Marriage Counseling
Overview
Marriage is one of the most meaningful relationships in life — but it also requires understanding, communication, and emotional balance.
When disagreements, misunderstandings, or emotional distance arise, they can lead to stress, conflict, and unhappiness for both partners.
Marriage counselling (also known as couples therapy) helps partners resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection.
At Dr. Naazneen Ladak’s psychiatry clinic in Andheri, Mumbai, couples receive confidential and compassionate guidance to restore harmony and rekindle their relationship through evidence-based psychiatric and psychological care.
Causes
Every marriage faces challenges, but certain emotional and psychological factors can deepen conflict or disconnection. Common causes include:
- Poor communication or constant misunderstandings
- Emotional neglect or lack of appreciation
- Financial stress or lifestyle differences
- Infidelity or loss of trust
- Personality differences and conflicting expectations
- Mental health issues like anxiety, depression, or stress
- Substance abuse or anger issues
- Work-life imbalance or family pressure
Understanding the root cause helps your psychiatrist design an effective counselling plan that promotes healing and growth.
