Not all addictions involve substances. Behavioural addictions—such as gambling, pornography, compulsive spending, or gaming—can be equally disruptive to emotional intimacy and household stability. These issues often carry layers of secrecy, shame, or denial, making them difficult to address without neutral guidance. We help couples navigate these challenges with honesty and care, encouraging dialogue that restores accountability and rebuilds safety in the relationship.

Our counselling services are tailored to each couple’s unique dynamic. We provide education, communication strategies, and recovery planning that empower both partners to move forward—whether that means healing together, redefining boundaries, or rebuilding trust after emotional or relational harm. Through structured support and non-judgmental space, couples gain clarity, coping tools, and a shared sense of purpose.

Our counselling helps couples understand the role mental health plays in their relationship dynamic. We guide the non-affected partner in understanding diagnoses, treatment options, and the emotional toll involved—fostering empathy and helping both partners communicate with greater openness. Together, we develop realistic support strategies that prioritise emotional well-being while encouraging healthy boundaries. Whether it’s managing anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition, we focus on reconnecting partners through effective communication and shared emotional insight.

Substance abuse and addiction—whether current or in recovery—can deeply impact a marriage, often leading to breakdowns in trust, intimacy, and shared responsibilities. We address the emotional and practical consequences addiction brings into daily life, while supporting the non-using partner with coping tools, validation, and guidance. Our focus is on recovery as a joint journey, encouraging couples to participate in counselling, set respectful boundaries, and attend support groups or therapy as needed. When relapse occurs, we offer structured approaches to help both partners understand triggers, manage emotional fallout, and engage in recovery planning together.
