Counselling for Couples has been Temporarily Suspended
Whether you’re looking at staying together or separating, we can offer support. Our counsellors are here to help you navigate these changes in a confidential, professional setting. Our aim is to help resolve outstanding issues – not to ensure a couple stays together.
Tired of fighting, or of every difference of opinion turning into a fight?
Family Services of Greater Victoria can help. Our Relationship Referee service can help you set the rules for a healthy relationship and give you the capacity to communicate more effectively. This is a specialized service that is slightly different than traditional couples counselling.
Contact us to schedule an intake appointment and our Head Referee will interview both of you independently. After that, we’ll set a time for both of you to come in and sit down with a referee. You can bring up specific issues that seem to stay unresolved or general issues in how you communicate and resolve differences. The Relationship Referee process is expected to require at least a couple of sessions before things can be considered "worked out".
Note: Family Services of Greater Victoria, reserves the right to refuse service if we feel we cannot meet your needs
