Pre-
marital
&
marital
therapy aims to help couples to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and one another in order to improve communication and connectedness.
Life is full of highs and lows. While we may need very little help to maneuver through the highs, there are certain lows that may leave us feeling "stuck", "tired", or just plain "drained". The goal of therapy is to provide clients with a safe place where they can explore and process their thoughts and emotions in an effort to work through challenging issues in a fully confidential and non-judgemental environment. As a result, clients are able to heal from the issues that are holding them back, and they can begin to thrive with more ease. Life's lows become more manageable and less bothersome. Life's highs become more enjoyable!

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
