Our Approach

At Anchored Connections, marriage counselling is about understanding each couple's unique journey and providing tailored support. Both Julie and Nicole offer a compassionate and informed approach, grounded in their professional expertise and personal faith, to help couples navigate the complexities of marriage and foster stronger, healthier relationships.

To accommodate couples in different locations, we offer the flexibility of video counselling sessions where partners can dial in separately. This is particularly helpful for those who cannot be physically together due to distance or scheduling conflicts. To facilitate this, couples are encouraged to book a session and then email our office at office@anchoredconnections.ca with their details. We will arrange everything to ensure a seamless and supportive counselling experience, no matter where each partner is located.

Our commitment at Anchored Connections is to adapt to the needs of every couple, ensuring that distance does not hinder the path to a stronger and more resilient relationship.
