CORAL AND PEARLS COUNSELLING

I grew up in a big family in country South Australia where we were one of the only ethnic families in our small town.

Naturally, as a second-generation Iranian, I grappled with the intersection of culture, meaning and purpose in a context where I was constantly perceived as being different.

Throughout all of this, family served as that solid base, a place of stability throughout it all. Family was busy, bustling and crazy at times, but it was everything.

As I got older, I came to appreciate how foundational families are to society as a whole, and how when relationships work, it matters. Relationships have power. They influence not just the life of a couple, but everyone around them — their friends, family, and the community at large.

Before shifting into the counselling space, I worked as a social worker and saw the fall out when relationships dissolved. If couples got the support they really needed, they had great potential.

I became curious about how couples could be supported to love each other better. Not necessarily to avoid the inevitable hardships and difficulties of life, but to develop the skills and understanding to better navigate hardship together.

Through this, Coral and Pearls Counselling was born. If you believe your relationship can be better, me too. Let’s work together to unlock it’s full potential.
