Couples therapy

• Couples therapy, or couples counseling, focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts. The goal of couples therapy is to improve communication between partners, resolve conflicts, and strengthen the bonds in the relationship.

• The therapist helps couples identify patterns that may be harmful and provides tools to deal with challenges.

• Couples may consider therapy when they experience persistent conflicts, communication problems, emotional distance, infidelity, or when they are facing major life changes that may affect the relationship.

• The therapist usually begins by understanding the dynamics of the relationship, including each partner's perspective. The therapist can use various techniques, such as communication training, conflict resolution and exercises to promote empathy and understanding. Everything shared is confidential and remains between the couple and the therapist.
