Couples Counselling

Are You and Your Partner Struggling With… 

  • Frequent arguments or misunderstandings? 
  • A lack of emotional intimacy or connection? 
  • Trust issues stemming from past experiences? 
  • Difficulty navigating major life changes together? 
  • Communication breakdowns that leave you feeling unheard? 

What Does Couples Counselling Help With? 

Couples counselling can be beneficial for various relationship concerns, including: 

  • Communication issues 
  • Trust and intimacy challenges 
  • Conflict resolution 
  • Navigating life transitions (e.g., parenthood, relocation) 
  • Infidelity or betrayal 
  • Differences in values or goals 
  • Emotional disconnection or withdrawal 

If you relate to any of these challenges, couples counselling can provide a structured space to explore your concerns and develop effective strategies for resolution. Our therapists are committed to helping couples communicate openly, rebuild trust, and foster a loving, supportive partnership. 

What is Couples Counselling? 

Couples counselling, also known as marriage or relationship therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that helps partners address issues affecting their relationship. This therapeutic approach focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and enhancing emotional intimacy. Couples counselling aims to create a deeper understanding between partners, enabling them to navigate challenges together and strengthen their bond. 

How is Couples Counselling Done? 

During couples counselling sessions, both partners work collaboratively with a trained therapist. Sessions typically last between 50-90 minutes and can occur weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the couple’s needs. The therapist facilitates discussions, guiding couples to explore their thoughts and feelings while addressing underlying issues. Techniques such as role-playing, communication exercises, and problem-solving strategies may be utilized to enhance understanding and cooperation.
