First-Timers' Guide
Q: Is it normal to feel disconnected in a long-term relationship?
​
A: Yes, it’s common to experience periods of disconnection in long-term relationships. Over time, life changes, stress, and routine can lead to emotional distance. In our sessions, we’ll identify what’s causing this distance and find ways to rebuild intimacy and closeness.
​​
Q: Can trust be rebuilt after infidelity?
​
A: Trust can be rebuilt, but it takes time, commitment, and honesty from both partners. We’ll work through the hurt and pain, address underlying issues, and develop ways to restore trust and strengthen the foundation of your relationship.
​​
Q: What if one of us feels like giving up on the relationship?
​
A: It’s important to acknowledge those feelings and explore why they’re there. We’ll create a space where both of you can express your concerns and desires. Together, we’ll work to understand whether the relationship can be repaired or if separation is the healthiest choice for both of you.
​
Q: Can therapy/coaching/counseling really help if we’ve been struggling for years?
​
A: It’s never too late to seek help. Long-standing issues may take time to unpack, but couples counseling or coaching can provide a fresh perspective, new tools, and a structured approach to resolving even deeply rooted problems. Many couples find renewed hope and connection.
​
Q: What if one of us doesn’t want to come to therapy/coaching/counseling?
​
A: It’s common for one partner to feel more hesitant. If one of you is resistant, we can discuss those concerns openly and respectfully. Even if only one partner starts, positive changes can still occur, and it may encourage the other partner to join later on.
Process
Our thoughts are the foundation of our feelings, words, actions, and behaviors, shaping how we connect with our partner and navigate our relationship. They influence our perspectives, belief systems, and ultimately, the quality of our relationship. Guided by this philosophy, my couples coaching programs helps you and your partner understand your individual and shared thought patterns, so you can gain mastery over them, resolve conflicts, and build a lasting, fulfilling relationship with ease.
STEP 1: COGNITIVE SCIENCE
Deep understanding & awareness of the workings of the core faculties that make up your subtle being : sub-conscious mind, conscious mind, and intellect
STEP 2: EPISTEMOLOGY
Explore your belief systems that form the basis of your thoughts, behaviour & personality traits to gain heightened self-awareness, as a stepping stone to making change
STEP 3 : COGNITIVE RESTRUCTURING
Learn best practices, techniques and methodologies to change the pattern of your thoughts from negative (destructive) to positive (constructive) and overcome life challenges permanently, with ease

Hi, I'm Avantika
Dear Reader,
​
First, I want to commend you on your courage. Relationships go through ups and downs, but it takes real bravery to seek help and create meaningful change.
​
Having launched three companies and managed teams through difficult times, I’ve experienced firsthand the pressures that stress and burnout can place on relationships. I’ve faced relationship struggles—times when I longed for someone who truly understood the challenges of maintaining connection amidst life’s demands. I didn’t want generic advice or empty promises; I needed someone who had navigated these waters and could help me find real solutions.
​
That’s why I took action. I researched best practices, underwent intensive training, and applied these insights to my own life and relationship challenges. Now, with over 3,200 hours of experience and success helping couples from Singapore, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia, I’ve refined effective, personalized methods that can help you and your partner overcome conflicts, rebuild trust, and reignite emotional intimacy.
These sessions are tailored to your unique dynamics and goals, allowing for genuine transformation.
​
My approach is simple: I believe a good coach, like a good doctor, is someone you eventually don’t need anymore. My mission is to guide you toward lasting solutions, not keep you locked into unnecessary sessions.
​
Why not take the first step? The first consultation is free, with no obligation to commit. I believe coaching is a partnership, just like your relationship, and it’s important that we connect for the process to work.
​
Warm regards,
Avantika
