Discernment Counselling
Discernment Counselling offers couples a structured opportunity to gain clarity when they are at a crossroads in their relationship. This process can assist couples who feel stuck, trapped, or chronically conflicted, particularly when one partner is considering separation or divorce while the other wants to remain together and work on the relationship.
We provide a compassionate and impartial space where both partners have the agency to speak openly about their experience, explore what they truly want, and consider their own contribution to the patterns and difficulties within the relationship. Rather than assuming the relationship should be saved or that it should end, Discernment Counselling focuses on understanding what each person is willing to consider and identifying a path forward. The process is present-focused and does not require an in-depth exploration of each person’s past. Together, we explore three possible paths: remaining together as things are, moving toward separation or divorce, or committing to couples counselling for a defined period of time. You do not need to have the answer before you begin; Discernment Counselling can help you move forward with greater clarity and intention.
