A Marriage in Crisis
Are you struggling with loop arguments that never seem to get resolved? Are you both talking, but no one is listening? Do you feel lonely, sad or frustrated in your relationship? Ghita is here to help...
Challenging Behaviours When Things Get Hard
Often, couples come into counselling blaming one another for their difficulties. (It’s not unusual for couples to start arguing in front of the counsellor.) Subsequently, couples counsellors are not passive. Ghita will intervene to focus the session on insight and action. For you and your partner, this often involves letting go of fixed perspectives and stepping back to see the process of how you interact.
Importantly, Couples counselling is not a place to avoid emotions - so it is not a place for someone with anger issues or addictions. Ghita is there to help you to explore your feelings and to find different perspectives to make better decisions on what you are able and willing to change. It is guaranteed that you will be challenged and triggered at some point.
Options for a Marriage in Crisis:
Regular Sessions: Book in for two hour sessions and make them consecutive until you have worked through your issues.
Fast Tracked Therapy:
Package Four: Intensive One Day Couples in Crisis Retreat
Couples counselling crisis retreats are intensive therapy sessions that help couples rebuild and repair their relationships. These retreats can help couples reduce distress, improve communication, and increase relationship satisfaction.
Package Five: Intensive Two Day Couples in Crisis Marathon
A two day retreat is a DEEP DIVE into the factors causing conflict or disharmony in communication etc. These retreats can help couples reduce distress, improve communication, and increase relationship satisfaction.

Endings and Closure:
Sometimes, as a result of couples counselling clients decide to end their relationship. However, if your counsellor recommends that you separate, please understand that they don’t say it lightly. It is not something that they will say unless they are sure that it is more damaging to continue. If you feel that there is an error, you are entitled to a second opinion and are welcome to try another service.

Couples therapy usually doesn’t work when there is:
- A history of abuse or domestic violence between partners (can include emotional, physical, financial, serious verbal or sexual abuse). If your relationship is abusive or one party has an addiction, then we recommend Individual Counselling instead. Is my Relationship Toxic?
- Individual trauma from childhood creating triggers. Active or untreated mental illness or addiction with one (or both) partners. (Recommend individual therapy before couples therapy)
- Active Affair: One or both parties are engaged in infidelity and lack the motivation to give those outside relationships up for the good of the primary relationship.
- One or both parties have already made the decision to separate or divorce.
