Being in a relationship can have a profoundly positive effect on your sense of self and wellbeing. The benefits of sustaining good relationships are well documented: people in healthy relationships tend to live longer and experience less physical, emotional and mental health issues. Conversely, being in a relationship beset by problems can have a crippling effect on one’s self-esteem, and capacity to live life to the fullest.

MARTHA7 can help you and your partner:

• Improve communication
• Manage conflict
• Cope with stressors
• Minimise criticism and blaming behaviours
• Identify and nurture relationship strengths

Its outcomes are influenced by the interpersonal relations between the client and significant others. The overall goal of MARTHA7 is to reduce or eliminate mental health symptoms by improving the quality of the client’s current interpersonal relations and social functioning. In addition, the treatment also aims to help clients to develop their social support network, so that they can better manage their present interpersonal distress.

How relationship counseling can help you

Relationships are as individual as the people in them. Each relationship presents unique circumstances and challenges, particularly when there are different backgrounds, personalities and value systems involved. Our counsellor or psychotherapist will form a collaborative alliance with you.
