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
