Professional Couples & Marriage Counselling in Perth

There is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ relationship and in fact, ‘imperfect’ relationships can still bring joy and contentment to our lives. However, there are times when the troubles in our relationship begin to negatively impact our own wellbeing, our partner’s wellbeing and maybe even our children. This is why the team at Perth Psychology Collective are proud to offer effective couples counselling to those people who wish to work on and overcome their relationship difficulties.

Using evidence-based techniques, we lead with compassion and empathy with the aim to increase your understanding of yourself and your partner, improve your ability to communicate with one another and establish healthier ways of relating and managing conflict. There is no problem too big or too small for relationship counselling – if you are willing to work on it, we are willing to help.

What exactly is marriage and couples counselling?

Marriage or couples counselling is a therapeutic approach to helping partners overcome the unique issues that are affecting their relationship. Similar to personal counselling, this involves the couple meeting with a psychologist to talk about their experiences within the relationship and the challenges they are facing.

In most cases, a therapist will work with you and your partner towards one or more ‘goals’ – for example, regaining trust or learning how to communicate in a healthy way. Over time, the aim is to help couples learn effective tools such as how to communicate better, navigate personal differences and how to approach conflict in a healthy way.
