Couples Therapy

parineuvontacouples counseling

Therapy where both partners work together to resolve relationship issues.

Couples therapy helps partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship.

When to seek couples therapy?

  • Communication problems
  • Recurring arguments
  • Trust issues or infidelity
  • Sexual problems
  • Different life goals
  • Considering separation

When should you consider couples therapy?

You can consider couples therapy when communication is stuck, arguments repeat in the same way, trust has been broken, or you are facing a life change such as the birth of a child. Couples therapy can also help when you are thinking about separation and want to talk about it in a safe setting.

How does couples therapy proceed?

In the sessions the therapist acts as an impartial facilitator of the conversation. They help both partners put their own needs into words and listen to the other. The number and frequency of sessions are agreed together with the therapist.

Tips for getting started

  • Ask the therapist in advance about their ways of working and prices
  • Agree together on what you want to achieve
  • If your partner does not want to come, an individual session can also help
