Relationship Counselling in Singapore

Relationship counselling is a professional service that helps couples and individuals navigate challenges in their relationships. It provides a safe space to address communication issues, trust problems, or differences in values and goals. While couple counselling and marriage counselling share similarities, they aren’t exactly the same.

Couple counselling is broader, supporting partners in any stage of their relationship, whether dating, cohabiting, or married. Marriage counselling specifically focuses on the dynamics of married life, tackling issues like marital roles, financial disagreements, or parenting conflicts. Both aim to strengthen the relationship by fostering understanding, resolving conflicts, and building healthier patterns of interaction.

At All in the Family Counselling Singapore, we provides guidance and support for individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges. Our marriage and couple counselling services focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering emotional connection. Whether you’re seeking marital counselling, relationship therapy, or support for family issues, we offer personalised solutions tailored to your unique needs.

FAQs About Marital & Couples Counselling

1. What is the success rate of marriage counselling?

The success rate of marriage counselling varies widely based on individual circumstances, the counsellor’s expertise, the dedication of the couples involved, and the couple’s desired end goals for therapy. While there isn’t a universal percentage, many couples experience significant improvements in communication, understanding, and overall relationship satisfaction after undergoing therapy. The ultimate success often hinges on the couple’s genuine commitment to the process, willingness to embrace change and consistent effort in applying the strategies and insights gained during the sessions.

2. Does marriage counselling have to be in person?

Our marriage counsellor, Tammy Fontana, offers in-person and online counselling in Singapore to best suit your and your partner’s needs. Her online relationship and marriage counselling sessions are ideal for couples and individuals with busy schedules. Perhaps your work requires you to travel frequently, or you need flexibility in scheduling for any other reason. Sessions will be conducted via Skype or WhatsApp video calls for further convenience, and you can speak to Ms. Fontana online even if you’re not in Singapore right now.

3. Do both partners need to attend sessions?

You can attend our marital counselling services alone or with a partner, depending on the circumstances the situation calls for. If both parties are interested in attending couples counselling, we recommend attending together to make the most out of your sessions and build a meaningful dialogue with each other.

If your partner is not interested in attending counselling, attending the sessions alone could still help you explore the deeper issues surrounding your marriage or relationship. By participating in solo sessions, you are actively working to improve half of the relationship and developing yourself as a person and partner. While it is possible that your partner’s behaviour may change upon seeing you engage in counselling on your own, this is not guaranteed and will vary depending on the individual.

4. Who can benefit from couples counselling?

Couples counselling is suitable for partners who face a range of relationship challenges or seek to strengthen their bond. Whether it’s communication difficulties, emotional distance, trust concerns, or managing life changes together, Tammy Fontana offers a supportive space to address and resolve these matters. It’s beneficial for any couple looking to enhance their relationship and navigate difficulties collaboratively.

5. What are the signs that my partner and I should attend marriage counselling?

If you and your partner are experiencing any of the following signs in your relationship, you might be seeing clear indicators that your relationship may benefit from professional guidance. Consider marriage counselling if the following seem like they are happening in your relationship:

• Communication Breakdown
• Frequent Arguments
• Emotional Distance
• Infidelity

6. What are the common reasons Singaporean couples seek relationship counselling?

Singaporean couples commonly seek relationship counselling for issues such as communication problems, conflict resolution, lack of intimacy, infidelity recovery, and navigating life transitions. Many also seek support to strengthen their relationship, enhance emotional connection, and address parenting challenges, ensuring a healthier partnership in the face of various stressors.

7. How can marriage counselling help struggling couples in Singapore?

Marriage counselling in Singapore can assist struggling couples by attending counselling sessions by Tammy Fontana, who employs effective approaches like the Gottman Method, which enhances communication and conflict management, and the Prepare/Enrich Programme, which identifies strengths and growth areas. By employing these methods, she provides support, encouraging healthier relationships and deeper emotional connections between partners.

8. Are marriage counselling and couples counselling the same?

Marriage counselling and couples counselling are similar but not identical. Marriage counselling specifically focuses on the challenges faced by married couples, while couples counselling can include a broader range of committed relationships. Both aim to improve communication and resolve conflicts, but the context and techniques may differ slightly.
