YOUR 1st SESSION
What can you expect your marriage & relationship therapist on your first session?
Feel better & see the way forward in your first session, or you don’t pay!
Benefit, immediately, from over thirty decades of couples’ counselling experience that Jeffery Saunders can offer you. Feel the relief when you learn that your marriage/relationship can be saved, and that there’s nothing really wrong with you both – you’ve just slipped into the hole many others also find themselves in.
Heal your partnership by learning to understand each other by developing new relationship skills. Save your marriage, avoid divorce, and protect the love still left in your relationship. Jeff Saunders offers affordable couples’ counselling in Christchurch, New Zealand and over the internet through Skype.
Listen carefully
To your relationship situation, and what you are wanting to do about it – if you know;
Both viewpoints on what is going on, that is not working for you.
Provide the help or advice you seek to take the first steps to bring harmony and love back into your relationship.
Provide opportunity
For you to discover, and get help for, the underlying causes of challenges you face in your relationship;
Assist you to gain insight into the hidden dynamics of your relationship, how these are affecting your relationship right now, and what must be done if the change is to occur;
Provide hope and strategies
As to how to get your relationship back on track, including a step by step outline for moving forward.
Create a safe environment for the ongoing exploration of your relationship/marriage. This safety must extend to the situation in your own home.
Explain
The therapeutic model being used, and why it works so well.
Give you tasks you can do between the sessions that will help you to gain insight into, and make changes to, your relationship.
Bring your attention to relevant articles on Jeff’s websites that provide further insight into your situation, and tools to help you improve it.
Confidentiality
My office is a safe place. My intention here is to reassure you that everything we share during your time with me will be kept only between us. As all therapists do, I must only share your first name with my supervisor and no more than that. The anonymous conversation is required for a session to be fully effective.

Cost: $120 for a one hour session with Lucy Cabot-Saunders.
Payment by EFTPOS, internet transfer or cash at the end of each session.
cancellations
Please note that cancellation must be made more than 48 hours before a session so that the time can be made available to others.
Both Lucy and Jeff are booked out a couple of weeks ahead, so cancellations allow others to get in earlier.
Late cancellations and forgotten appointments will incur a full fee.
Courses
Courses for Couples are available from time to time. These are a very cost effective way to learn about couples dynamics, why things go wrong, and offer effective strategies to get your relationship back on track.
Let Jeff or Lucy know if you are interested in these, and you will be contacted if /when a course is scheduled.
