Marriage counselling is a form of relationship therapy that focuses specifically on married couples. Sessions aim to improve communication, reduce unhelpful conflict and strengthen emotional connection within the marriage.
Therapy may also support couples navigating challenges such as trust concerns, parenting disagreements, financial stress or intimacy difficulties. Our goal is to help you build healthier patterns that support a stronger relationship with your partner.
Divorce counselling
Divorce counselling supports couples who are exploring separation or navigating the divorce process. These sessions provide a structured and respectful space to discuss difficult topics, manage conflict, explore family dynamics and make informed decisions about the future.
For some couples, therapy helps create greater clarity around the relationship and the next steps forward. Where children are involved, counselling can also support more constructive conversations around co-parenting and family transitions.

Marathon couples therapy involves extended sessions, usually lasting between four and six hours. The additional time allows us to explore relationship challenges in greater depth without the interruptions that can occur across multiple shorter sessions.
This intensive format may help couples address longstanding relationship patterns, emotional injuries, infidelity or ongoing conflict that has become difficult to resolve through shorter sessions alone.
