Frequently asked questions
Do both partners need to attend?
Couples work is most effective when both partners take part, but one partner may begin on their own.
Will the counsellor take sides?
No. Our role is to remain impartial and to help both partners be heard.
Is what I share kept confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is central to our practice. Information is shared only with your consent, or where the law requires disclosure to protect you or someone else from serious harm.
