please can you help me with this scenario

Case Study Scenario

You are employed in a counseling agency providing professional counseling services to people experiencing personal, relationship, or work-related problems. This counseling agency abides by the Australian Counselling Association code of ethics and practice (available on the websitewww.theaca.net.au).

You have received this information before your counseling session from your client (by telephone).

John is 46 years old, he has recently married his partner, who he met via an online agency. They have lived together in a small country town for nearly two years. Lately John feels things have been very strained between them and he has concerns that his partner is using him for money. They want their family (mother, father, and younger brother) to come live with them, even though John's house is very small. They already send the family money each month. John is a mid-level manager with a reasonable income, however they are struggling with a house mortgage, car loans, and the various costs living.

His partner has not attempted to find a job and usually spends most of their time meeting with friends to gamble and play cards. They also go out at night to local clubs to drink, and they are increasingly spending more money. John is concerned the group may be meeting up with other men, and also that the money being spent is actually being saved for preapration to leave him. John does not go out with them as he often feels too tired. They have not been intimate for six months.

When John raises any issues, his partner either refuses to discuss them or tells him he is imagining things. They say if he loved them, he would be happy to let her spend money. John is getting more and more depressed and feels he cannot talk to anyone about it.
