Dr. Surabhi Mathur offers marriage, couples, pre-marital and family counselling at her clinic in Nirman Nagar, Jaipur. As a psychiatrist, she can also recognise and treat depression, anxiety or addiction when they are affecting the relationship.
Understanding Marriage and Relationship Counselling
Relationship problems often come from patterns rather than single events: how a couple communicates, handles conflict, shares responsibilities, and deals with families and finances.
Sometimes an individual mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety, anger difficulties or alcohol use, sits underneath the conflict. Identifying and treating it can transform the relationship.
Common signs and symptoms
- Repeated arguments that never get resolved
- Feeling unheard, distant or lonely in the relationship
- Loss of trust, jealousy or infidelity
- Conflict with in-laws or extended family
- Disagreements about money, children or roles
- Reduced intimacy
- Anxiety or uncertainty before marriage
Causes and risk factors
- Poor communication and unresolved conflict
- Stress from work, finances or caregiving
- Differing expectations and family pressures
- Mental health problems or substance use in either partner
- Major life transitions such as a new baby or relocation
When should you see a psychiatrist?
Consider booking an appointment if these difficulties have lasted more than two weeks, keep coming back, or are affecting your work, studies, relationships or daily routine. You do not need to wait until things feel unbearable; early treatment is usually shorter and more effective.
If you or someone you know is in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, go to the nearest emergency department or call Tele-MANAS, the Government of India’s free 24×7 mental health helpline, on 14416.
How Dr. Surabhi Mathur makes a diagnosis
Your first consultation is an unhurried conversation about your symptoms, how long they have been present, your medical and family history, sleep, stress and any substance use. Where needed, Dr. Mathur uses standard rating scales and may suggest blood tests to rule out physical causes such as thyroid or vitamin problems. You leave with a clear explanation of what is happening and a treatment plan you have agreed to.
