After the wedding ◆ Couple counselling

Talk it through with someone who gets both sides

Every couple argues. When you come from two cultures or two faiths, some arguments run deeper, because they touch family, religion, money or how you’ll raise children. A counsellor who has worked with mixed couples won’t treat your background as the problem. They help you hear each other properly.

We connect you with counsellors who have experience with cross-cultural and interfaith couples. Sessions can be in person or online, which helps when one of you travels or you live in different countries for a while.

How it works ◆

Step by step

01

A short first call

You tell us what’s going on and what you’d like from counselling. One of you or both can make this call.

02

Match with a counsellor

We suggest a counsellor based on language, background, format and availability. You can ask for someone else at any point.

03

Start your sessions

You meet the counsellor in person or online. The sessions stay between you and them.

04

Check in with us

We follow up to see if the match is working. If other issues come up, like visas or family, we can help there too.

Your questions ◇

Couple counselling FAQ

Do we have to be in crisis to start counselling?

Not at all. Many couples come when things are fine but a big change is ahead, like a move, a baby or a second ceremony. Talking early often makes those changes easier. Some couples come for a few sessions only, others stay longer.

Can we do counselling online if we live in different countries?

Yes. Online sessions work well for couples who live apart for a period, travel often, or prefer to talk from home. You’ll need a quiet place and a stable connection. The counsellor will agree with you on how sessions run.

Will the counsellor take one side, or one religion’s side?

A good counsellor doesn’t. We look for counsellors who have worked with interfaith and cross-cultural couples and respect both your backgrounds. If you ever feel a counsellor isn’t neutral, tell us and we’ll find someone else. You don’t need to explain why or have a long conversation about it.

Is what we say kept private?

Sessions are between you and your counsellor, under their professional confidentiality rules. We don’t receive notes from your sessions. We only know that you’re working together, unless you choose to tell us more. If you ever want to stop or pause the sessions, you only need to tell the counsellor or us.

Can one of us come alone?

Yes. Sometimes one partner wants to start alone, or the other isn’t ready yet. Individual sessions can still help, and many counsellors will later invite the other partner in if you both agree. There’s no pressure on either of you to join before you’re ready.

What languages are available?

We try to match you with a counsellor in a language you’re both comfortable with. Tell us your preferences at the first call and we’ll let you know what’s available. Sometimes a shared third language works better than either mother tongue.
