Services That Create
Real Change

Fast, focused relational counselling for Alberta couples. Practical tools, emotional repair, and real relational work that helps you reconnect.

Whether you’re in crisis, feeling disconnected, or simply want to strengthen your relationship, these services are designed to help you move forward with real tools, clear structure, and accountability-based coaching.

At RLT Marriage Counselling, this isn’t talk therapy that circles the same story for years. It’s fast, deep, relational work grounded in Relational Life Therapy (RLT). We get underneath the surface fights and work on the patterns that keep pulling you apart.

All services are offered online, with flexible day, evening, and weekend sessions. Whether you’re in Red Deer or anywhere across Alberta, we can get to work from the privacy of your home.

Virtual Counselling Sessions

Online sessions with no commute, no waitlists, and no judgment.
Meet from home, work, or separate locations, wherever you feel most comfortable. Sessions are held by secure Zoom and tailored to your relationship, not a one‑size‑fits‑all script.

Premarital Road Map

This isn’t your average premarital checklist. It’s a relational deep dive.
Whether it’s your first marriage or your third, Premarital Road Map helps you talk about the things that really matter: communication, conflict repair, money, parenting, extended family, and blended family realities. You don’t just need a plan for the wedding. You need a roadmap for the relationship that follows.

Conscious Uncoupling

If the relationship is ending, do it with care.
Conscious Uncoupling support helps you separate with honesty and respect, rather than more damage. We work to reduce conflict, protect children and key relationships, and help you both find a sense of clarity and closure.

Stepfamily Therapy

Blending isn’t always the right word—especially when only one of you has kids.
Stepfamilies carry unique emotional landmines: loyalty binds, outsider tension, and role confusion. With over 45 years of lived and professional stepfamily experience, I help you lead with clarity, rebuild connection, and avoid common mistakes that tear families apart.

Blended Family Counselling

Two sets of kids. Two parenting systems. One very full house.
Blended Family Counselling is for couples where both partners bring children into a new household. Together we navigate scheduling chaos, clashing values, and step‑sibling stress while building a unified couple foundation and a family culture your kids can grow in.

You don’t have to be in a relationship to start doing the work.
