Relationship Counselor, Educator, PREPARE/ENRICH Australia, MAREAA, A.C.A.

Independent Prepare/Enrich Facilitator

Hi, I'm Deb. 

Prepare/Enrich with me is a fun way to learn more about each other, create strong building blocks for the foundation of your relationship, and build pillars of support to maintain it through thick and thin.

I am not linked to any religious organization, and I welcome couples of all faiths, genders and life stages.

I am also a Civil Celebrant helping people to marry their person. And on this journey I support and encourage an open, honest, and frank understanding of relationships. But I don't have to marry you for you to access Prepare/Enrich.

Over time I have realised that there is a gap where happy couples fall... They want to uphold their relationship in its best form, but they don't need a counselor... What they are seeking is someone to guide them through and assist them to maintain the connection, commitment and deeper understanding that they love to have between them. 

That's where I come in... With fun questionnaires, quizzes and homework, you will love this!! Before, during or after marriage, Prepare/Enrich is a simple, fun thing to do as a couple. I promise!!! 

I have a private and purpose-built office in Maslin Beach, and if dogs are your thing my two will be more than happy to come and say hello.

Hope and Grow

Selah Counselling Practice

I am a qualified Counsellor and member of ACA. In my private practice, I counsel from a Biblical worldview to people for a range of general counselling issues. Today people are desperately in need of Gods touch and professional, caring support to navigate life stressors including healing and restoration of relationships. My special area of interest is relationships, pre-marriage and marriage counselling.
The use of Prepare-Enrich to give a couple personalized information and opportunity for feedback & discussion is invaluable to building a strong healthy relationship where individuals can grow and thrive. I believe solid, evidence-based pre-marriage counselling is essential to reduce divorce and family breakdown that has devastating effects. The Couple checkup is a wonderful tool to help couples get back on track, become more aware of their contributions to issues, and to develop a stronger marriage. Helping clients to recognise unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling & behaving while supporting them to respond in healthier ways to create understanding and harmony in relationship is an essential part of my work with conflicted couples.
I'm passionate about supporting couples to experience a happy, fulfilled and lifelong relationship that honours God. Your investment in PE will bring about a good return! Prepare-Enrich Pre-marital couples generally benefit from 3 x 1.5 hr sessions followed up with 1 session 6 months after the wedding. I will then contact you 2 years after your marriage for a followup conversation.
Prepare-Enrich Marriage counselling for conflicted couples will benefit from 3 + sessions. An individualised counselling plan will be developed to support you to work through issues and facilitate discussion.
I'd love you to contact me for more information about the possibility of us working together to enrich your relationship.
