Couples Counselling

Divorce is all too often one of the most expensive times in our life. However, research shows with the proper therapy and a trained clinical counsellor, couples can achieve long lasting positive results that can make an enormous difference in the connection couples share. Couples counselling is extremely satisfying as the effort put into a relationship brings rewards that can be life lasting. However, there may be times to consider leaving your relationship when violence or sexual abuse is involved. It is important to have the support of a trained clinical counsellor during this process.
