Couples Counselling

Are you preparing to move in together? Perhaps you’re getting married? Children changing your daily
experience of love and intimacy between you and your partner?

The average time before a couple decides to seek help is approximately SIX YEARS. That’s a long time to
recover from, so early intervention and support is a really important step towards maintaining a functioning
and healthy relationship.

Linda has been involved in the lives of couples across a range of settings and circumstances including marriage
preparation, officiating at weddings, supporting couples and families during separation, illness, divorce and death.

Couples Therapy can help in identifying strengths and weaknesses in communication; can offer understanding and tools to develop better communication and shared goals and mediate the tricky waters of conflict management.

When couples separate or divorce, therapy can also assist in achieving healthier communication and best-care for the family.

Relationships are challenging enough without the added pressures of FIFO work, military deployments, blue light services and the effects on individuals as well as families.

As an RAF Veteran, Linda understands the pressures associated with military service, the demands on Defence Force personnel and families, as well as emergency and front-line services including FIFO.

Using the Gottman Institute* framework where possible, tools and tips are also provided for client understanding and growth during the process.
