 Couples Counselling

Feeling stuck or hopeless in your relationship? 

Do you feel as if you and your partner are drifting apart, are arguments far more frequent than they used to be? Perhaps you feel alone in your relationship, that it feels hard to offer or receive support from one another and it is difficult to talk openly. Maybe you feel a need to defend yourself or as if you feel blamed and are struggling to repair your relationship after an affair.

​

Couples Counselling seeks to assist the communication between you by providing an opportunity to understand each other’s perspective and crucially your intentions. Difficult emotions can be hard to manage, but particularly so within intimate relationships, as it is here that feelings are often at their strongest. This challenges your ability to think about what you or your partner are feeling, leading to assumptions about the underlying meaning of each other’s actions.

Couples Counselling

In Couples Counselling the therapist will explore the difficulties that you feel have brought you to counselling. They will work with you to understand some of the reasons why you perceive each other in certain ways. This might be due to your background histories - relationships with parents or experiences growing up. Therapy can help bring greater understanding of yourself and one another.

 

Therapy will provide you with the tools to understand each other, it will help you to improve your ability to both listen and express thoughts and feelings and increases the sense that you are not just in a relationship, but a partnership.

​

As psychologists, we can work with you to look at all of the different things that may be influencing your problem - this could be related to your history or things in your current life and we will provide you with understanding and strategies to help you back on to the path towards feeling better.

​

Our team can provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy, or other therapies such as ACT, CFT, EMDR, CAT, Psychodynamic. Existential and Integrative Psychotherapy. Be in touch if you are not sure what you need or what you are looking for and we will match you with the right therapist for your problem.
