COUPLEs & FAMILIES

Dealing with loved ones who might have difficult personalities can be emotionally taxing and draining. Even more so when we work with them in the same business or Family Office.

That's why I offer tailored guidance, coaching and support to help you build and maintain healthy relationships and boundaries with the people you love - even in difficult circumstances. I will guide and support you through a range of scenarios, including legacy planning, facilitating sensitive conversations about intergenerational wealth transfer, philanthropic investment pursuits, and more.

Typically I first meet with couples and families on an individual basis to work through difficult emotions and communication strategies, in order to prepare each party emotionally and strategically so that efficient and sustainable solutions can be found when we meet together as a couple or family unit again. In my experience, I have seen previously stonewalled or even hostile parties eventually reach a rhythm of unobstructed flow in discussions because they invested the time and effort to resolve the grievances in their own positions first. This provided the clarity and confidence to become “unstuck” from old patterns and to listen to the other from a position of strength before effectively communicating their own needs.

Modern families come in all shapes and sizes, including mixed or patchwork families with different heritages, origins, and generations, and I believe that every couple and family deserves the support and guidance necessary to navigate through challenges with compassion and respect.

“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood but of respect and joy in each other’s life.”
— Richard Bach

Couples Counselling

I provide a safe and supportive environment for couples to work through their conflicts, communicate more effectively, and develop stronger relationships. Whether you're dealing with issues related to trust, intimacy, communication, life planning or other challenges, I will help you navigate these issues with empathy and actionable steps.

Family Office Mediation and Conflict Resolution

With complete discretion, I help families mediate and resolve disagreements related to legacy planning, relationship management in family offices, conflict coaching, intergenerational conflict, grief, loss and other issues so that they can return to a healthy functioning unit in order to preserve the family’s wealth and reputation. I ensure that we hold each other accountable to respectful and productive conversations when we meet together, and place great importance on all family members and employees in a Family Office being heard and respected.

International Mobility

Both young and adult Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and their international families may occassionally need special emotional support to help them navigate the unique experiences of a globally mobile expat lifestyle, frequent relocations and cultural adjustments. My support for TCKs will help you and your family through sensitive discussions.

Blended and Reconciled Identities

I help couples and families navigate the challenges that come with blending cultures, religions, and other identities as they come together in businesses and Family Offices. You will find yourself in a safe space to communicate effectively and without judgement, in order to develop a deeper understanding of each other's perspectives and experiences.

My services for couples and families are discreet, confidential and tailored to help you create bonds that are stronger and more resilient together; or if necessary, to compassionately bring an end to relationships that have reached the end of their path.

At the Mencius Advisory, my goal is to help you minimise suffering by empowering you with the tools and strategies to break the cycles of defeat and dysfunctional struggle, so that you regain a sense of peace, clarity and energy in your relationships with partners and family.

Come right in, let’s meet together. I look forward to supporting you and those closest to you.
