Premarriage Counselling
Any major transition in life benefits from thought and preparation.
When a couple makes the decision to arrange a wedding or a civil partnership, premarital counselling can help them explore their expectations, their plans for the future, and what might be involved when sharing their lives together. Individual styles of relating, which are often based on past family and life experiences, can be explored and understood. The counselling may include identifying the particular elements that their relationship needs to flourish and succeed, and how they will accept and manage their differences.
With the aim of creating a healthy, trusting and secure base to the relationship, our counsellors sensitively offer couples the opportunity to discuss and examine their shared intentions as well as their personal needs, hopes and longings. Finding mutual agreement on important values and principles can help avoid many pitfalls.
Working collaboratively with the counsellor, the couple can consider their attitudes to a variety of important topics:
- Communication
- Decision making
- Beliefs and values
- Sex and affection
- Finances
- Differences and disagreement
- Conflict and managing anger
- Children and parenting
- Family relationships
