Understanding Couples Counselling

According to Dr. Michael Dadson "Couples who are experiencing difficulty in their relationship, often need guidance and support to find their way back to each other".



Dr. Michael Dadson notes:

Divorce is all too often one of the most expensive times in our life. However, research shows with the proper therapy and a trained clinical counsellor couples can achieve long lasting positive results that can make an enormous difference in the connection couples share. Couples counselling is extremely satisfying as the effort put into a relationship brings rewards that can be life lasting.

Overall, Dr. Dadson believes that couples counseling is important because it offers couples the tools and guidance they need to overcome challenges, improve their relationship, and build a more fulfilling and enduring partnership.
