A Proven Path Back to Connection
1
Understand each person's perspective.
It is important to understand the concerns both individuals have, and what they would like to change about the relationship in couples counselling.
2
Improve emotional regulation
Every relationship has a pattern and a way of managing or repressing emotions. Understanding this is key to making changes.
3
Build closeness
Emotional and physical intimacy doesn't happen by chance. Understand what motivates each person in the relationship.
4
Set a new norm for a much healthier relationship
Partners create a new, healthier pattern of relating in couples counselling and make this the new norm in practice.
How will Couples Counselling help?
➜ To stop going round in circles, you both need to be heard.
Couples counselling creates the right environment for this to happen.
➜ To stop arguing, you need a plan.
Couples counselling will give you a plan to focus on the things that really make a difference to communication.
➜ Turn hostile silence into genuine engagement.
Couples counselling will show you how to restore engagement (even where you've drifted apart and all seems lost).
➜ To resolve conflict, you need effective strategies for emotional regulation.
Couples counselling will teach you what needs to happen before real communication begins.
➜ For greater intimacy, you need to understand each other’s needs better.
Couples counselling will foster a much greater understanding with a structured approach to voicing important needs.
➜ To recover from affairs, you need a proper process and, crucially, an expert practitioner.
Trying to do this without professional support can actually make things worse when deep feelings of betrayal need to be heard.
➜ For a successful outcome, you need the right guidance and advice.
The vast majority of relationships in distress can be turned around fairly quickly, but it's important to act. You'll soon be able to make the changes that build closeness again - and you'll know what needs to happen to break the old pattern.
Couples Counselling helps in these situations:
➜ It seems impossible to get along anymore
➜ Thoughts or talk of separation
➜ The love seems to have faded
➜ There has been an affair
➜ Physical intimacy is lacking
➜ Different parenting style are causing disputes
➜ Arguing over the finances
➜ Unhealthy coping strategies are getting in the way
➜ The relationship seems very volatile
➜ Wider family issues are causing arguments
➜ Doubts before getting married
Expert support is vital
If you're married or in a long-term relationship, finding an experienced marriage or relationship counsellor is critical. With the right kind of counselling support, you can start to create a much better relationship from the very first session.
Commit to the process, work through the stages with an experienced counsellor, and you will be amazed at how much you can achieve together.
Make Improvements in Couples Counselling
➜ In couples counselling, you'll learn the special skills required to resolve conflict and make your relationship a real success you can both be proud of. This means that far less of your time and energy will be spent going round in circles in a kind of emotional stalemate.
➜ Understand your triggers and patterns, then resolve conflict with mindful techniques for greater connection and intimacy. In this way, you can get your lives back on track with a clearer vision for the future.
Is Marriage Counselling the Same Thing?
Marriage Counselling and Couples Counselling essentially refer to the same therapeutic process. However, it's important to many people for the status of their relationship to be acknowledged.
At a deeper level, it often useful to explore what the relationship status means to each partner personally, as there can be different expectations and perceptions. These expectations and perceptions can and do have an impact on the relationship itself.
