Couples Counselling Melbourne by Anne Serry
Couples Counselling Melbourne
Melbourne Counselling Centre, led by Anne Serry, recognises the significant influence that a healthy relationship can have on an individual’s emotional health and overall life satisfaction. On the other hand, a relationship marred by constant conflict and despair can result in anxiety, depression, and anger.
In any relationship, differences and challenges are inevitable. For couples facing struggles, counselling offers a crucial opportunity to address these issues. This form of therapy provides a space for partners to navigate through their negative emotions and conflicts together, fostering a pathway towards a more fulfilling and happier relationship.
The essence of a rewarding relationship lies in the foundations of closeness, communication, and commitment, which are vital for true intimacy. Relationships are as diverse as the people involved, and encountering difficulties is a normal aspect of any partnership.
Couples counselling is a tool to help identify specific areas requiring attention and to develop new relationship skills. A counsellor can offer guidance in creating effective strategies that build closeness and trust, enabling couples to move forward with optimism and a strengthened bond. This approach is tailored to address the unique dynamics of each relationship, ensuring a personalised and effective counselling experience.

hanna yachou2021-06-24I've been seeing Anne Serrey for anger management and for TRTP as part of my court ordered diversion since April. I can comfortably say that slapping the guy that brought me to these counselling sessions was the best thing I've ever done. Absolutely life changing. I feel much lighter, I feel free, and unstuck for the first time since exiting my mother's uterus thirty odd years ago. Thanks so much Anne for all your help and your continued support. Highly recommend Anne's services.

A K2020-10-08Anne is amazing, TRTP has changed my entire outlook on life, how I interact with people, and what I’m doing. In the few months since TRTP my life has honestly changed so much for the better, it’s beyond what I could have ever imagined. My friends and family are also noticing it! And amazingly, every day gets better. Thank you so much Anne!

Poki Samuels2020-03-31Well all I can say is that Anne has helped me get through some of the anger And trauma Been built up inside of me for years and I have not known how to deal with it. She took me step by step on to see how I could overcome these issues that were holding me back on achieving some of my greatest goals in life. Thank you so much Anne 🙏🏾
Nathan Watson2019-09-18TRTP has completely changed the way I think about myself and the world around me. The changes have been extraordinary in such a short space of time. I suddenly find myself walking forward with a new set of positive core beliefs which others are noticing on a daily basis Anne supported me through the process with expertise, compassion and patience. TRTP really does offer you a new launch pad from which to embark on a new journey. I’m so grateful for having this opportunity to do this work with Anne
Daniela J2019-06-14I had been struggling with life and reliving my trauma for over 20 years, I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally I was referred to Anne, who took me through The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) as that is the process that helped shift the past and get you to a better place. Words cannot express how she turned my life completely around. For once, I am actually excited about life, I am actually thinking about my future. I feel like my life has been reset, I have a second chance and I am developing my life the way I want it to be, rather than the influences I was brought up with. Anne, I am indebted to you, thank you so much.
