Marriage Counselling in Dubai
Can a Marriage Counsellor Help You?
All relationships have their ups and downs, but when a relationship isn’t safe, trusting or respectful, the effect on both parties is significant. If your relationship is causing you distress or you feel that things just aren’t quite right, professional marriage counselling or couples therapy could help you overcome your challenges and strengthen your relationship.
If you’ve been experiencing any of the following, couples counselling could help:
- Communication is difficult or one-sided
- Trust has been broken
- Intimacy is missing
- Frequent conflict or arguments
- Inability to manage conflict without escalation or feeling overwhelmed
- Lack of financial transparency
- Differing parenting styles
- You feel like you’re growing apart
“After my first visit I started to feel better about my marriage, my life, but most importantly, myself. Every subsequent session has been so worth it. It’s changed my life.”
How Does Marriage Counselling or Couples Therapy Work?
Our team of licensed psychologists are relationship specialists who support couples in getting back on track.
In marriage counselling or couples therapy, you will talk together with your marriage counsellor about the difficulties in your relationship. We will work with you to identify sources of conflict and help you to understand your partner, so you can communicate more effectively and rebuild your relationship.
You can choose to have ad-hoc sessions or opt for one of our couples courses or intensive 3-day Marathon couples therapy.
When is the Right Time to See a Marriage Counsellor?
You don’t have to know what’s wrong – all you need to know is that something isn’t right. You may feel like you’ve been struggling for a while, or there may have been a trigger, like trust issues or a behaviour that is difficult to tolerate.
The sooner you see a psychologist or counsellor, the quicker it is for us to help you resolve your problems, but it’s never too late.
Couples Therapy for a Healthier Relationship
You deserve to have a healthy and positive relationship with your partner. If your relationship is causing your distress, or if you find yourself repeating familiar patterns, even if they are not healthy, we encourage you to reach out to us for support.
Our marriage counsellors are experienced at helping couples resolve their difficulties, and thereby improving the situation at home not only for the couple but for any children that might be affected by unhappy parents. Marriage counselling can also be helpful when a couple does decide to separate, supporting the couple to part in a healthy way.
Couples Courses and Intensive Couples Therapy
Next Level Couples Course
One of the best times to come for couples therapy is before embarking on a big commitment, for example, prior to getting married, moving in together or deciding to have children. In our experience, many of the issues that later bring couples into therapy in crises could easily have been spotted and averted early on.
Couples will benefit from a comprehensive assessment and will learn tools and strategies to help them cultivate the relationship they want.
5×90-minute joint sessions. Comprehensive questionnaire. Optional report. READ MORE HERE

3-Day Marathon Intensive Couples Retreat
This Gottman Marathon Intensive couples therapy is for couples in crisis who are looking for quick and long lasting results.
There are 18 hours of therapy over 3 days, giving you an opportunity to talk in depth about the struggles and challenges of the relationship that simply can not happen in the traditional style of couples therapy.
Marathon Intensive couples therapy is a good fit for busy people with tight schedules and those couples who need to get help immediately.
Pre-therapy questionnaire, Assessment phase (Day 1), Treatment phase (Days 1 – 3) and an optional Relapse Prevention phase via follow up sessions.
The last Thursday to Saturday of the month. READ MORE HERE

Relationship Wellness Course
Having worked with couples for decades, it is our view that committing to a comprehensive and relationship skills package offers the right balance of exploration and skills within a finite amount of sessions.
Suited to those couples who are not in crisis, where the foundations of trust and respect are present, yet you can identify some areas where your relationship could be enhanced. (For example, parenting styles, intimacy, pressures from extended family).
2 x 90-minute joint sessions, 2 x 50-minute individual sessions, questionnaire, analysis and report. READ MORE HERE
