Relationship Issues Couples Therapy Can Help With:

Sometimes it’s unclear what is wrong with a relationship, but something doesn’t feel right. Couples therapy can help you identify specific problems in your relationship as well as identify what has changed.

If your having relationship problems, it doesn’t necessarily mean one person is to blame. It could just mean your relationship needs some care and attention. Relationship counselling is the best place to start.

If you are experiencing any of the following relationship problems, our relationship counsellors can help.

· Problems with communication: if you’re arguing, bickering, fighting, stuck in dysfunctional patterns or living separate lives, your relationship has communication problems.

· Sexual issues & intimacy: noemotional intimacy or interest in sex has gone /managing different expectations.

· Life changing experiences: losing a loved one, health issues, the birth of a child, children leaving home, work, friends and family can all change the way you and your partner relate to each other.

· Broken trust: all trust has been lost because of an emotional or physical affair, a secret drug addiction or secrets in general.

· Mental Health Issues: one or both of you are struggling with anxiety, stress or depression, or other mental health issues.

How often should you go to Couples / Marriage Counselling?

In the beginning, most couples prefer weekly appointments. As they progress, they reduce the weekly appointments to fortnightly appointments. Some couples prefer fortnightly sessions.

You can discuss how often you should have couples counselling with your therapist, as it will depend on your own personal circumstances. It helps to make appointments for the same day and time so you can both make relationship therapy part of your weekly schedule.

If you need to be flexible due to work or family commitments, let your therapist know; they should be able to accommodate this.

How many Couples Counselling Sessions do I need?

The number of relationship counselling sessions you need will depend on the following:

· The type of problems you and your partner wish to resolve

· The amount of time you and your partner have been struggling with these issues

· The outcome you wish to achieve

There isn’t a one size fits all solution to how many sessions you will need. Some couples have a few sessions to get a better understanding of their relationship issues and learn new strategies to overcome them.

Other couples might prefer to have more sessions to work through some long-standing issues. Your relationship counsellor will be happy to discuss your progress and end the couples therapy sessions if you have achieved the outcome that works for your relationship.
