It’s all about you

Is your relationship feeling the strain of Kawartha Lakes’ unique dynamics? From rural isolation to seasonal cottage country pressures, Kawartha Lakes couples face distinct challenges that can create disconnection whether you live in Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, or one of the many rural communities.

At Couples Counselling Centre, we understand how this vast municipality’s rural character, tourism fluctuations, and geographic spread affect intimate relationships. Our specialized approach addresses the specific needs of couples in this diverse collection of small towns and countryside.

Don’t let Kawartha Lakes’ geographic isolation limit your access to relationship support. Our evidence-based virtual therapy helps couples create a secure, loving bond that can thrive in this beautiful but challenging region.

We Are here to help

Meet MaryAnn Dawood

I always knew that “The bond between the couple is the heartbeat of the home”. The heartbeat is the life force. When the couples relationship is characterized by a lot of conflict and fighting, it resonates in the home. I knew that when you help a couple, you help them as individuals and you help their home! There is no greater pursuit in my eyes !
