We understand that confronting issues is a difficult task, and it is common that you and your partner may feel uneasy about coming to counselling. Our couple's counsellors strive to create a non-judgmental, safe and neutral setting enabling you and your partner to discuss complex and sometimes very painful issues in a contained and constructive way.
Couples often find it easier to speak to each other in the presence of a therapist, and thereby discuss issues and topics that need to be addressed. Being able to let your guard down and feel safe with your partner opens the door for intimacy and reconnection to take place.
Our trained marriage and family therapists can help with:
- Marital dissatisfaction and malaise
- Marriage assessment – evaluating compatibility/incompatibility
