What Is Marriage & Relationship Counselling?

Relationship counselling is a type of therapy that couples or individuals seek when some issues are developing within their relationship. Each of our marriage counsellors can help to recognise and resolve conflicts. This will improve the couple’s communication skills, each partner’s well-being, their overall relationship and their interactions as a couple.

Marriage counselling can help at any stage of a couple’s relationship, whether it is at the beginning, pre-marriage, or if the two partners have been together for decades.

Often Couples start counselling in a moment of crisis or when they are considering divorce or separation. However, many couples use the therapy as a holding and reflective space where they can focus on the quality of their relationship, love and interactions,

A Mutual Commitment to Couples Therapy

It’s not out of the ordinary for one partner in a relationship to be more committed than the other to engage in Marriage Counselling. It is for this reason that your first session will act as an opportunity for you both to be reassured of the positive aspects that the therapy can bring.

Focusing on the positive aspects of communicating, listening and understanding, your first session will give you a sense of just how safe the environment that you’re sharing is.

A mutual commitment to marriage counselling is the ideal grounding for you and your partner to start working towards a more fulfilling and meaningful relationship. So, for the best results, you both need to throw yourselves into the counselling wholeheartedly.

Marriage Counselling Online

Many of our clients benefit from using our online marriage counselling service. Each couple will have their preference to online or face-to-face work based on multiple factors. It could be that after a recent argument, you are unable to attend the usual face-to-face session together, and one of you attends online or maybe schedules and work commitments make online work the most viable option.

Marriage Counselling FAQs

We have a date for our wedding, but we are fighting a lot and are unsure whether we want to marry now. Can you help?

Weddings can be a hard and pressuring time in a relationship for both partners. Marriage counselling can offer a couple the opportunity to take the time to openly talk about any issues they may be experiencing in their relationship or with the wedding and discuss how both partners feel.

Marriage counselling can help couples – with the help of the therapist – decide on how to move forward in a realistic way that values both as individuals and the pair as a married couple.

They can help with marriage issues, including infertility, intercultural relationships, conflict, depression, gender identity, bereavement, and adoption and fostering.

We are struggling with communication. Is that normal? Do we need marriage counselling?

Many miscommunications in relationships will occur when we assume the other person knows how we feel without having told them. Communication and power struggles throughout the relationships is some of the most common issues experienced by couples.

Talking openly about what you need from the other person is essential to feeling comfortable and understanding each other’s wants and needs. Underlying mental health struggles can sometimes be discovered as the cause of communication issues. Therapy is suggested for couples struggling to communicate effectively.
