Marriage Counselling and Couples Counselling

When do people engage in Couples Counselling and Marriage Counselling?

It is common for people in long term relationships to experience periods of difficulty. This is true of even the most well-suited couples. There are many reasons why this may be the case, such as bereavement, financial challenges, infidelity or stress.

However, challenges can also arise without warning and for seemingly no apparent reason. This can be due to a wide variety of reasons.

Why Counselling?

Making a mutual decision to come to couples counselling/marriage counselling together, is a commitment to one another. As such, it is often the first step towards understanding each other’s needs. It is a commitment to finding better and more effective ways of communicating with each other. We offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to discuss your thoughts, feelings and needs.

What sort of things can we work on in Marriage Counselling?

It can be common that one or other partners may engage in a period of one to one therapy. This is always a discussion point and is something that we can facilitate for you. We have a team of experienced and fully qualified counsellors available.
