Couples Therapy
Relationships in Hong Kong are under tremendous stress, especially if a move or a job change has created intrinsic differences in how you function as a couple. Whether you call it Couples Therapy, Couples Counseling, Relationship Counseling or Marriage Counseling, the aim is to have you and your significant other discuss your feelings, facilitate honest and open communication and delve into all the issues affecting the relationship. At MindnLife, our therapists use various evidence-based treatment solutions, including Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Solution Focused Couples Therapy, which have proven to be effective in getting to the root cause of the problem and coming up with effective, applicable and practical solutions.

We recognize the impact a place such as Hong Kong can have on a relationship. This can affect people that have been raised in Hong Kong and more so, expatriates and their spouses or partners who are new to Hong Kong. Challenges in relationships can come across at any point. What’s important is to recognize the challenge and consciously take a step towards building a healthy relationship. We understand the sensitive nature of these issues and provide a private and safe space for you and your significant other as you work towards resolving and rebuilding your relationships.
