During couples counselling, you and your partner will talk through and explore problems you’re both facing together with your therapist. Sometimes your therapist might suggest meeting with you and your partner individually initially but the majority of therapy is carried out together with your partner. The therapist is not there to place blame, take sides or mediate difficult decisions. Your therapist will facilitate a safe space for all members to open up and express themselves individually. They will reflect and highlight the strengths in your relationship alongside what might be causing you distress to address any communication difficulties, repairing work or strategies for healthier relational intimacy.
Couples counseling is a collaborative therapeutic approach that provides a safe and supportive space for individuals in a romantic relationship to explore and address the challenges they are encountering together. While there may be instances where the therapist initially suggests individual sessions with each partner, the core of couples counseling involves joint sessions with both individuals and the therapist. The therapist’s role is not to assign blame, take sides, or make critical decisions on behalf of the couple. Instead, their primary focus is on creating a secure and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can openly express themselves.
Couples counseling is structured to facilitate constructive communication and understanding between partners. Therapists engage in active listening, reflecting on the strengths within the relationship, and identifying the sources of distress. This therapeutic approach encompasses addressing communication difficulties, offering tools for repairing relational challenges, and implementing strategies for fostering healthier intimacy within the relationship. Couples are encouraged to work collaboratively to strengthen their relationship and overcome the obstacles they face.
