Pre Marriage Counselling

 
Pre Marriage Counselling 1
 
Many of us prepare for most things in life. We prepare for holidays. We prepare for job interviews. We prepare for dinner. We prepare for the kids to get into the right schools, albeit kindergarten and/or college. We prepare our immune system through vaccines. So, why wouldn’t we prepare for marriage? We prepare for the wedding day, purchase the dress, book the venue, invite the guests, but do we prepare for the marriage?

Dr. Michele has worked in the area of pre-marriage counselling in Hong Kong for more than 20 years. She knows that couples may either be afraid to talk about their relationship with a therapist or simply put, they never thought about the value and importance of pre-marriage counselling. Dr. Michele argues that “pre-marriage counselling can be the best thing you can do for yourself and for the marriage. Pre-marriage counselling can start your relationship off on a solid foundation.”

Pre-marriage counselling will facilitate the opportunity to address topics that are vital for a healthy marriage. Together we will process unresolved conflict, identify issues related to cross-cultural differences, celebrate strengths and growth areas, as well as, address family of origin dynamics. Through a series of several sessions, we will explore topics such as:

• Effective Communication
• Conflict Resolution
• Children and Parenting
• Money
• Sex and Intimacy
• Life goals and Marital expectations
• In-laws and Parents

Experts say, the average couple waits six years before seeking help for marital problems. (Gottman) Get off to a good start and be as prepared as possible.

Free Covid-19 Mental Health Self Help Guide

In March 2020, the Covid-19 Mental Health Relief Committee (made up of therapists from Central Minds), partnered with Mind HK to launch the Covid-19 Mental Health Relief Scheme, offering short term pro-bono mental health support to individuals in need.

As the pandemic continues and mandatory quarantine requirements and restrictions are continuously changing, we have now created a self help guide for individuals to work through at their own pace.

The guide, developed by our clinicians in partnership with Mind HK, includes several self help tools and strategies to guide you in managing your mental health during the pandemic and whilst in quarantine.

Please enter your name and email address to download the Guide in Traditional Chinese or English.
