Marriage rates supposedly are on the decline. While it’s an oft-repeated statistic that 50 percent of first marriages end in divorce, that number has remained unchanged for the past 30 years. 

Marriage counselling, sometimes called couples therapy or counselling, is a type of psychotherapy that helps couples to explore, recognise, and resolve conflicts.

Child counselling aims to help children cope better with their emotions, understand problems, develop necessary coping skills and make positive choices. With divorce, children may experience negative effects such as denial, feelings of abandonment, anger, blame, guilt, preoccupation with reconciliation, and acting out. Counselling gives the child the opportunity to talk about how they feel without the fear of judgement. 

Adolescence has been called the most confusing, frustrating, challenging and fascinating phase of human development. There are a number of factors including physical changes, sexual changes, interpersonal changes, morals, values, religious beliefs, self-esteem and future concerns that contribute to adolescent problems.

Bereavement and grief encompass a range of feelings from deep sadness to anger. The process of adapting to a significant loss can vary dramatically from one person to another. It often depends on a person’s background, beliefs, and relationship to what was lost. Counselling is an opportunity to explore your feelings and memories without judgment. No loss is too big or too small to warrant support. You do not have to endure your grief alone.

The end of a marriage is one of the most stressful events a person can experience in his/her life time. Divorce is likely to bring up a range of very painful emotions such as grief, guilt, anger, confusion, fear, shame, and anxiety.

Recovering from addiction is difficult, as many individuals with alcohol or drug dependency fail to recognise their own patterns of abuse, or have ambivalent feelings about seeking treatment. Substance abuse counsellors provide a necessary support system for individuals recovering from eating disorders, drug and alcohol issues, gambling addictions, and other behavioural issues. 

Abuse is a misuse of power intended to harm or control another person. The maltreatment can be physical, verbal, or emotional. All types of abuse can cause pain and psychological distress.

All suicidal ideation and behaviour should be taken seriously, its important to identify the warning signs.
