Online Expert Relationship Counselling
Professional and private relationship counselling, online via telehealth.
No relationship is perfect. Often, we find that situations arise where small, unchecked relationship issues can evolve into much deeper and difficult to overcome problems. Seeking relationship advice early can prevent these issues from escalating.
Online relationship counselling provides a safe, supportive and collaborative environment where both partners can openly discuss problems in their relationship and highlight what is important to them.
Whether you're looking for couples counselling to rebuild trust or seeking marriage counselling to strengthen your eternal bond, professional guidance can make a significant difference.
The process of relationship counselling online involves meeting with a professionally trained psychologist to facilitate and navigate the complexities of a relationship.
The counselling is provided in an empathetic, non-judgemental and neutral manner.
We’ve seen many couples leave relationship counselling sessions thankful and appreciative for the guidance and support and going on to have a much happier and healthy relationships.
Incredibly – research has shown that relationship counselling has a success rate of around 70%, and whilst some relationships may not work out, evidence suggests that couples counselling can significantly improve relationship satisfaction and communication.
What to expect from online relationship counselling?
In your first session of relationship counselling, your professional psychologist will take the time to understand you, your partner, and your relationship dynamics.
In a completely non-confrontational and unbiased way, your counsellor will aim to form an understanding of what has brought you to seek relationship advice and how they can best support you.
In some cases, one partner may feel content with the relationship and reluctant to confront any issues. This is a completely normal response and can be addressed in a constructive way.
Once the initial foundations have been built, you will work together with your psychologist to develop relationship goals and build strategies for more positive interactions. You may be given tasks to complete at home, or discuss situations in a calm and non-confrontational manner – where both parties can safely and openly express themselves.
Online couples counselling isn’t just a “venting” session; it’s a place where relationship burdens can be deconstructed and lifted.
