Frequently Asked Questions
What is marriage counselling?
Marriage counselling is a type of professional support that helps couples improve their relationship. It provides partners with a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss marital challenges, better understand one another, and work through conflicts in a healthier way.
Marriage counselling in Perth can benefit those in a live-in relationship, those looking to get married in the future, and married couples.
A trained counsellor guides both partners through open conversations about communication, trust, responsibilities, intimacy, and future goals. For example, a couple might learn how to express their needs without arguing or how to rebuild closeness after a difficult period.
What is the cost of marriage counselling?
At TYHO, marriage counselling in Perth starts from A$180 per session.
Your counselling session includes:
- A 60-minute high-quality session
- A personalised therapeutic plan
- A clear roadmap of goals and progress
- Access to qualified and experienced counsellors
Perth marriage counsellors with specialist training may charge a slightly higher rate. Couples can also save through discounted packages if they plan to attend multiple sessions together.
How long does marriage counselling in Perth last?
Each marriage counselling session at TYHO is for 60 minutes.
The overall number of counselling sessions required varies from couple to couple. Some people feel better after four to six sessions, while others prefer ongoing support for several months.
The length depends on factors such as the issues you are working on, how often you attend sessions, and how comfortable you feel in applying the strategies you learn.
Your counsellor will discuss your goals with you and help you decide on a pace that feels right for both of you.
Why should I opt for online counselling?
Online marriage counselling in Perth offers convenience and flexibility, especially for couples with busy work schedules or parenting/family responsibilities.
Some common reasons couples choose online sessions include:
- Saving travel time and taking sessions from home
- Being able to attend together even when partners are in different locations
- Increased privacy and comfort
- Easier access to qualified counsellors from anywhere in Perth
For example, if one partner finishes work late or travels frequently, an audio or video session can make it much easier to continue counselling without interruption.
Who should consider seeking marriage counselling in Perth?
Any couple can benefit from marriage counselling, whether they are facing specific problems or simply want to strengthen their relationship. You may consider counselling if you are experiencing:
- Frequent arguments or miscommunication
- A sense of growing distance from your partner
- Difficulties with trust or honesty
- Changes such as moving cities, parenting challenges, or financial stress
- A lack of intimacy or emotional connection
- Unresolved conflicts that keep coming up
Even couples who feel generally stable sometimes seek counselling to build stronger communication skills or prepare for future milestones.
Is family and marriage counselling different?
Yes, family counselling and marriage counselling are different.
Marriage counselling focuses on the relationship between two partners. The sessions explore communication, expectations, shared responsibilities, and emotional understanding.
Family counselling involves more than two people. It looks at how the entire family system functions and how different members influence one another. For example, a counsellor might meet with parents and children together to address issues such as sibling conflict, parenting challenges, or major family transitions.
Both forms of counselling can be helpful, but they serve different purposes depending on your situation.
What can I do after going for marriage therapy?
After attending marriage therapy in Perth, you can continue applying the tools and techniques you learn during sessions. Some steps that may help include:
- Practising open and honest communication with your partner
- Setting aside regular time to check in with each other
- Using strategies learned in sessions to manage conflict
- Working on shared goals such as improving routines at home or rebuilding intimacy
- Reflecting on what has improved and what still needs attention
Many couples also schedule follow-up sessions from time to time to maintain progress, much like people go for regular health check-ins.
