What is couples counselling?
Couples counselling is a type of counselling that helps couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship. It typically involves a trained therapist or counsellor working with both partners in a relationship to identify and address the challenges they are facing.
The counsellor may use techniques to help the couple improve communication, strengthen their emotional connection, and resolve conflicts. Couples counselling may focus on issues such as communication problems, parenting, infidelity, sexual issues, or general relationship dissatisfaction.
Both partners are encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings openly and honestly during the sessions. The counsellor helps them to identify patterns of behaviour that may be contributing to their problems. The counsellor may also provide homework or exercises to help the couple practice new skills outside the therapy session.
This service will help couples build healthier relationships and can be a beneficial tool for all stages of relationships.
