Relationship Counselling
REBUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND RECONNECT WITH OUR SUPPORT
Being in a relationship with someone can be a wonderful thing that enriches life with love, joy and support. However, they are not always smooth sailing and it is natural for couples to experience both ups and downs.
At times, navigating challenges as a couple can feel impossible and conflicts, when unresolved, can lead to the dissolution of a once happy relationship. When saving the relationship and finding a way back to one another is important to both parties, couples counselling is recommended.
Supporting couples to learn how to manage conflict, improve their bond and create healthier communication habits, our counsellors in Melbourne give you the tools to achieve lasting happiness together.
This includes providing you with support and strategies for dealing with common relationship concerns such as:
- Communication issues (lack of communication, ineffective communication)
- Conflict resolution
- Infidelity
- Trust
- Starting a family
- Combining families (step-parenting, step-siblings)
- Intimacy (physical and emotional intimacy)
- Different desires and goals
- Resentment
- Parenting conflicts
- Separation/Divorce and more.
Importantly, investing in your relationship through therapy can be beneficial for couples at any stage of their relationship, whether dating, engaged, married, or in a long-term partnership. By improving communication, understanding and an awareness of your partner's needs, you are more likely to remain together and feel satisfied in your relationship.
Even where no obvious conflict is apparent and you have simply begun to drift apart, so long as you both are willing, it is possible to rediscover one another and enjoy a renewed, healthy and happy relationship.
