Counselling for Couples

Couples counselling or couples therapy is a form of relationship counselling. It is aimed at improving communication and dealing with issues within an intimate relationship. This type of talking therapy involves a couples counsellor and both individuals in the relationship working together.

The motivations to seek support through counselling are unique to each relationship. However, several issues are common including:

• Major life events like starting a family, bereavement or changing careers
• Communication issues and conflicts
• Emotional and mental health issues
• Financial issues and disagreements
• Parenting challenges such as differing parenting styles and approaches to discipline
• Family conflict between parents and kids or within an extended family
• Trust or jealousy issues when an affair or breach of trust has been discovered
• Falling out of love or losing connection as a couple
