Couples Counselling

Going to therapy as part of a couple in good times can be helpful, this is even truer in times of difficulty or change.  A lot can be gained by speaking freely and openly with an impartial person.  A therapist can help both people express more freely what they want to say to one another.   When you realise you are in trouble you often can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel and your difficulties may seem overwhelming.  It may make us turn to divorce as a way out of what appears to us as an impasse.

Is this an impasse? Is divorce the only step left to take?  Does your partner accept where you are?  Having a couple therapist to guide you through this stage can help you find understanding and acceptance.  Sometimes a few sessions will help you discover other options or help you to see your relationship differently.

While divorce is primarily a legal matter, the subject is also full of emotion that often remains unattended to for a long time, causing great distress to the whole family. Therapy, where you can talk about the whole family brings much needed emotional stability, support and understanding, something which the legal service alone cannot supply.
