Post-Marriage Counselling

Marriage evolves over time. Expectations change, circumstances change, responsibilities increase and differences that once appeared manageable may sometimes become sources of recurring conflict.

Marriage inevitably involves differences in expectations, personalities, habits, priorities, families and circumstances. Some differences are manageable; others gradually become sources of resentment, recurring conflict or emotional distance.

However, most often we have observed that the visible problem is not the fundamental problem.

For example:

Social Counselling plays a pivotal role here since we believe in finding the fundamental issue, rather than merely treating the presented symptom.

Working across a diverse range of people across multiple regions and for multicultural societies, our counsellors have suggested consolidation of some 15 to 16 key potential areas which create disconnects in a marriage.

Potential areas could include:

Understand the Concern → Hear Both Perspectives → Identify the Fundamental Issue → Examine Material Factors → Facilitate Conscious Evaluation → Identify Areas for Change or Acceptance → Establish a Constructive Way Forward

Our Counsellors do not become an advocate for one spouse against the other.

Once the fundamental issues and material points are identified, the Counsellor brings them clearly to the respective individual's attention, explains the potential implications and facilitates conscious consideration of what may need to change, be accepted, adjusted or better understood.

This is a powerful way of counselling since, as an outcome:

To provide a compassionate and objective analysis of the situation, remove the fog created by immediate concerns, perceptions and individual narratives, and bring out the genuine areas of discontent and underlying issues.

The objective is to bring greater clarity to the relationship and the understanding between the individuals, enabling them to consciously determine an appropriate path forward.

Attention is drawn to the Client T&Cs and it is expressly communicated that Social Counselling cannot guarantee any particular outcome post counselling due to multiple external factors involved that are not within the control of Social Counselling. Please refer to the Client T&Cs for more details. Target outcome gets fine-tuned for each individual case.
