Discernment Counselling
​Relationship Uncertainty
When couples find themselves uncertain about their future together, Discernment Counselling Services offer a structured approach to openly discuss their feelings, fears, and hopes. These sessions provide a safe space for honest conversations, helping couples communicate effectively and make well-considered decisions about their relationship.
Support for Couples Considering Separation or Divorce
Discernment counselling provides a neutral, secure environment to process your feelings and options when contemplating separation or divorce. We prioritize creating a space where partners feel emotionally protected and can build mutual trust, which are key elements for resolving conflicts and developing understanding.
​
Our approach aims to:
​
-
Create a safe space for honest discussions
-
Nurture trust to improve mutual comprehension
-
Foster empathy to better grasp each other's viewpoints
Exploring Reasons for Staying or Leaving the Relationship
We utilize a three-step approach to unpack the motivations behind staying in or ending a relationship. Through one-on-one sessions, we shed light on personal and relational patterns, giving each person space to voice their thoughts without judgment.
We're convinced that by examining these factors closely, we can paint a clearer picture of the relationship's current state and potential paths forward. Based on our experience, this approach often reveals underlying issues that may have been overlooked in day-to-day interactions.
Three-Phase Process
Our structured three-step approach includes:
​
-
Couple Meeting: Establish ground rules and identify key concerns
-
Individual Sessions: Deep dive into personal feelings and worries
-
Couple Reconvenes: Share insights and make informed decisions
​
This approach guides couples through difficult decisions, providing them with the tools to carefully consider their next move.
Individual Sessions for Processing Concerns and Gaining Insight
One-on-one discussions provide each partner with a private space to open up about their worries and learn more about themselves. These conversations are essential for personal growth and self-reflection, helping individuals connect with their feelings and inner wisdom.
From our perspective, this process isn't just about recognizing one's contributions to relationship problems; it's also about discovering previously unnoticed patterns and identifying genuine needs and desires.
Facilitating Conscious Decision-Making and Future Planning
Our counselling sessions help couples make thoughtful choices about their future. We offer a structured approach to support partners as they weigh their options and plan their next steps, ensuring they have the information and support they need throughout this challenging period.
Post-Decision Support
After a couple decides to separate or work on their relationship, we offer personalised support:
​
-
Detailed Separation Planning: Outline specific steps and offer emotional support
-
In-depth Relationship Counselling: Provide strategies to repair and strengthen partnerships
