Relationship counselling aims to increase the whole family's well-being by nurturing the relationship between the parents. We provide counselling for problems with interaction in the relationship, such as a lack of intimacy or an emotional connection, recurring arguments, the threat of separation or a sudden infidelity crisis.
The work includes assessment, advice, psychotherapeutic support, or short-term therapeutic couples psychotherapy. We require that both spouses attend the therapy visits.
If you and your spouse are interested in relationship counselling, send us a message in Maisa, call social counselling for families with children, or use the 'Need help?' online form.
If you send us a message via Maisa, we will respond to you within three working days. If we cannot reach you by phone, we will send you a reply in Maisa.
The service is free of charge.
