Preparing For Marriage Together
Premarital counselling is a strengths-based opportunity to explore the qualities of your relationship and how your individual differences and similarities combine to be complementary. It can also be helpful in identifying and working on possible areas of conflict.
Pre-marriage counselling focuses on the aspects of your relationship that make it unique.
Pre-marriage counselling is tailored to meet your individual needs and goals and can be used to strengthen communication or conflict resolution skills, deepen and enhance intimacy or understand how your individual personalities and history come together.
It is an opportunity to learn about the latest research into skills and relationship behaviours that create strong relationships and marriages.
With over 15 years experience working with couples at all stages of their relationship, I have seen how valuable premarriage counselling is.
