QUESTIONS?
Is relationship counselling worth it
Many couples find that talking to a person external to the relationship, who isn’t there to ‘take sides’ or judge you in any way can be extremely valuable. It’s so easy to get stuck in power struggles or problems that seem to go around and around for ever without a resolution. An experienced Cairns relationship counsellor can help you identify your patterns and provide tools to help you overcome them. You wouldn’t keep driving your car without getting regular services, counselling can be a bit like a service for your relationship- why not invest to make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible.
What do relationship counsellors do
During relationship counselling in Cairns or via zoom, you will discuss the strengths and challenges of your relationship. A couple counsellor can help you understand unhealthy patterns and learn strategies to change them, help you regain closeness and intimacy, talk about difficult stuff in a safe environment and support your relationship to thrive.
What questions do relationship counsellors in cairns ask
During relationship counselling, the topics of conversation will be led by the couple. Ella will always ask permission to ask certain questions and give the option to talk at whatever level you are comfortable. You will be asked about the strengths and challenges of your relationship and you will be asked what you would like to change in the relationship in order to be really fulfilled.
Does relationship therapy work

When coming for couples counselling, the relationship becomes the client. This means that Ella is not interested in who is ‘right or wrong’. The session is a time to explore how both people can get their needs met, and suggestions are delivered without blame or judgement.

How to choose a relationship counsellor

She has supported hundreds of couples over the last 6 years and has a wealth of experience with all sorts of issues and presentations. You can only know if the counsellor is a good fit for you by attending a session. There is no obligation to return after one session, but taking that first step for counselling shows that you value your relationship and are willing to work on it. |
Will counselling save my marriage
Couples come to counselling at different stages of distress. Many couples have attended relationship counselling Cairns and improved their relationship dramatically. For counselling to be effective, you need to be willing to do the work. You might see it like going to a personal trainer. They can suggest exercises and dietary changes- but it’s up to you to make those changes. Other couples may realise deep down that they are not really compatible any more, and use some counselling sessions to help them work out if there are things they are willing to work on and change. Other couples may use counselling to come to terms with the reality that the best thing for everyone would be to separate.
