Couples Counselling
Couples Counselling or Relationship Counselling is a type of psychotherapy
especially designed to work with couples that are experiencing difficulties
within their relationship. The therapy focuses on the dynamic between the
two people in the relationship helping to explore what both individuals want
from it. Therapists use a variety of therapeutic interventions to help people
gain insight into their relationship, resolve conflict and improve relationship
satisfaction.
Being individuals means that we have our own unique view on how we see
ourselves and others that are in our environment. No two people will ever
see their world in exactly the same way. This leads to difference and how we
manage these differences are key to the health of our relationships. When
working with couples I look to identify each person’s core needs and where
there may be areas of difference. I view the relationship as the client;
however, I may work with both individuals separately but always within the
context of the relationship.
I work with both parties to increase awareness around:
• The kind of life you want to build together
• The kind of partner you aspire to be in order to build the kind of life
and relationship you want to create
• Your individual blocks to becoming the kind of partner you aspire to be
• The skills and knowledge necessary to do the above tasks
Lack of communication, difficulty expressing feelings, illness, infidelity, sexual
issues and anger are some of the reasons that may contribute to the
deterioration of a relationship. My aim as a couples counsellor is to help
couples to negotiate these issues, resolve conflict and work towards a more
fulfilling relationship.
