Our ‘Family of Origin’ (the family we grew up in) shapes our view on relationships. Whether our parents were married, single or separated, we often notice and pick up unhealthy patterns of relating to those closest to us because it models what we experienced as children. Attending regular relationship therapy sessions may help you become aware of your early conditioning to initiate positive change.

The ‘perfect’ relationship often portrayed in fictional stories simply does not exist. Sadly, this expectation is perpetuated through social media, with many selectively sharing only the highlights of their relationships. When we compare our ‘real’ to someone else’s highlight reel, we can often worry that our relationship does not measure up. Our methods may help clients cultivate a consistently authentic relationship, both on and off-screen.

As we have discovered, parents play a crucial role in their children’s psycho-social development into adulthood. We aim to assist couples in establishing or rebuilding a solid foundation for their future generations to enjoy healthy relationships of their own. Building a strong relationship as a couple, allows you to create lasting positive impact for your family for many years to come.

Pre-marriage Counselling. Research shows there is great benefit in preparing for the marriage as well as the wedding, with newlyweds often experiencing challenges in their first year of marriage, unable to handle conflict and differences. Our therapy can help couples gain a clear understanding of the concept of marriage before saying “I do”. Our course has been recommended by the Professional Celebrants Association, approved by the Catholic Church, among others, and offers certification upon completion.

Couples Therapy. This course aims to address common issues that cause relationships to take strain over time. We utilise a method that places the couple in the driver’s seat of repairing their relationship to empower and contribute to long-lasting results.

Marathon Couples Therapy. This process allows couples to delve deeper and address concerns in a shorter period. The ‘marathon’ includes spending two days exclusively with each other at a selected resort under the guidance of our trained Gottman Method Couple’s Therapist.
