Counselling and Psychotherapy for Couples
It is common for a couple to encounter difficulties and obstacles in the course of their relationship, either associated with maintaining a close and integrated relationship or with the need to enrich and redefine the relationship. A couple usually comes for treatment when:
- they want to learn the skills and tools in order to have a good or even better relationship or marriage.
- they feel that they are stuck and what they have tried has not worked
- one of them feels emotionally or physically / sexually disconnected and does not seem to be able to change it on their own
- they have issues of serious conflicts, or they cannot conflict because one of them does not participate
- they have a problem with their child
- they think that their partner is the one who does everything wrong in their relationship or marriage.
- they think they would be happier with someone else.
Our goal is to help them develop communication, negotiation and conflict resolution skills and cultivate emotional and sexual intimacy. Through therapy, the couple members learn to listen to each other, to understand the behavior and desires of both themselves and their partner’s. Couples learn how to avoid being competitive, identify common goals in life and hare responsibilities. They gradually gain a deeper understanding of both their personal needs and those of their partner’s and learn to respond to them in a way that promotes equality and reciprocity in their relationship.
