Premarital Counselling FAQs
How is premarital counselling different from couples therapy?
Premarital counselling is typically short-term and goal-focused, helping you prepare for a strong future together. Couples therapy may explore deeper patterns, past trauma, or ongoing relationship issues.
The A’s to Your Q’s
Can we add individual support if needed?
Do we need to be engaged or married to attend?
No. Premarital counselling is for couples in the early stages of their relationship—whether you’re living together, engaged, or newly married.
Premarital counselling is a supportive process for couples preparing for marriage. It helps you communicate better, navigate differences, and build a strong foundation for your future together.
The number of sessions depends on your goals and challenges. For premarital couples focusing on communication, understanding each other, and stopping repetitive arguments, 4–6 sessions often lead to lasting change.
