Couple Counselling

Often during the course of a relationship couples start to feel disconnected. They may start arguing frequently and spend longer periods away from the family and each other as a way of dealing with the conflict.

Couples often talk without hearing or understanding each other and start to feel a sense of despair and frustration as each time they try and resolve their issues it leads to more misunderstandings and arguments.

There can also be a range of outside pressures that cause a couple to experience relationship stress including:

- the birth of a baby

- financial stress

- when one partner works away i.e. fly in fly out

- infidelity or affairs

- step-parenting and/or dealing with ex-partners.

Couple counselling provides a space where each person can talk and start to feel listened to. It is a place to reconnect with each other and to sort out issues without the fear of it turning into another fight. A large part of couple counselling is learning skills to respectfully resolve conflict and communicate with each other in a way that brings you closer together.
