My husband was very reluctant to go to couples counselling. He was convinced the whole experience would be ‘airy-fairy’, that we would have sit in front of a stranger and talk about childhood issues and get all ‘touchy-feely’. He isn’t that guy who talks about his emotions easily and the whole idea just made him cringe. I did manage to drag him into that first session with Dianne and within minutes I knew he had let go of those concerns and was feeling much more comfortable than he expected. On the drive home that evening he told me he was looking forward to going back! Within 5 sessions our relationship was not only back on track but much, MUCH better than it had ever been. Going to see Dianne was one of the best decisions we ever made”.
