What is Couples Counselling?

Close relationships are crucial to living a fulfilling, healthy life. If any conflicts arise, Couples Counselling can be a life-changing, transformative step toward fixing any issues in a relationship.

Relationship counselling provides therapeutic support for couples, helping them resolve conflicts, enhance communication, and foster stronger connections. Our team utilizes highly effective therapy treatments to improve and strengthen communication and respect, reduce conflict, restore trust and rediscover the joy and meaning in your relationship.

Using the Gottman Method and similar treatments, we work with couples of all ages, backgrounds, and unique circumstances, giving them a safe space to share their experiences and get to the root cause of any disharmony.

We uncover any negative communication, unmet emotional needs, intimacy, or financial issues, and assist with overcoming relationship trauma.

HOW DOES OUR COUPLES COUNSELLING SURREY WORK?

We start by gaining more background to understand your and your partner’s needs. In our first session, we see both individuals in a relationship together and uncover any distress, such as parenting conflicts, intimacy or communication issues. This collaborative approach helps build a strong therapeutic relationship with our clients.

Various practices are employed in couples counselling to address these issues, including integrating specific therapeutic models and individual experiences in a supportive environment.

Then, we work together to help improve those areas of distress. Both individuals outline what they would like to achieve from couples counselling. If they are unsure of these goals, our team can help determine them with you.

In our second session, we meet with each individual separately and give them a chance to share their experiences and thoughts privately.

In the third session and onwards, both parties resume counselling together. Our team employs Gottman’s Couples Counselling Training Method, Levels One and Two.

Acknowledging and validating our clients’ feelings is crucial in out couples therapy sessions. Emotions such as anxiety, frustration, and hopelessness often arise during life transitions or relationship challenges. By creating a supportive environment we encourage our clients to express their feelings to facilitate personal growth and healing.

Who Can Benefit From Couples Counselling Services?

Couples counselling is a type of therapy that focuses on the patterns, behaviours, and underlying issues between two people in a relationship. You don’t need to be married or in crisis to benefit. Many couples seek therapy to feel more connected, repair trust, or learn how to handle conflict in healthier ways.

Entering therapy can help couples address deep-seated conflicts and improve overall wellness by fostering better communication and understanding. Common reasons couples seek counselling include:

Frequent arguments or misunderstandings
Lack of intimacy or emotional closeness
Trust issues or past betrayals
Financial stress and decision-making conflict
Differences in parenting or future goals
Struggles after major life changes (e.g., relocation, health concerns)

By working with a couples therapist, partners can develop self-awareness, identify unhealthy patterns, and learn effective strategies to manage relationship struggles.
