Couples and Marriage Counselling in Vancouver, BC
Couples Therapy for people in Vancouver is with Camille Granda, RCC, CCC, by secure video, with a free 15-minute consultation, no referral, and receipts your extended health plan can process.
Two people, two commutes, one appointment. The logistics defeat more Vancouver couples than the therapy does.
Updated
Couples counselling has a scheduling problem that individual work does not: it needs two people free at the same time. In Vancouver that frequently means two different commutes converging on a third location at an hour that suits neither, and the first appointment either of them cannot make becomes the one that ends the attempt.
Joining from home, or from two different places when that is what the week allows, removes the single most common practical reason couples work stops. It also changes the texture of the session. You are having a difficult conversation in the room where you actually have difficult conversations, rather than in a neutral office you both leave immediately afterwards.
Sessions are $175 for 50 minutes (BCACC’s 2026 fee guide recommends $155 to $205) and start with a free 15-minute video call, no charge, no card, and no obligation to book anything afterwards. Many BC extended health plans reimburse a Registered Clinical Counsellor; whether yours does is plan-dependent, so check it for the RCC designation before the first paid session. Fees and extended-health cover are set out in full.

Getting counselling in Vancouver
Vancouver has more counsellors per resident than anywhere else in the province, and the constraint is almost never distance. It is that the ones taking new clients are booked, and the commute to a downtown or Kitsilano office at rush hour costs more time than the session itself.
There is no shortage of private practices here. What there is a shortage of is openings: the practices with the strongest reputations tend to hold waitlists, and a clinic that can see you this month is often one you found because nobody else could take you.
Public mental-health intake for Vancouver runs through Vancouver Coastal Health. That route matters if you are seeking publicly funded care. It has no bearing on seeing a Registered Clinical Counsellor privately, which needs no referral and no diagnosis. See how RCCs, psychologists and social workers differ.
Removing the commute is not a small convenience in this city. A 50-minute session that costs ninety minutes of travel either side is the appointment people quietly stop attending around week six.

What couples therapy involves
The full picture: how sessions are structured, what the first one is like, and what it does not do, is on the page for online couples and marriage counselling across BC. If you are still working out what you need, the short questionnaire is a quicker route than reading all of them, and what to expect in a first session covers the part most people are actually nervous about.
Questions from Vancouver
Can we join from two separate locations?
Yes, and some couples deliberately do, occasionally because one partner travels, occasionally because separate rooms make a particular conversation more possible rather than less.
How long is a couples session?
Fifty minutes at $175, with a 110-minute extended session at $340 for work that genuinely needs the longer run. The extended format is usually a considered choice rather than the starting point.
Is couples therapy available in East Vancouver, Kitsilano or the West End?
Yes. Couples Therapy by secure video reaches East Vancouver, Kitsilano and the West End exactly as it reaches Vancouver: there is no office to get to and the same fee applies however far out you are. Vancouver Coastal Health is the public route for Vancouver and the rest of its region; this is the private one, and it needs no referral.
