Couples Counselling

Never been to a couples counselling session before? That’s okay. Our counselling sessions are a place of understanding and calmness. Our ultimate goal is to get your partnership working again. Attending counselling sessions with an open mind and a willingness to work with your loved one is the key to a successful counselling session.

At your initial sessions, it is recommended that you attend with your partner as a couple; this helps us get a clear idea about you and your partner as a team and your correlation as a whole. We aim to get you to a point where you are at ease and comfortable to discuss issues within your relationship.

After your initial appointments, you may like to book a personal appointment with the counsellor to work through your personal issues with your relationship, before again seeing your counsellor as a couple.

What to Expect in Counselling

Many people don’t spend a lot of time with a counsellor so it is natural to be apprehensive about the counselling process. Here’s some of what you can expect in a marriage counselling session with SHYNE Wellness:

• We’ll ask you about your current problems and issues that you are facing in your relationship. It’s a basic question that tells us a lot.
• We’ll ask you about the history of your relationship so that we can see your initial attraction to each other and what your relationship was like in the past.
• We’ll ask you about any individual historical issues that not only affected your life but may be leading to the issues impacting your relationship.
• We’ll look for your strengths as a couple – the things that work well and that you can use to build your relationship up again.
• We’ll ask you about the type of relationship you desire, how you feel, what you want, and what you don’t want.

Most people seek a marriage counselling session because their relationship isn’t fulfilling, or they are unhappy and no longer feel satisfied with where their relationship is heading. The earlier you seek intervention and support, the more chance you have of your marriage surviving.

Benefits of Marriage Counselling

We all love to be in relationships that just work. But they aren’t easy and they do take some maintenance. Many couples find benefits in counselling and therapy, even if there are no major issues with their marriage.

The biggest source of issues within relationships? Communication. Many people don’t know how to communicate what they feel, want, and need. Often we are taught to not communicate our feelings, wants, and needs. If this is you, and you’re finding it difficult to communicate with your loved one, we can help.

What Benefits Can You Expect To See From Relationship And Marriage Counselling?

• Improved communication between parties
• Regaining the intimacy and connection you once had
• Ability to renegotiate on commitments
• Ability to make decisions jointly
• Build self-esteem
• Improve mental health
• Ability to build a happy and successful family
• A strengthening of the bonds between your partner and yourself

Why Use a Marriage and Relationship Counsellor?

Often, it is one party who gets the other to agree to marriage and relationship counselling. Making that first appointment can be the hardest step. At SHYNE Wellness in Melbourne, we are friendly and welcoming, which allows you to be more open as to why you need a relationship and marriage counsellor.

Improving Communication

Relationships are made up of individuals who each have their own history, personality, and desires. There are very few couples who agree on every issue that arises, so being able to have an effective relationship relies on four things – discussion, compromise, negotiation, and communication.

Not being able to effectively communicate with your partner may not be a result of the relationship itself but rather the individual person finding it hard to communicate. Counselling can assist you in finding healthy ways to communicate your needs to your partner.

Connecting Emotionally and Intimately

Sometimes issues within couples can come down to emotion and intimacy. The “honeymoon period” eventually wears off in every relationship, and combined with how hectic life can be, we soon start to lose our emotional and intimate connections with our partners.

Unfortunately, this means that one partner is often left feeling the loss of emotion and intimacy more than the other, and without those communication skills, it is hard to convey what we need from the relationship.

Our counsellor can help you through a period of discord, and gain an understanding of where each person in the relationship is sitting. We can help you understand how each other works and how to carve out time for yourself as well as for your loved one.

Meeting Expectations

Everyone has expectations when they enter a relationship, whether it is to have someone support them through their career or the expectation of keeping commitments to starting a family. Commitment is hard and is one area many couples feel they need to work on.

SHYNE Wellness can help you with working through the type of commitment you require from your partner to make your relationship work, including:

• Commitment to the relationship
• Commitment to starting and raising a family
• Commitment to providing support for a particular career path
• Commitment to supporting each other and working as a team

Are You Being Heard?

One of the hardest parts of a relationship is feeling that your needs are not being heard. If you need help getting your partner to understand your needs, marriage counselling is a good first step for couples.

The friendly and professional team at SHYNE Wellness can help you learn how to communicate and connect, as well as how to understand your partner’s needs as well as your own.

Why Choose Counsellors and Life Coaches for Your Relationship Therapy?

When couples in Melbourne seek support to enhance their relationship, the choice between counsellor and a life coach is crucial. At SHYNE Wellness, we believe that counsellors and life coaches offer distinct advantages tailored to the specific needs of couples looking to improve their relationship health.

• Focused on Present Solutions, Not Just Past Problems: Unlike traditional counselling services in Melbourne, which often delve deep into the personal histories of individuals, our counsellor and life coach concentrates on the present dynamics between partners.This health-focused approach helps couples find immediate, practical solutions and strategies to improve their interactions and mutual understanding, making therapy more relevant and actionable for daily life. By sidestepping the deep historical analyses, we prioritize the health and vitality of relationships here and now.
• Goal-Oriented and Future-Focused: A life coach excels in setting clear, achievable goals for couples. This forward-thinking approach ensures that every session contributes directly to building a healthier and more satisfying future together. Instead of focusing extensively on diagnosing or treating emotional disorders, our services emphasize personal growth and relationship enhancement.
• Collaborative and Inclusive Therapy Methods: Counsellors and life coaches work by facilitating open, honest communication between a couple. This creates a more inclusive and collaborative environment, where both members of the couple actively participate in shaping their relationship’s path forward. This contrasts with some other modalities and it may focus more heavily on individual sessions and insights.
• Accessible and Relatable: Many couples find that talking to a counsellor or life coach feels more like engaging in a guided conversation than undergoing a clinical assessment. This can reduce the intimidation and stigma sometimes associated with talking to a counselor, making it easier for both partners to engage openly and honestly in the therapy process.
• Tailored Services Right Here in Melbourne:  Located conveniently in Melbourne, our services are designed with the local community in mind. Understanding the unique lifestyles and challenges faced by Melbourne couples allows our team to provide more relevant and effective support.

Choosing the right type of marriage counselling or therapy can profoundly impact your relationship’s success. At SHYNE Wellness, our counsellor and life coach is dedicated to providing you with compassionate, effective, and proactive support that fosters significant positive changes in your relationship.
