Relationship & Marriage Counselling

Seeking help for your relationship is no different to seeking help from a doctor when you have flu, or going to the dentist when you have toothache.

Most relationships go through ups and downs, but sometimes couples aren't able to negotiate their way around a certain issue in their relationship. A professional counsellor will help guide you through the issue to a mutually beneficial solution. 

Relationship counselling covers a wide range of issues including:

  • Abusive relationships
  • Communication
  • Conflict management
  • Differences in sexual needs
  • Finding time for each other
  • Grief counselling
  • Infidelity
  • Marriage enrichment
  • Parent vs spouse roles
  • Parenting in a relationship
  • Preparing for a relationship
  • Stress management
  • Trauma counselling

Desire Discrepancy

Desire Discrepancy results when one person in a couple wants to have sex more often than the other person.

A person who has a low sex drive will often experience desire discrepancy in their relationships. Desire Discrepancy can cause tension and resentment within the relationship, and it is vital that the couple seeks help from a therapist. Desire Discrepancy affects the whole relationship, not just the intimacy, and you and your partner will have to work hard to rebuild all these aspects.

Desire Discrepancy often leads to the Pursuer/Distancer Cycle forming within a relationship.

Affairs bring out emotions like anger, denial, grief, resentment and lead to a loss of self-esteem. If you have been the victim or instigator of an affair, remember, you are not alone! There are always two sides to the story and a lot of emotional baggage to deal with after an affair.

Infertility & Pregnancy Issues

The following information was summarised from http://www.babycenter.com/:

Fertility problems may be caused by problems with either the man or woman in the relationship. However, infertility may also be related to multiple factors involving both partners, or other unexplained causes.
If a woman has had regular, unprotected sex for more than a year (or six months if she’s over 35) without conceiving, she should consult a doctor. It is important to note that nearly 90 percent of infertility problems can be successfully treated.
