An integral part of marriage or couple counselling is creating a safe space where each of you can openly discuss how you are experiencing your marriage, your spouse, and yourself. 

Main Reason Couples Reach Out Counselling

My experience with couples has shown that “communication” is usually (not always) the primary reason couples seek counselling. However, couples can find resolutions to other challenges when communication is healthier. Hence, in my marriage and couple counselling approach, I focus on the communication model of the couple.

Communication problems are not uncommon in relationships, and it can be a challenge that many couples face. Various reasons can contribute to this issue, such as differences in communication styles, personal insecurities, or even personality types. Seeking professional counselling can provide valuable support and guidance in addressing and overcoming these communication issues in your relationship.

Communication Breakdown: What Now?

Are you and your partner constantly fighting with no hope of fixing your communication issues? Do you feel anxious whenever you need to discuss something with your partner, and no matter what you do, it always turns into a big issue? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Communication challenges in relationships can be distressing, but there is hope for positive change.

Some Benefits of Marriage and Couple Counselling

You don’t have to continue living in a state of constant conflict in your relationship or marriage. Instead of giving up, consider reaching out for help. Get the tools you two need to restore your connection and move forward harmoniously.

Don’t let communication challenges or unresolved issues hinder your relationship’s potential for growth and happiness.
