Why Couples Counselling?
“Love makes the world go around.” When you first enter into a new relationship, you are filled with feelings of love and tenderness coupled with butterflies in your stomach. The thought of arguing with that person seems impossible…until it isn’t and becomes a reality. Choosing to be in a relationship has its fair deal of stress and, at times, can be difficult to deal with and overwhelmingly emotional. After the “honeymoon” phase of a relationship, reality sets in, whether it’s arguments, lack of communication, lack of fun, no passion or any other reason which cause relationships to fall apart. Couples Counselling provides couples with tools to improve communication, different ways of resolving conflict and a deeper understanding around issues.
What to Expect from Counselling?
Couples are required to attend therapy together. During therapy couples are provided with a safe space to communicate truthfully and honestly. Chael is a neutral participant in counselling and won’t provide instructions or judgement; the process and facilitation will provide you with tools to communicate and reach your own solutions.
