Couples Counselling

​​

What is Couples Counselling? 

​​

Couples counselling can provide support to couples who are experiencing difficulties within their relationship, adjusting to life transitions, or wanting to work through specific concerns and issues. 

​​

Therapy can provide a safe space for each partner to be able to be heard and understood by one another. Couples therapy can enhance connection as well as build communication skills to be able to continue to communicate more effectively outside of sessions. 

​​​

What to expect during couples counselling:

​

Couples counselling may explore the individual's family of origin stories, themes of conflict, patterns of communication. Supporting each member of the couple develop a deeper understanding of themselves and each other and thus finding a way forward through conflict or life transitions. 

 

Initial Couple Sessions may be 90 minutes, subsequent sessions are typically 60 minutes depending on the couple's needs. After the initial session, individual sessions may need to occur before returning to couple's sessions. This will be discussed after the initial session. 

​

Systemic frameworks which are used in couples therapy, can be used when working with an individual who would like to explore relationship difficulties, patterns and how they can more authentically engage within these relationships.
