Often people tend to think that couples only need couples counselling when their relationship is in crisis. However, counselling can be beneficial at any stage in a relationship simply to improve communication skills, learn to recognize and resolve conflicts and build healthy, loving relationships.
Other times, there are specific problems that are making the relationship struggle. Problems couples often face include:
- Sexual difficulties
- Conflicts regarding child-rearing or blended families
- Infidelity
- Substance abuse
- Anger management
Couples counselling can help strengthen your relationship and improve the way you and your partner communicate. Learn to be more objective and deepen your understanding of each other. Learn to be more supportive and kind. Modify dysfunctional behaviour and decrease emotional avoidance. Couples counselling can help you and your partner feel confident and committed to your future together.
What should you expect during couples counselling?
Couples counselling is typically short-term and follows a specific treatment plan addressing your relationship’s needs or weaknesses. Your therapist will work with you to form an agreed-upon treatment plan.
You and your partner will attend sessions together. Your therapist guides the conversation and will direct both of you to express your feelings. Your therapist may ask questions to help identify any underlying issues that could be feeding into the problem. Let us help you over the obstacles that you are having in your relationship.
