One common misconception about couples counselling is that it is only something to do when things get really bad. Couples counselling can be helpful and beneficial no matter where you are in your relationship.
Relationships are rarely permanently easy and conflict-free. Even great couples argue and have issues. However, difficulties that seem chronic, persistent or insurmountable can start to affect all areas of life. You may find then that your overall happiness and even health can suffer. It can be incredibly helpful to seek outside support to overcome difficulties and create a healthy and fulfilling relationship. This could come from friends, a support group, or you may decide to attend couples counselling.
Couples counselling can help you by providing a caring and supportive environment to help you find a way through any difficulties you may be facing in your relationships.

How does Couples Counselling Work?
Couples counselling can be delivered in various different therapeutic styles. Every couple has different needs and wants, so couples counselling looks and feels different for every client. You might wish to come to couples counselling together or have a combination of solo and couple sessions. Whatever you choose, your counselling sessions will be confidential and non-judgemental.
During couples counselling, we discuss what your expectations in your relationship are. We talk about what works, what doesn’t work and what isn’t working as well as you would like. Couples counselling provides a safe space for you to voice concerns in the relationship and work through issues. You will learn to communicate more effectively and restore love, affinity and intimacy where it has been lost.
