Is couples counselling right for us?

The relationship with your partner is one of the most important relationships in your life, so if things aren’t right it can turn your life upside down. You may have been trying to work it out yourselves, but the same issues keep coming up and you’re stuck on repeat.

Specialised relationship counselling is important to assist you in confronting relationship issues. You can learn how to have positive experiences in expressing concerns, feel accepted and understood by your partner. Working with a relationship counsellor gives couples a more grounded and balanced view of their concerns in the relationship and the relationship with themselves.

Depending on your needs as a couple, you can attend weekly sessions to begin with, then go into fortnightly sessions until you have reached your desired outcome. Individual counselling sessions are often recommended for each partner in between their couples counselling sessions.

What clients have to say

We highly recommend Linda. She is warm and understanding and made herself extremely relatable which in turn gave us the comfort to fully invest in our couples counselling sessions. Linda really helped us address our key issues and gave us the tools to be able to work on them moving forward together. I really mean it when I say, Linda saved our marriage. We are forever grateful for her.”

“We cannot speak highly enough of Linda and her knowledgeable guidance. Not only was it a rewarding experience for us as a couple, but also as individuals. She guided us through an effortless process beginning with exploring our origins, which has helped us to better understand ourselves and each other. It has been a fantastic check-in to gain perspective on where we were in our lives, and where we wanted to be. She showed us how easy it is to build the language around respectful communication and how to share our feelings and needs with each other.”

“My first session I was very anxious, but Linda made me feel comfortable so I could open up and talk about the things that were going on in my life. Making an appointment with Linda was the best thing I could have done for myself. Continual therapy with Linda is helping me change my life for the better.”

“I am very happy I saw Linda, as she helped me recognise some unhealthy patterns I’ve let myself fall into and to look out for warning signs of certain issues. Also, she was very clear about who/what I am dealing with in my ex-partner, in terms of his narcissism, so that I can take a realistic and strategic approach to dealing with him in future, and to change my expectations (which were always being disappointed). I feel more confident now about how to handle certain situations and what my priorities should be.”

“We found Linda’s Couples Counselling invaluable in assisting us to restore emotional intimacy in our relationship. Her ability to navigate through emotionally raw issues in a balanced and considered way was outstanding. We thoroughly recommend her services to other couples seeking relationship counselling.”
