Couples counselling helps partners navigate relocation stress, parenting load, and dual-career conflict. Providers may be clinical psychologists, counsellors, or therapists — credentials and modality matter more than clinic polish.

## Decision points - Psychologist vs counsellor pathway - In-person vs secure telehealth for travel weeks - Individual vs conjoint session mix - Language / cultural matching needs - Employer EAP vs private cash rates

Clarify confidentiality limits for EAP-referred work.

## How to choose Prefer practitioners who explain their approach (e.g. EFT, Gottman-informed) and cancellation policies upfront. Ask about crisis pathways. Avoid anyone promising court outcomes in custody disputes.

## Practical tip Agree on one shared goal sentence before session one. Unscoped “fix us” hours burn cash fast.
