Spot on. She guides me through my darkest moments, making it easy for me to open up with ease. She explains the dos and don'ts of handling overwhelming emotions. She also provides insights on avoiding easily getting sucked into guilt tripping. That's the most one would need to hear after a session.

HOW DOES COUPLE'S COUNSELLING WORK AT THE FRIENDLY COUCH?
We use an evidence-based approach to help couples find their way back to happiness and connection. The process involves tailoring a unique plan suited to the needs of each couple based on the Gottman's method of couple’s counselling.
INDIVIDUAL SESSION
Individual sessions with each partner help our therapist to understand perspectives both perspectives of the relationship.
JOINT SESSION
Building on the insights from individual sessions, our therapist sees both partners together to work on open communication and understanding.
PERSONALIZED SESSIONS
After the initial round of sessions (two individual and one joint), our therapist will create a personalized plan depending on the couple's needs and progress.

COMMON QUESTIONS
You are welcome to prepare some points if you wish, but
there is no obligation to do so before the session.
We typically recommend starting with a counseling
psychologist if you're new to therapy. If you require
specialized assistance, you can be transferred to a
clinical psychologist through our internal process.
However, if you have already been diagnosed, are seeking
a diagnosis, have suicidal thoughts, or suspect you may
have a disorder, we strongly advise opting for a
clinical psychologist.
Therapy is a process, and expecting a cure in one
session is not realistic. The initial session focuses on
building a therapeutic relationship and understanding
your main concerns. Just as problems don't manifest
overnight and evolve over time, the healing process also
requires time and cannot be completed in a single
session. Each individual is unique, and their healing
journey will unfold at its own pace.
It's important to note that our therapists are not
crisis counselors and cannot communicate with you
outside of scheduled sessions. This policy is in place
to prevent dependency and to uphold their professional
boundaries and timings.
We do not offer chat-based therapy. Chat therapy is not
included in the training of academic psychologists, and
effective therapy cannot be adequately conducted through
messages or chat. We strongly advise against opting for
therapy services via chat, as this method is not
scientifically proven for counseling and may not provide
the intended benefits.
There is no age limit for consulting a psychologist on
our team. For minors (under 18), we require a consent
letter or acknowledgment from an adult regarding the
minor's therapy. The consenting adult does not
necessarily have to be a parent or guardian but should
be someone capable of providing consent and
acknowledging the client's participation in therapy. If
you are able to provide a consent letter, please let us
know, and we will provide the necessary details for
inclusion in the letter.
