It aims to improve communication, learn to express needs and desires constructively, resolve conflicts, work towards healing and rebuilding trust when dealing with infidelity or betrayal, rediscover emotional and physical intimacy, and enhance overall relationship satisfaction.

At Side by Side we provide a safe and confidential space for couples to express themselves without fear of judgment, explore sensitive topics, share emotions and discuss concerns openly. Couples counselling isn't only for couples in crisis. It can also benefit healthy relationships seeking to strengthen their bond, improve communication, and deepen intimacy.
Family Counselling
Family counselling is aimed to help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. We view the family as a complex system of interconnected individuals and recognise that changes or issues in one family member can affect the entire family unit. Our therapist will help you understand patterns of interaction, communication styles, and roles within the family, explore how these dynamics contribute to conflicts or challenges and assist families to work towards positive changes and healthier interactions.
​
At Side by Side we offer families a safe space to address challenges such as major life transitions, unresolved conflicts, past traumas or generational patterns of behaviour, as well as parenting support. Family counselling helps strengthen emotional bonds and connections among family members. It fosters empathy, understanding and support within the family unit.
Christian Counselling
We incorporate psychological principles with Christian beliefs and teachings, acknowledging the authority and relevance of the bible for guiding personal growth and healing. Our counsellor may use scripture, prayer and Christian teachings as resources for addressing life's challenges. We provide spiritual guidance and support, helping clients connect with their faith and relationship with God. Central to Christian counselling are principles of love, compassions, forgiveness and grace and we encourage clients to cultivate these virtues in their personal lives, to explore their worth, purpose and values .
Christian counselling can address a wide range of issues and help you find comfort, hope and healing through counselling that aligns with your christian beliefs and values.
