Research has shown that couples who work with relationship counsellors can be effective in improving relationships. One study found that 75% of couples who underwent therapy reported feeling more satisfied with their relationship after just eight sessions. Another study found that couples who participated in therapy were more likely to stay together than those who did not receive counselling. A therapy session with a marriage counsellor can save relationships and fix problematic patterns, such as sexual problems, self esteem issues, or assist in life transitions.

Seeing a couples counsellor

Many couples will only approach a couples’ counsellor when their relationship has reached what appears to be breaking point. You don’t need to wait until things get bad, however, before deciding to make contact. Couples’ counselling allows individuals the opportunity to open up to each other about their relationship in a safe, non-judgemental space, to discuss its strengths as well as its weaknesses and to look at ways of maintaining and improving relationships, not simply saving them.

Relationship counselling

Although described as couple’s counselling, clients can arrange to come to counselling together, individually, or choose a combination of individual and couples sessions. However you approach your counselling sessions, you can be certain that you will be discussing your relationship in confidentiality.

Clients coming to relationship counselling often present with very different objectives. For some, there will be a specific problem within their relationship that they are looking to address. For others, there will be more generalised relationship issues to be overcome. The aim of any couples’ counselling is facilitate couples in moving forward in their relationship with confidence and openness.
