Couples Counselling

I believe that healthy relationships are crucial to our emotional wellbeing. In couples counselling, your relationship takes front and centre stage. Couples Counselling is dedicated time, set aside regularly to focus on your relationship needs.

Pre-Marital Counselling

Are you considering marriage or engaged to be married?

Pre-marital counselling is the best wedding gift you can give yourself and your partner. This is a fun, intimate and engaging experience to strengthen what you already have and bring to light any issues that may hinder your relationship.  

We get to challenge historical generational scripts that have been handed down and get to write your own love story. We get to hand over a legacy of love and healthy relationships to the next generation. Some of the issues we tackle are:

  • Your personal history and how this impacts your relationship now

  • Effective Communication

  • How to handle Conflict

  • Emotional & Sexual Intimacy - how to keep love alive

  • Attitudes to Money & Spending

  • Managing transitions into parenting

  • Dealing with the in-laws, and extended families

  • Handling the stress of wedding planning

  • Spirituality, Beliefs & Value Systems

  • Gender Roles

Mixed Race/Mixed Culture Couples

I offer a space for us to unpack issues that may arise due to different cultural and racial backgrounds. As well as the usual issues we look at in couples counselling, we also delve into:

  • Parenting mixed-race children

  • Dealing with ostracization from families for marrying outside of your race, culture, or religion

  • How to support your partner and or children when racism or micro-aggressions occur

  • Creating your own family culture

  • Racial-identity issues

  • Enjoying the best of both worlds
