How Can Couples Therapy Help

In my journey as a counsellor, I’ve witnessed firsthand how Couples Therapy can be a transformative experience. Let me share with you the four key ways it can bring about positive change.

Improved Communication

Couples therapy teaches effective communication skills, helping partners express their feelings, needs, and concerns openly and constructively. This can lead to a deeper understanding and fewer misunderstandings.

Conflict Resolution Techniques

Therapy provides tools for managing disagreements in a healthy way, allowing couples to resolve conflicts without escalation. This promotes a more peaceful and supportive environment where both partners feel valued and respected.

Rebuilding Trust and Intimacy

For couples experiencing trust issues or emotional distance, therapy offers a safe space to address these concerns. Through guided exercises and open dialogue, couples can work toward rebuilding trust and deepening emotional and physical intimacy.

Strengthening the Relationship Foundation

Couples therapy helps partners identify and reinforce the positive aspects of their relationship, fostering a sense of connection and unity. This can lay a strong foundation for navigating future challenges and maintaining a fulfilling partnership.

Frequently asked questions

What Can I Expect in My First Counselling Session?

In your first session with me at Pegah Counselling, firstly, you’ll find a safe and welcoming space. We’ll usually start by discussing what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable. There’s no pressure – just a conversation where your voice is heard and valued. Think of it as the first step on your journey towards self-discovery and healing.
How Long Does Each Counselling Session Last?

Each counselling session is designed to fit into a standard therapeutic hour, which typically lasts for 50 minutes. This duration allows for a thorough exploration of your concerns while leaving time for summarizing the session and discussing next steps. It’s structured to ensure you receive focused and meaningful support within a manageable timeframe, making it easier to integrate therapy into your busy schedule.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions required varies greatly depending on your individual needs, goals, and the nature of the issues you’re addressing. Some clients find significant relief and achieve their counselling objectives within a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support. I would say it takes an average of 6 – 12 sessions.
Is Everything We Discuss Confidential?

Yes, absolutely! Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the counselling process. Everything discussed in the counselling sessions is kept strictly confidential. I ensure a safe and secure environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or breach of privacy.
