COVID-19 UPDATE...
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer couples counselling at the moment.
Couples counselling or couples therapy is a form of relationship counselling. It is aimed at improving communication and dealing with issues within an intimate relationship.
This type of talking therapy involves a couple counsellor and both individuals in the relationship working together.
How couples counselling can help
Counselling with The Spark gives couples the opportunity to understand and explore the relationship issues they are facing.
Working with an impartial, supportive and skilled counsellor, couples can deal with communication problems, major life events and other issues causing unhappiness.
Couples therapy focuses on creating a safe, non-judgemental space. Individuals are able to freely express their own unique feelings and emotions.
Why couples try counselling
The motivations to seek support through couples counselling are unique to each relationship. However several issues are common including:
- Major life events like starting a family, bereavement or relationship breakdown
- Communication issues
- Mental health problems
- Financial issues
- Parenting styles
- Family conflict between parents and kids or within an extended family
- Trust or jealousy issues when an affair is suspected or has been discovered.
- Falling out of love, losing connection as a couple
Increasingly couples are using counselling on a semi-regular basis to enhance their relationship.
Couples counselling is not purely for relationships in crisis and can help deal with smaller issues before they become significant.
