Pre-marital Counselling

Before you say “I do”…

Marriage is one of the most beautiful commitments two people can make. Promising to build a life together, in front of the people you love. Planning the wedding often takes a lot of energy & attention, and it’s easy for the relationship itself to slip into the background.
Before You Say I Do is a 3-session pre-marriage counselling package that helps you and your partner prepare for this life commitment.

These sessions are a chance to reflect on your commitment, to understand each other more deeply, and to lay a foundation you can build on for years to come.

You don’t need to be facing any particular difficulty. Many couples choose counselling simply because they want to begin their marriage well. You can start these sessions anytime, but probably best 2 - 6 months before your wedding.

What to expect

• 3 of 90 minutes, in person in Byron Bay / Bangalow or online

• Practical tools you can start using straight away

The Before You Say I Do package is a $600 investment for all three sessions.

FAQ

Is premarriage counselling only for couples who are struggling?
Not at all. It’s for couples who want to honour their commitment by preparing for it well. Talking through the big topics now, while you’re feeling close and hopeful, is much easier than doing it under pressure later.

How far ahead of the wedding should we start?
Ideally a few months before, so you have time to put what you’ve talked about into practice. But whenever you’re ready is the right time.

Can we do it online?
yes - we can do sessions online via video (zoom)

What if we disagree on something in a session?
That’s a normal part of the process, and often a useful one. My role is to help you talk about it in a way that brings you closer, not to take sides.
