Relationship & Marriage Counselling

Marriage and Couples Counselling Perth

Our relationships are the cornerstone of our existence, and when they face challenges, every aspect of our lives is affected. Many couples attempt to resolve their issues independently but often find themselves trapped in perpetual negative cycles that become increasingly difficult to break. At Energetics Institute, our skilled relationship counsellors are here to help you interrupt these patterns and foster positive change within your relationship.

7 Critical Relationship Warning Signs

1. Recurring or Escalating Conflicts – You find yourselves trapped in a cycle of repetitive arguments or notice that disagreements are becoming increasingly intense and frequent.
2. Communication Breakdown – There’s a persistent inability to discuss and resolve issues openly and constructively, leading to unresolved tensions.
3. Growing Emotional Distance – Silences between you are becoming more common and uncomfortable, indicating a widening emotional gap.
4. Diminishing Quality Time – You’re spending noticeably less time together, and when you do, it feels forced or unfulfilling.
5. Wandering Attention – You find yourself increasingly drawn to or fantasizing about developing connections outside your relationship.
6. Neglecting the Partnership – There’s a tendency to prioritize children or other responsibilities at the expense of nurturing your relationship with each other.
7. Intimacy Decline – Physical intimacy, including sexual activity, has significantly decreased or ceased entirely, reflecting a deeper emotional disconnection.
