Feel connected again, in person or online
Every relationship goes through hard stretches. Conversations turn into the same argument, one partner pulls away while the other pushes harder, and over time you can start to feel more like roommates than a team.
Couples counselling at Village Wisdom Counselling gives you a calm, structured space to slow that pattern down and understand what is really happening between you. Sessions are available in person at our Prince George office or online anywhere in British Columbia.
You do not need to be in crisis to start. Many couples come in early, before small problems harden into big ones.
What Is Couples Counselling, and How Does It Work?
Couples counselling, also called couples therapy, marriage counselling, or relationship counselling, helps two partners understand the patterns that keep them stuck and practise new ones. The focus is the relationship, not deciding who is right.
Adejuwon matches two evidence-based approaches to what you are facing:
- Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is his lead approach. It maps the cycle you fall into and the raw spots beneath it, so you respond instead of react. It suits high-conflict couples and recovery after infidelity.
- The Gottman Method adds practical tools for communication, conflict, and intimacy.
The first sessions include a joint session, one-on-one time with each partner, then a shared session to set goals and complete a short baseline questionnaire (the ARE), repeated later to track progress.
Meet Your Couples Therapist in Prince George: Adejuwon Adeleye
Adejuwon Adeleye is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master of Counselling from Athabasca University. He has supported individuals since about 2017 and has focused on couples for the past three years.
His training includes Gottman Method Levels 1 and 2 and EFT Core and Fundamentals training. He describes his practice as Gottman-informed and EFT-informed, and he chooses the approach that fits each couple instead of following one fixed script.
He has worked with more than ten couples on rebuilding trust after infidelity. At the start he tells every couple the same thing: the relationship is the client. He is not there to take a side. He works with both of you against the pattern that is hurting you.
Progress looks like arguments that once took weeks to repair settling in minutes, partners turning toward each other instead of away, and conversations that need less steering from him as the work goes on. Read more about his background on our About page.
