Marriage Counselling for Brampton Couples
It's gotten hard to talk about anything important without it turning into a fight, and neither of you likes who you are in those moments. I'm Sherriden Brown, a Registered Psychotherapist and certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, and I see Brampton couples by video, or in person at my Port Credit office straight down Hurontario.
When Small Things Keep Turning Into Big Fights
Brampton couples often call me while carrying a lot at once, with shift work, long drives, kids and extended family all needing something. With that much going on, the marriage is usually the first thing to get pushed to later.
- A late reply or a forgotten errand turns into a fight about everything.
- One of you feels like you carry more of the load, and the other feels blamed for it.
- Family gets pulled into your arguments, or you keep it all from them and feel alone with it.
- You've talked about counselling before, and one of you isn't sure about it yet.
Most couples in this spot still want the marriage. They just can't talk about any of it without it blowing up.
Most couples from Brampton meet with me online, from home, once the house is quiet. If you'd prefer to come in, it's a straight drive down Hurontario to Port Credit.
YOUR THERAPIST
Meet Sherriden Brown
I started training in Emotionally Focused Therapy in 2020 and became certified in it in 2026. Outside the office I'm usually in the garden or out sailing, and busy with my four children.
I've been through a divorce myself, so I know how much is riding on this for both of you. More about my training and background is on my About page.
ONLINE SESSIONS
Couples Counselling Online From Brampton
The drive down Hurontario can run well past half an hour at the end of the day, so most Brampton couples meet with me by video.
- Book the free 15-minute call and tell me a bit about what's going on.
- Before each session you'll get a private video link by email.
- Join together from one quiet room at home, on a laptop or a phone.
If you'd ever like to meet in person, my office is at 92 Lakeshore Road East in Port Credit.
WHERE TO START
If Couples Sessions Aren't the Right Fit Yet
Sometimes it makes more sense to start somewhere else first.
If you're pregnant or have a baby under a year old, my pregnancy and postpartum therapy page explains how I help couples through that first year.
If your partner isn't ready yet, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy looks at the same patterns with just you.
For most couples, though, marriage counselling is the place to begin.

FAQs
Questions From Brampton Couples
What people from Brampton usually ask me about meeting online.
Can we do every session online from Brampton?
Yes. Nothing in the process needs a visit to the office, from the free call to the last session.
Is online counselling as private as coming in?
The confidentiality rules I follow as a registered psychotherapist are the same online and in the office. The bigger privacy question is usually at home, so pick a time when nobody else is around to hear.
