Marital
You need not think alike, but think together!
Relationships are like a bed of roses with thorns. Yes, there are rough times and roadblocks, smooth sailing partners with zero disagreements is a myth. However, if all that is escalating, making you feel like you are falling out of love, losing the spark or cheating your partner, you need counselling.
Don’t make the mistake of disclosing such fragile matters to your knowns and then seek help, suggestions and advice from them. They know you and hence can get biased unknowingly or blame one of you for everything.
What you need is an expert psychologist and counsellor who can understand your past, present and help you construct a beautiful future together.

Why Us?
- Analyse patterns- Your marriage might be getting affected due to a certain behavioural pattern. The counsellor will ask the right questions to know that and help you in identifying the pattern and resolving it.
- Mediator /coach- Our counsellor more than anything always act as a coach and a mediator both. They switch their roles as per the requirement. Sometimes, you may need someone to listen to both the sides and sometimes you may need someone to guide you both and point out where you go wrong. They are primarily there to foster effective communication between you two.
- Accountability- The counsellors during the course of time may also assign you some homework or use role model techniques on the basis of severity of a situation.
- Realistic expectations- Sometimes we expect our partners to change for us instead of accepting the way they are. While both of the partners should work on changing their bad habits, they should also learn the art of knowing the differences and accepting them.
- Tools for improving communication- Our counsellors and therapists also help couples in communicating effectively with each other. The root cause of problems in marriage is mostly this. By using various tools and exercises to improve communication, the counsellor helps the couple in building a better understanding of each other as well. Otherwise, many fights happen because one partner was misunderstood by the other.
