Structured support for recurring conflict, communication difficulties, trust concerns and adjustment within relationships.

Confidential English and Hindi Detailed assessment
Understanding the concern

The experience matters as much as the label.

Relationship concerns may arise from communication patterns, life transitions, family pressures, sexual concerns or an individual mental-health condition. Initial assessment helps identify whether couple-focused work, individual treatment or another form of support is most suitable.

You do not need to identify the condition yourself before consulting. Begin with what has changed, how long it has continued and how it is affecting everyday life.

01

Repeated unresolved conflict

02

Communication breakdown

03

Trust or intimacy concerns

04

Stress related to major life changes

What assessment considers

A symptom can have more than one explanation.

The pattern

When symptoms began, their frequency, severity and effect on work, study, sleep or relationships.

Health and medicines

Physical illness, prescribed medicines, substances and relevant investigations where needed.

Life context

Recent changes, stress, family observations, support systems and the person’s own priorities.

Safety and urgency

Any immediate concern involving self-harm, severe agitation, confusion or inability to remain safe.

How care may help

A treatment plan should make sense in real life.

Care is decided after assessment. Depending on the concern, it may include clear explanations, practical changes, psychotherapy guidance, medication or coordination with another specialist.

Common questions

Questions people often ask before consulting

Do both partners need to attend?

Joint participation is often helpful for couple-focused work, although an individual consultation may be appropriate first in some situations.

Urgent help: If there is immediate danger, suicidal intent, severe confusion, violent behaviour or inability to remain safe, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department.
