The aim of couples therapy is to help your relationship but it also has many other benefits. It often helps to know eachother better, improves effective communication and mutual understanding. Opens to variety and diversity in a relationship. Supports your growth as individuals and as partners. Brings harmony and helps you as a couple overcome conflicts and difficult situations which are often the source of unhappiness and suffering.

Usually the sessions require attendance of both parties, and both of you establish what you want to achieve. On rare occasions temporary individual work on your relationship aims can also be beneficial.

​

The most common values therapy can bring into your relationship are:

• opportunity for growth of your relationship

• getting to know yourself and each other better

• mutual understanding, communication, acceptance, sharing experiences and thoughts

• facilitates forgiveness

• better expressing yourself in the partnership

• paying attention to each other's needs and desires in a respectful manner

• renewing closeness and intimacy

• being able to rely on a partner in times of need

• realisation of the importance of your partner's role in your life

​

Condition: Both of you need to be willing to apply changes and to work on your relationship

 

As a result of the work that clients are doing while in therapy, they may also decide to part. Then the goal of therapy will be to support partners in the process of separation and reconstruction of life after the end of the relationship. Successfully working through your breakup crisis helps you organise your family life, build relationships in the future. Unresolved conflicts from earlier periods can significantly hinder or even prevent satisfactory functioning later.
