The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

PRE-MARITAL COUPLES COUNSELLING
BEFORE YOU MAKE THE VOWS
Pre-marital counseling provides couples with a valuable opportunity to strengthen their relationship and prepare for a lasting marriage.** It encourages open conversations about communication, conflict resolution, finances, and future goals, helping couples align on key issues and address potential challenges early. By fostering honest dialogue, couples gain a deeper understanding of each other’s values and expectations, building a strong foundation for their life together.
Beyond practical preparation, pre-marital counseling nurtures emotional connection and trust.** It equips couples with communication tools to navigate life’s ups and downs and deepens their commitment to growing as partners. Whether blending cultures, faiths, or personal experiences, it helps create a resilient partnership based on mutual respect, making it an investment in both the wedding day and a thriving future together.
Jaqueline says: " I am lay counsellor with regular access to my mentor, Trudi Penkler, a trained psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support. I will do my best to help, and if your needs go beyond my experience or qualifications, I can connect you with an appropriate practitioner who can provide the care you deserve."
The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives
