Quick answer
Infidelity counselling, or affair recovery counselling, helps couples cope with the emotional impact of an affair, whether physical, emotional or online. A neutral therapist guides both partners through processing the betrayal, understanding what led to it, rebuilding trust step by step where both choose to, and making clear decisions about the relationship’s future.
Recovery usually follows phases: stabilizing after the discovery, understanding the affair, and building a new relationship together. Couples can and do rebuild after infidelity, and counselling can also help partners separate respectfully.
Is this right for you?
The weeks and months after a betrayal can feel chaotic. These are common experiences couples bring to counselling.
Replaying details, constant questions and difficulty focusing on anything else.
Anger, grief, shame and anxiety that swing from hour to hour.
Every conversation turns into an interrogation or a fight.
Not knowing whether to rebuild or separate.
The partner who strayed struggling to respond in a way that helps.
Worry about children, extended family and cultural expectations.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions and see if we are the right fit. No referral is needed.
How we help
Your therapist stays neutral and supports both partners. We go at a pace that feels safe and focus first on stability.
Sessions are usually 50 to 60 minutes, in person at our South Edmonton office or online by secure video anywhere in Alberta. Individual sessions can be included alongside couples work.
The partner who had the affair takes responsibility, answers questions honestly and shows consistent transparency, while the hurt partner’s pain is acknowledged.
Couples learn to understand the conditions that made the relationship vulnerable and to communicate needs, hurts and longings safely.
Rebuilding emotional and physical closeness, and creating new shared commitments for the future, when both partners choose to continue.

Yes. Many couples rebuild trust after an affair, often with a stronger understanding of each other. It takes time, honesty and commitment from both partners, and counselling provides a structure for that work.
Usually both. Joint sessions are the core of affair recovery, with individual sessions when helpful. The therapist remains neutral and does not keep secrets that undermine the couples work.
It varies. Many couples need several months of regular sessions to move through stabilization, understanding and rebuilding.
That is common. Counselling can help you gain clarity about the relationship before making a decision, and support you through either path.
No. You can book directly online or by phone. A doctor’s referral is not required, although some insurance plans ask for one, so check your plan if you plan to claim.
