Reflecting on My Experience
As a relationship counsellor with nearly a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with many couples who were feeling stuck and disconnected. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how counselling can help couples rediscover the parts of their relationship that brought them together in the first place, while also strengthening crucial aspects like communication.
One couple that stands out is an engaged couple who had been together for three years. Despite their love for each other, they were overwhelmed by constant fighting, which led to doubts about their future. Their wedding plans were even put on hold, and they weren’t sure how to move forward.
Key Insight
The most powerful lesson from this couple’s story is the importance of seeking help early. On average, couples wait 6-7 years before getting support, but by then, issues can be much harder to fix. This couple acted quickly, and it made all the difference. By addressing their problems early on, they not only rebuilt their relationship but also gained the confidence to move forward with their wedding plans.
Personal Experience
In just a few weeks of counselling, this couple’s relationship was transformed. They moved from constant conflict to weeks without fighting—something they thought was impossible. They learned to identify their emotional triggers, communicate more clearly, and made small yet powerful changes in how they interacted. By reconnecting and rebuilding trust, they set a wedding date and were excited about their future together.
