✅ Here's What Our Couples Had to Say...​
   ★★★★★ ​​5 Star Google Review: Five Week Package 2025: ​'Working with Ghita Anderson has been one of the most transformative and empowering experiences. We have completed both couples counselling and individual NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) therapy. This has helped me shift long-standing patterns and reconnect with a deep sense of clarity, confidence, and joy.

In our couples sessions, Ghita created a warm, safe space where we could both feel heard and supported. Her guidance helped us communicate more honestly, understand each other’s needs without judgment, and rebuild our connection from a place of empathy and trust. Our relationship now feels so much more grounded and open—we’re truly working as a team again.

Individually, Ghita used NLP therapy to help me identify and reframe deep-seated self-limiting beliefs that had been running in the background for years. With her support, I was able to shift those patterns in ways that felt natural and lasting. I now approach life with more self-belief, purpose, and ease. The change has been profound—not only internally, but in how I show up in the world.

What’s been especially meaningful is how others have noticed the shift. Friends, colleagues, and even strangers have commented on how happy and light I seem. I couldn’t recommend Ghita more highly.' - Alisa - Palm Beach
     ★★★★★ ​Marriage Pre-Marital Counselling Testimonial 2019: "We got married! Ghita, thank you so much for what you have done for our family!"  Mr & Mrs Lees (Currumbin). (Note: The Lees Family keep sending us referrals to this day!)
   ★★★★★ Testimonial Pre-Marital Agreement Counselling 2022
We should have done a pre-marital agreement long ago. I can see that now. I was of the mindset to leave, but the first hour turned it around for us. We negotiated our personal time and even had a contingency plan for when things went wrong. Our homework was to fill in a full agreement covering all the other points we did not cover in session and to stick this on the back of a cupboard door. We both agree this session was nothing like what we expected. Thank you Ghita. - Jessica & Andrew. (Hope Island Gold Coast)
   ​★★★★★ ​​5 Star Google Review: 5 Week Marriage Counselling: 2023: 
​Ghita provided real strategies that can be implemented to prevent conflict and more empathy within our relationships. We were able to be truthful and honest within ourselves from better self reflection and then she gave us the tools to be able to communicate our needs effectively. We both learnt how to actively listen to one another and remember the other person's needs are different. Ghita was absolutely warm and welcoming, would definitely recommend her intensive 3 Step Program, it has saved our marriage. - Nicole Eggleton (Coomera).
   ​★★★★★ ​​Feedback Testimonial Pre-Marital Agreement: 2022:
We had been to Couples Counselling before with another counsellor. We felt we were being sold a package last time rather than doing the work, so we did not achieve much.  I was convinced that we were separating and it was too late. This session was very different. Ghita nailed our problem and made us negotiate. After many years of arguing over the same thing, she showed us how to do deals. We should have done a pre-marital agreement long ago. I can see that now. I was of the mindset to leave, but one hour turned it around for us. We negotiated our personal time and even had a contingency plan for when things went wrong. Our homework was to fill in a full agreement covering all the other points we did not cover in session and to stick this on the back of a cupboard door. We both agree this session was nothing like what we expected. Thank you Ghita. - J & A Tovey. (Hope Island)
​✅ The ​Key Benefits of Couples CounsellingWhat are the Benefits of Pre-Marital Counselling?
In a nutshell, marital resilience. Many couples encounter some typical upsets during their engagement that simply require...
  • Learning better ways to talk about conflicts
  • Agreeing to call timeouts until you both can be more objective in solving problems
  • Making sure that you are “getting your partner” and vice versa
  • Appreciating your cultural differences
  • Grasping the best ways to deal with potential differing in-law expectations
  • Moving out of singlehood into habits that build secure marriages
Dealing with any concerns about
  • Verbal or physical abuse
  • Potential alcohol or drug abuse
  • Problematic withdrawal patterns.

Is Pre-Marital Counselling Common?
Yes, it has become a pivotal moment for couples moving in together and getting married in Australia. 
  • Marital research has shown a 30% lower rate of divorce in couples who have participated in pre-marital counselling and a strong marriage positively affects a person’s level of happiness, physical health and emotional well-being for years.
  • Further research suggests that it reduces things to fight about by 40%!

Certainly, marriage is a big investment (emotionally and financially), and failure comes at a high cost. 
Divorce Statistics Australia (2016 - Bureau of Statistics):
  • 1 in 3 marriages (40%) end in divorce in Australia. UK stats: 50%, USA 40%
  • The peak of the divorce rate was at 4 years 
  • 77% of couples co-habitate before marriage
  • Up to 65- 75% of second marriages end in divorce (And that does not include de Facto statistics which may be up to 85%)​​

✅ A Happy Marriage Builds Upon... (Gottman & Silver, 1999):
  • Friendship rather than fighting (Deep friendship is at the heart of the marriage).
  • Seeing the good in your partner (Giving them the benefit of the doubt)
  • High levels of trust and total commitment maintain the relationship.
  • Capacity to repair (A healthy companionship supports repair following disagreements and conflict).
  • Marriage purpose (A partnership has a purpose, where each supports the other’s hopes and dreams).

How Long Does it Take?
The average time couples spend in pre-marital counselling before getting married is 5-8 hours. 
​However, we have a five week package. During these sessions we uncover the unspoken issues and potential hurdles to a happy, united union. You can do this with package two listed below, or one hour at a time. 

Is This Course Suitable for Same Sex Couples?
Yes. All couples will find these negotiations prior to a wedding or moving in together helpful.
