Marriage and Couples Counselling​

​

Our experiences change us as we navigate through our lives. People may change their careers, values, and interests and grow as individuals. If partners struggle to adapt to these changes, we often find increased conflict and misunderstanding. 

Couples may have experienced a significant life event and find it difficult to reconnect with each other.

 

Our counsellors provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment to assist our clients in understanding the contributions to relationship breakdowns and creating supportive strategies to work through them.

Relationship counselling focuses on all relationships, including couples, families and marriage.

Couple Counselling for FIFO Workers

Counselling can be a valuable support for couples navigating the unique challenges of FIFO (Fly-In, Fly-Out) work. The lifestyle often brings extended periods of separation, communication difficulties, and feelings of disconnection or loneliness. Counselling provides a safe space for couples to strengthen their communication, manage expectations, and develop strategies to maintain emotional closeness despite physical distance. By addressing concerns such as trust, intimacy, and work-life balance, couples can build resilience and foster a stronger, more connected relationship.

Blended Families and Step-families 

Counselling can provide essential support for blended families adjusting after divorce or separation. Navigating new family dynamics, co-parenting challenges, and differing parenting styles can be complex and emotionally taxing. Counselling offers a safe space to foster open communication, set healthy boundaries, and build mutual understanding between family members. It also helps children and adults process emotions, ease transitions, and strengthen relationships, creating a more harmonious and supportive family environment.

​

Divorce and Separation

Counselling can be a valuable support system for individuals considering divorce and separation. It provides a safe and non-judgmental space to process emotions such as grief, anger, guilt, or confusion while helping individuals navigate the challenges of ending a relationship. A professional counsellor can offer coping strategies, improve communication skills, and assist in making informed decisions about financial and co-parenting matters. Counselling also helps individuals rebuild self-esteem, manage stress, and adapt to new life circumstances, promoting emotional healing and personal growth during this challenging transition.

How Does Couple Counselling Work?

The aim of relationship or couple counselling is to identify the couple's goals and patterns of conflict and find ways of communicating and supporting each other.
Couples have a space to reflect on their thoughts and feelings. Couples counselling allows individuals to understand their and their partners' experiences better.
