Divorce counselling is a specialized therapeutic process aimed at helping couples navigate marital distress with the goal of healing and reconciliation. Unlike counselling that supports separation, this therapy focuses on identifying the issues threatening the marriage and working to repair the relationship. Smrithi Nishanth at Zest Counselling provides a compassionate space where couples explore their emotions, improve communication, and rebuild their partnership with expert guidance.
Pre-marital counselling matters deeply because it equips couples with the essential tools and understanding needed to build a healthy, resilient, and lasting marriage. At Zest Counselling, Smrithi Nishanth guides couples through this foundational preparation with focus on several key benefits:
Smrithi Nishanth creates a neutral, non-judgmental environment at Zest Counselling where clients feel genuinely safe, heard, and supported. By maintaining neutrality, Smrithi helps clients focus fully on their feelings and experiences, making it easier to identify the real issues and work collaboratively toward meaningful solutions. This compassionate atmosphere also reduces defensiveness and resistance, creating a space where healing and growth can truly happen.
Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy and fulfilling marriage. Pre-marital counselling helps couples develop and refine this crucial skill through various intentional practices and insights. At Zest Counselling, Smrithi Nishanth guides couples to:
