If you are planning on getting married, why not start out with as much security and connection as possible? Pre-marital counseling can provide a special place in which to explore areas of married life - the ups and downs - in order to get ahead of possible issues. I provide a warm, nurturing environment in which to share, explore and discover what each of you can give to the other in a long-term marriage and what each of you needs to feel connected, understood and heard. I use a wonderful approach of Emotionally Focused Therapy where pre-marital couples can get in touch with their feelings, understand what they want and need from the other person and how to get their message across. Starting the process of secure connection before there are issues is the best gift you can give yourselves.
