Couples Therapy

Couples counselling, or couples therapy, aims to help couples who are invested in resolving issues and improving their relationship. It is a form of talk therapy that involves partnering with a licensed therapist or counsellor who will work with both partners to understand each perspective and identify and address problem areas in the relationship.

The primary focus of Couples counselling is to enhance communication and promote understanding and compassion between partners. This is achieved through multiple techniques, such as active listening, empathy, and reframing. Couples counselling can help partners learn to communicate effectively, manage conflict, and build or rebuild intimacy and trust.

Some common issues that couples seek counselling for include communication, trust, infidelity, financial animosity, parenting disagreements, and sexual issues. During therapy, couples can work on developing conflict resolution skills, learning to compromise, and addressing any underlying emotional issues.

Couples counselling typically involves both partners attending sessions together; however, individual sessions may also be recommended. The length of therapy will vary depending on the couple’s needs and goals but will typically involve weekly or bi-weekly sessions for several weeks or months. Overall, couples counselling can be a helpful tool for couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship and who are committed to working through those challenges together.
