Marriage counselling
Marriage counselling is different to relationship coaching.
Happy and Healthy Relationships offer a refreshing alternative to marriage counselling.
Many of our clients have tried marriage counselling and report feeling disillusioned with the experience. They often say that in the marriage counselling sessions: ‘we just went round and round in circles focusing on the problems and never got anywhere’, or ‘the marriage counsellor took my partner’s side and blamed me for all the problems’, or worse ‘the counsellor told us we would be better off just breaking up’.
Of course not all marriage counsellors are guilty of this, some are very effective, but the differences between relationship coaching and marriage counselling can be significant.
We believe that if couples seek help, they do not want to break up. We believe they want to find a way to stop going around in circles with their arguments and feelings of discontent.
