COUNSELLING SERVICES

We offer online counselling to help people address personal and life challenges. Our services cater to individuals, couples, including pre-marriage counselling.

Individual Counselling

Counselling areas include:

Marriage Counselling

Marriage counseling aims to foster open communication between partners. With both partners willingly participating and making positive changes, harmful patterns and resentments can be addressed, and trust can be rebuilt.

Every marriage encounters challenges or rough patches at some point, making marriage counselling necessary. Issues may stem from frequent disagreements, financial stress, differing values, or tensions with in-laws. More serious challenges like infidelity or unresolved recurring arguments can also arise.

Certain interpretations of biblical marriage principles often create expectations about how a spouse should behave, leading to feelings of anger, confusion, or depression when expectations aren't met.

Relationship issues can emerge at any stage—from dating to marriage or even separation—and addressing these problems promptly offers the best chance for resolution.

Signs that a marriage may be struggling include unhappiness, unresolved arguments, decreased time spent together, loss of affection, and infidelity.

Many couples delay seeking counselling, allowing problems and resentments to intensify. Prompt counselling can't solve every issue but can facilitate stronger communication and understanding between partners when sought early. Talking openly with an impartial professional can lead to a deeper appreciation of each other's needs and strengthen marriages.

Pre-Marriage Counselling

Pre-marriage counselling is valuable as it helps couples address potential issues before they become problematic in married life. While it doesn't guarantee a trouble-free marriage, counselling educates couples on how to effectively manage challenges. Couples often seek pre-marriage counselling when they recognise areas in their relationship causing difficulties.

Counselling explores gender differences, especially in communication, and their impact on marital dynamics. Key topics covered include understanding individual and gender differences, communication skills, marital expectations, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. Sometimes, individual counselling is recommended to address personal issues affecting the relationship.

We utilise Prepare-Enrich, a practical tool that identifies a couple's strengths and growth areas. It facilitates discussions on crucial topics such as family planning, finances, roles, sexual expectations, and parenting styles that are often overlooked before marriage. This preparation equips couples with communication tools and insights to navigate married life successfully.

Prepare-Enrich involves completing a detailed questionnaire whose results are analysed by the facilitator. The feedback report includes background information, personality assessments, and insights across various categories, aiding the couple and the counsellor in meaningful discussions.

In summary, Prepare-Enrich aims to enhance communication, boost confidence, deepen mutual understanding, and strengthen relationship foundations before marriage. It offers tailored courses for diverse couples, including those with children, cohabiting couples, and existing married couples.

MBTI® In Counselling

The MBTI assessment is widely used globally for various purposes including:

Taking the MBTI helps individuals and couples understand themselves, their partners, and others better. It's a self-reporting questionnaire that reveals your unique personality type, strengths, and areas for growth. This understanding enhances communication, decision-making, change management, stress management, and conflict resolution.

The MBTI identifies preferences in:

  • Focus of attention (Introversion or Extroversion)

  • Information gathering (Sensing or Intuition)

  • Decision-making (Thinking or Feeling)

  • Engagement with the external world (Perceiving or Judging)

Based on these preferences, it assigns a four-letter code (e.g., ESFJ) that represents your personality type. Reports based on this type detail unique aspects of your personality across various areas such as communication, decision-making, change management, and conflict resolution. Each report is customised to address specific goals and needs.
