Being in a relationship can be brilliant, but it’s not always smooth sailing. Life throws all sorts at us – stress, misunderstandings, past baggage – and sometimes it’s hard to stay on the same page. That’s where couples counselling comes in. Think of it as a safe space to figure things out, together.
So, What Exactly Is It?
Understanding Couples Counselling: Couples counselling is all about helping two people understand each other better, talk more openly, and work through the bumps in the road. You don’t have to be married or in crisis – it’s just about improving things and feeling more connected.
Some Common Reasons People Come to Us:
- Constant arguments or snapping at each other
- Feeling like you’re drifting apart
- Trust issues – big or small
- Dealing with past hurts or betrayals
- Differences in parenting styles
- Lack of intimacy
- Struggling with big life changes like a new job, moving house, or having a baby
What Happens in a Session?
Understanding Couples Counselling: In your first few sessions, we’ll take a look at what’s been going on and what you’d like to get out of therapy. There’s no judgement here – just open conversations and some helpful tools to get you communicating better, understanding each other more, and rebuilding that connection.
