What is Couples Counselling?

All relationships change over time. Eventually, one may feel that they are not getting what they need from their relationship. They may be struggling to communicate this in a healthy and constructive way and as a result the relationship may suffer. One half of the couple may engage in negative behaviours that is harmful to the relationship e.g drinking, substance abuse, gambling or excessive working.

It is the role of the counsellor to help the couple clarify the issues or difficulties they are experiencing. This is an opportuntity for the couple to rediscover the needs and wants of their partner. The counsellor provides the couple with a safe environment to explore and reshape the dynamics of their evolving relationship.

At Oldcastle Counselling Centre our Couple Counsellors have years of experience working with married, co-habiting, straight and gay, new or long term relationships.
