• COMMUNICATION : While relationships are often formed and solidified by trust and openness, these two can be challenged as couples or involved parties in the relationship gradually understand each other better. This can create a disconnect and therein distance between the couples paving the way for bigger issues. The counselling sessions will help restore the communication and improve intimacy again.

​

• STRENTHENING BOND :  Seeing a counsellor helps all parties to have a better understanding of self and the others in the relationship. Through the aid of the counsellor, they learn how to express their feelings while bringing everyone together thus strengthening their bonds.

​

• BUILD SELF ESTEEM : On the major relationship, counselling benefits are building self-esteem. If a person does not have a better understanding and appreciation of self, they are less likely to understand and appreciate others.

​

•  DEALING WITH DIVORCE : In family relationships as well as romantic relationships, a disconnect and discord will often be what tears them apart. Divorce is a sad outcome that most counsellors do their best to help couples and families to avoid. However, some couples are often too quick to go the divorce route seeing it as a faster and simpler solution to avoid the problems they face in their relationship. What they often fail to understand is that their actions that are fueling the disconnect led to the divorce. The relationship counselling benefits include trying to prevent families and couples from such heartbreaking outcomes. The counsellor helps them to resolve their issues and promote healing thus strengthening the relations between the couples and the family unit.                                                                                              Sometimes, divorce may also be a suitable solution to the issues at hand, but only if the counsellor deems this a safe route for the couples and usually will be when partners are not wanting to address the issues anymore. In this instance, the counselor will help there be mutual understanding between the two even as they part way to ensure there is peace and harmony especially if there are children involved.

​

• NEGOTIATIE AND REESTABLISH COMMITMENT : The counsellor helps each understand what being committed actually means to them and their spouse and how vague commitment affects their relationship. During the session, each person is allowed to air their fears and concerns as well as wishes. They are helping to negotiate responsibilities that arise due to making commitments for the good of the relationship. Doing this helps couples to have a better approach to reaching clear and workable agreements on all issues they face, together.

​

• MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH : A happy person is often of good health, physically and mentally. That is one of the issues that the relationship therapist and counsellor strives to achieve in each individual; to have a person of good mental and physical health through addressing the relationship issues. Such an individual will often be at peace, and this stems from having a good understanding of the other person in the relationship and through addressing issues as they arise. It starts there, at a personal level and then transcends to others around you. The counsellor will offer professional facilitations that help both members in the relationship to understand each other thus being in a better position to identify particular problems, personal and in the other, and how to practically handle them.
