How counselling can help

How SYMBIS works

SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is an online assessment you each complete before your sessions. It gives you a personalised report on how you relate in key areas.

In our sessions we go through your results together and talk about communication, conflict, money, roles and expectations, intimacy, family of origin and, if you’d like, faith.

What to expect

What sessions look like

Marriage preparation runs as a package of sessions. See the Fees page for details. Sessions are available in person in Strathfield or online, in English or Korean.
