I first met Tess when I returned to my home town after being away for a long time and I had experienced some changes in my life I did not expect. Tess helped me learn to manage anxiety, change my thoughts about myself and my thinking, understand links with my childhood, self compassion and self love. Tess allowed me to feel safe to express all my thoughts without fear of judgement. Tess is very professional, yet warm, honest, caring and kind in her approach. I highly recommend Tess to anyone who needs help with relationships, life or themselves. Tess also follows up with her clients and this is a wonderful service. Thank you Tess!

Handy tips

Common questions to ask your marriage guidance counsellor

Before your first marriage counselling session, consider putting together a short list of questions to ask. We’ve gathered some questions to guide you in finding the right family and relationship counsellor for your needs:

What is the cost?
Does my insurance cover some of the cost?
Do they offer services on a sliding scale?
Have you worked with couples like us?
Which type of therapy do you practice?
Do you have other qualifications in mental health?
What can we expect from therapy?

Also consider thinking about some topics before you arrive: What are my main issues? Do I want a divorce? Is this a phase? Am I satisfied with the relationship? When did the problems start to get out of hand?

At the end of the day, it’s important to let your spouse know you want the relationship to work out. Our listings show basic personal, family and marriage guidance counselling services for you to get started.
