Singles

None of us are ever taught how to be in a relationship in a healthy and sustainable way.  We have to learn how to be ourselves and to bring that self into a partnership with one other person.

Pre-marriage Counselling

These sessions involve discussion on values, attitudes to family, finance and work, relationship needs and wants, communication styles, attitudes to conflict and resolution.

Couples Therapy

At Creative Counsel our goal is to assist you to create possibilities for change and growth in intimate relationships. We offer practical methods to help you calm your emotional reactivity, bridge distance that may have grown between you, and interact in new ways that are more effective, productive, and fulfilling.

Couples counseling will help you understand more deeply how to communicate with your partner in a constructive way that can minimise defensiveness and counterargument, bring you closer together and build a more positive experience as a couple. We see hetrosexual and same sex couples at all stages of relationship - dating, engaged, cohabitating or married

Divorce Coaching

Divorce/separation is painful but it doesn’t have to be a bloody war.

When you have children, you will always be in a relationship with your ex, even after divorce. How do you manage the hurt, the anger and disappointment and cope with the frustrations of an ongoing relationship with someone you can no longer live with, but whom your children can’t live without? How do you and your child/children deal with shared custody, visitations, Christmas, birthdays, ex in-laws, and his or her new partner?

And when there are no children, the feelings, the problems establishing new lives, may be different but just as heartbreaking and difficult. Property division, pet custody, managing the changes to relationships with friends, in-laws and others you and your partner have been involved with throughout your life together, need to be accomplished without creating more harm and ill will. 

 This is a supportive, practical and solution focused approach that can help you get through this very challenging transition, consciously and creatively.
