Frequently Asked Questions

What if my partner doesn’t want to come to counselling?


You can start the process by having the consultation yourself. Often, when one partner takes the first step, it opens the door for more understanding, and your partner may eventually decide to join in.

Isn’t counselling just endless talking?


Not with us. Our sessions are structured and goal-oriented. Each session focuses on practical steps you can take right away to improve communication, reduce conflict, or rebuild trust. We don’t just talk—we take action.

How long before we see results?


Every couple is different, but many of our clients start to see improvements after just a few sessions. We focus on providing immediate, actionable strategies that lead to real changes early on.

What if I don’t want to dive into emotional stuff right away?


That’s okay. We’ll focus on practical solutions first—such as communication strategies or conflict resolution techniques—so you can see progress without feeling like you’re being pushed too deep into emotions from the start.

Is this confidential?


Absolutely. Everything discussed in our sessions stays between us. You’ll have a safe, private space to work on your relationship without worrying about judgment or privacy concerns.

How do I know if counselling is the right step?


If you’re tired of constant arguments, feeling disconnected, or unsure how to fix things, counselling can provide clarity and a path forward. It’s about taking that first step toward improving your relationship—and you can start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if it’s right for you.
