Discernment Counselling
Are you and your partner feeling stuck, uncertain whether to stay together or part ways? Discernment Counselling is a focused, short-term process designed for couples who are on the brink of separation but not yet sure what direction to take.
​
Unlike traditional couples therapy that works on solving relationship problems, Discernment Counseling helps you and your partner:
-
Gain clarity and confidence about the future of your relationship.
-
Understand the dynamics that have brought you to this point.
-
Explore options: stay the course, separate, or commit to working on the relationship through therapy.
How It Works
-
Typically 1 to 5 sessions.
-
Each partner has time both together and one-on-one with the therapist.
-
The focus is on understanding, not on quick fixes or solutions.
Who It’s For
-
Couples where one or both partners are ambivalent about continuing the relationship.
-
Couples considering separation or divorce but wanting to explore all options first.
At the end of this process, you will have a clearer sense of the path that feels right for both of you.
