, we know that the quality of your relationships strongly influences the quality of your life.

At Village Wisdom, we work with couples, families, and individuals in Prince George, in person at our downtown office or virtually anywhere in British Columbia, to help rebuild the communication and connection that gets strained over time, whether you call it couples counselling or marriage counselling. Learn more about our approach.

Couples & Marriage Counselling

Whether you're newly together, married, or navigating a long-term partnership, couples and marriage counselling gives you a structured space to work through what's hard to untangle on your own, recurring conflict, a decline in intimacy, infidelity, or the slower wear of unmet emotional needs.

We use two approaches, matched to what's actually in front of us rather than one fixed program:

  • Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) — our lead approach for high-conflict situations or working through infidelity, focused on understanding the emotional cycle underneath the fight
  • The Gottman Method — a better fit for couples who want practical, day-to-day communication skills

A typical first session starts with both of you together, followed by brief individual check-ins, before coming back together to set shared goals for the work ahead.

How We Work With You

We match the approach to what's actually in front of us. Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is our lead approach, especially for high-conflict situations or working through infidelity, while the Gottman Method fits couples who want practical, day-to-day communication skills.

A session together first

We start by hearing your shared history and the pattern behind the conflict, together.

Individual check-ins

We also meet with each partner separately to understand what doesn't always come up in the room together.

Setting goals together

From there, we build shared goals for the work and track real movement in how you communicate over time.

About Village Wisdom Counselling

Village Wisdom Counselling is a Prince George practice led by Adejuwon Adeleye, a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. Adejuwon has worked in individual counselling since 2017 and has focused specifically on couples and marriage work for the past three years, including infidelity and trust-recovery cases. He's Gottman-informed (Level 1 & 2) and EFT-informed, and blends both approaches to fit each couple rather than following one fixed method. Village Wisdom welcomes clients of all backgrounds, abilities, and relationship structures. Learn more about Adejuwon.
