Couple Counselling

As couple counsellors, our role is to support both partners to be able to hear each other’s perspective in a different way or to reach a shared understanding of the relationship. We will explore the difficulties together in a non –blaming environment so that decisions about the relationship’s future can be made together. Our commitment is to help you make lasting changes.

Couple counselling can enable couples to resolve issues that have been ongoing for some time such as:

recurring arguments that never find resolution

one or both partners feeling they have fallen out of love

communication difficulties

sexual difficulties

feeling there is no fun in the relationship.

Couple counselling is also effective in supporting couples whose relationship has reached crisis point such as:

the discovery of an affair

or one partner thinking about leaving

Other couples come to couple counselling to manage the impact of a life event or life stage change.These include

the impact of illness

family death

infertility

‘empty nest’

retiring

work changes

having a child

managing changes in family dynamics.

Here the work is often about learning to tackle difficulties together rather than struggle on alone.

We also work with couples preparing to move in together / get married who want to ensure they have shared expectations for their future relationship together.
