Couples Marriage Counselling Melbourne | South Yarra

Couples Counselling Relationship counselling, psychology and psychotherapy services are offered for couples at the Centre for Emotion Focused Practice. These services are underpinned by person-centred, existential and humanistic philosophies, utilising process experiential emotion focused techniques.

Good relationships provide solid foundations for life fulfilment, happiness and wellbeing. Relationship and intimacy issues can be addressed through counselling, achieving a deeper understanding, clarification and resolve. Individuals’ views, needs and feelings can be expressed and processed, and particular issues can be targeted and explored in a safe, non-judgmental, facilitated environment. Couples marriage counselling Melbourne can lead to greater authenticity and stronger relationship bonds, or can facilitate a smoother experience of ending the relationship if this is what one or both partners are wanting. Sometimes partners can forget the reasons why they chose each other or relationships can just get ‘stuck’ and require some professional assistance with their relationship problems to get things moving along again in a positive direction. Our marriage counsellors South Yarra helps couples address issues in their relationship and rectify them.

The Centre for Emotion Focused Practice is a safe, secure, and ethical place for couples to work together to explore their emotions and forge out an effective, and long lasting change. The centre’s therapists are all fully qualified and strive for empathy, genuineness, respect and a positive working alliance which has shown to be the best predictor of a curative outcome. Our practitioners are relationship focused and affirming of each member of the couple’s needs, beliefs, values, feelings, and natural tendencies towards growth and healing.
