Frequently Asked Questions
Do we really need couples counselling?
If you and your partner have been arguing more than usual, feeling disconnected, or struggling to communicate effectively, couples counselling can help. Counselling isn’t just for relationships in crisis—it’s also great for strengthening a partnership and preventing issues from becoming bigger problems.
What if my partner doesn’t want to come?
It’s common for one partner to feel unsure about counselling at first. If your partner is hesitant, consider starting the conversation by explaining how you feel and why you think counselling could help. Sometimes, it takes one person initiating for the other to become more open to the idea. And if they still aren’t ready, we can help guide you through that as well.
We’re too busy—how will we fit it in?
We understand how busy life can be, especially with family and work commitments. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments. We work around your schedule so that counselling fits into your life, not the other way around.
Will counselling make things worse?
Counselling is designed to help you work through challenges constructively, not to make things more difficult. It provides a neutral, supportive space where both partners can be heard, without judgement. Our goal is to help you resolve issues and feel closer, not create more conflict.
I’m not sure if I feel comfortable talking about personal issues. Will this work for me?
You’re not alone in feeling hesitant to open up. We create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. The focus is on practical tools and real-life solutions, so you won’t feel pressured to dive too deep if you’re not ready.
How long will it take to see results?
Every relationship is different, but many couples begin seeing improvements after just a few sessions. The key is consistency and a willingness to work on your relationship both inside and outside of counselling. Our sessions are focused on giving you practical strategies that you can implement right away.
Is everything confidential?
Absolutely. All conversations in our sessions are strictly confidential, and any information you share is kept private. You can feel safe knowing that what’s discussed in counselling stays in the counselling room.
How much does it cost? Are there any discounts?
We understand that cost can be a concern. That’s why we offer flexible payment options and often run promotions or discounts. Feel free to ask about any current offers or discounts when you book your session.
What happens during the first session?
In the first session, we’ll get to know you and your partner, talk about the issues you’ve been facing, and explore what you both want to achieve. The goal is to create a clear path forward and begin working on practical strategies to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your connection.
What if we’re not in a crisis? Is couples counselling still for us?
Absolutely. Couples counselling is beneficial whether you're working through specific challenges or just want to strengthen your relationship. It's not just for crisis situations—it can help prevent future problems and improve the overall health of your relationship.
