What We Offer

One of the few constants in the world is our basic human-need for a relationship based on trust, love, intimacy, loyalty, fidelity, committment, meaning and purpose. Surprisingly, few people know how to achieve this and all too frequently allow problems within the relationship to continue unresolved leading to relationship breakdown.

The services listed here will help you stop your relationship breakdown, and achieve the life and relationship you want to co-create with your partner.

Couples Counselling             

This is our primary service where we meet with couples to resolve the conflicts and areas of difficulties where people are stuck. Our aim is to assist in developing greater understanding and respect between couples while achieving greater affection, intimacy and closeness. Couples will learn communication, conflict resolution and relationship skills that are crafted to their unique relationship. These skills will equip couples to work together to resolve current and future problems and challenges thus leading to an enriched life together;

 
Individual Counselling           

Counselling can be of great benefit to the relationship when one person seeks assistance in understanding the relationship problems or one partner either refuses or is unable to attend. We often work with one partner to develop an understanding of the issues relevant to their relationship, to learn communication and conflict resolution skills as well as learning about intimacy, passion and love;

Intensive Relationship Counselling        

This is for couples wanting an intensive and focused effort that sticks to the process until reaching a mutually satisfying and agreeable point of resolution. This is very useful for couples who are in crisis and want to maintain the focus and energy to resolve serious issues quickly. The counselling sessions are longer, typically  three hours each meeting, and are held on two to three consecutive days;

 
Relationship Skills Weekend Workshop             

The power of togetherness. Here you will learn about that power while gaining skills and insights that will dramatically improve your relationship including how to resolve conflicts in a respectful, healthy and productive way. The program consists of lectures, group discussion and interaction along with demonstrations of relationship skills.

There will be the opportunity for participants to practice skills privately with a facilitator. The weekend allows couples to put into practice what they are learning and to apply these skills in their daily lives.

The weekend program assists couples with challenging relationship problems to improve the way they communicate with each other. Couples will learn effective ways of working together to resolve issues which have been causing conflict and pain in their relationship.

The workshops are delivered by two relationship counsellors to a group of 6-10 couples.

Couples will come away with:
*   A step-by-step method of handling difficult situations and conversations with less stress and more success;
*   Skills for managing strong emotions and difficult issues, staying on track and breaking the cycle of blame;
*   Insights into each person's unique coping styles of dealing with situations that become difficult;
*   Skills in how to overcome the fears that lead to a culture of avoidance within the relationship;

Although the workshop is in a group format, there is no requirement or expectations for couples to share any information that they do not wish to with other couples.
