What is Relationship Therapy (Couples & Family Therapy)

Relationship therapy helps you to understand your relationship needs and issues and give you tools and strategies to relate better to people you care about.

It is an opportunity to identify the relationship issues and create a clear pathway to regaining turst, compassion, and closeness.

Health of significant relationships are important for our health and wellbeing.

Studies have shown that 60% of people with depression indicated  that it was directly linked to their relationship problems. 

Secure attachments and healthy relationships create a safe haven for people to retreat to in times of stress. When it’s going well, the relationship brings a sense of peace and happiness. However, when the relationships become the very source of distress, it will put extreme pressure on a person. 

People sometimes worry that coming to relationship counselling may open up a can of worms and can make things worse.

A skilled therapist will make sure sessions are safe and communication is productive, not destructive.

• Are you having the same conversations over and over with nothing resolved?
• Are you feeling hopeless and powerless to free yourself from negative cycles that spirals out of control?
• Is relationship worries taking up a lot of mental and emotional energy?
• Is relationship troubles keeping you from living your best life?

Getting help from a qualified counsellor specialising in couples and family therapy can help you reach your goals sooner. 

Your therapist will work with you to come up with a treatment plan that will help you to reach your goals.

Couples and relationship counselling is different from individual therapy and requires unique skills and experience of a couples counsellor to support clients effectively.
