Marital Counselling

Marriage counselling is a kind of psychotherapy that helps resolve conflicts between couples and improves their relationship. It is often offered by family and marriage therapists to enable a couple to make decisions about rebuilding their relationship or going their own separate ways.

It usually includes both partners, but sometimes one of the partners may choose to work with a therapist alone. The treatment plan depends on the situation. While our intentions towards our spouse are usually good, there are several influences, behaviours and stresses that can test even the strongest bonding. Even the happiest couples will tell you that marriage is not smooth sailing all the time.

The main issues that couples usually bring to therapy are high levels of conflicts and growing mutual distance. Major life changes and daily stresses can put pressure on the relationship too.
