Seven pillars that contribute to our total emotional well-being and happiness. The foundation of holistic counselling.
Marriage Counselling
Marriages are extremely intricate when love is entwined with conflict, disappointment, or unfaithfulness. This is difficult to overcome, but it is possible when working with me.
Individual Sessions are strongly advised for marriages with high conflict and excessive discontent, because joint sessions have a low success rate in restoring stability and calm.
Joint Sessions on the other hand, are perfect for overall marital wellness since we cover a wide variety of topics assisting in improved communication, developing a stronger emotional connection, and dealing with trust-related difficulties.

The Holistic Marriage Wellness
Let's go over some typical issues I have discovered to give you a sense of what to anticipate during a counselling session.
Resolving Conflict
There are numerous reasons why there is tension in a marriage, and it usually involves a chain of events. On the other side, there are a few everyday mistakes we do that can worsen the problem.
One of the important components is poor communication skills, which most of us struggle with. Learning better communication skills with me will not only lessen conflict, but also improve human interaction and connection.
Unmet emotional needs are another contributing element towards conflict. This is something we will work on together, and I will teach you how to take care of each other's emotional needs and which ones are most important to your marriage.
Infidelity
With Regards to emotional upheaval caused by infidelity, recovery will not be easy for either way. Relationships are complex, with numerous elements to consider.
Yes, it is possible to repair a broken relationship, seeing both of you individually for talk therapy to manage conflict or verbally express emotional distress is a starting point. Joint session doesn’t work in this case.
Secondly, based on my experience working through infidelity, it usually takes 12 months before we notice anything constructive. It will be an emotional rollercoaster for a time, but perseverance pays reward.
Marriage Wellness
Lastly, holistic marriage wellness doesn’t only deal with immediate problems, but also looks at your overall marriage wellness. How we achieve this is by enhancing your overall emotional intelligence. A modern way to overall wellbeing.
To achieve this, interactive learning mixed with talk therapy has proven to be quite successful for long-term marital goals. This is where we learn how to communicate more effectively, form stronger emotional attachments, and, most importantly, overcome difficulties with trust.
Finally, improving your emotional intelligence can be extremely beneficial to you, both in the short and long term.
Lastly, this is just a general overview of what to anticipate from a marriage counselling session with me.
