Couple Counseling

A couple’s relationship is a process of constant change.

Couple counseling provides a safe framework where the relationship can be heard, understood, and cared for.

It’s a journey of exploration and discovery, where two people discover new paths of communication, understand each other more deeply, and build bridges of love and trust.

What is Couple Counseling?

Couple counseling is a therapeutic process that helps partners experience a quality of relationship where love for oneself and love for the partner are two inseparable parts of a whole.

In a safe and supportive space, each person is given the opportunity to better understand themselves, their partner, and the dynamics of their relationship.

What are its Benefits?

The therapeutic process offers space for expressing feelings and understanding the deeper needs of each partner, contributing to strengthening emotional connection.

Through the sessions, the couple can recognize behavior patterns that may be creating difficulties and develop more effective ways of managing differences.

Couple counseling helps partners better understand each other, improve their communication, and manage the challenges they face.

It prepares the couple for important stages such as cohabitation, marriage, having children, or changes that are about to happen, such as moving, career change, etc.

Whether the couple wishes to work on strengthening their relationship or explore if they can continue together, the therapeutic intervention provides valuable guidance and support.

Who is it for?

It is for couples who wish to maintain a healthy relationship, enhancing understanding and mutual support between partners. It helps the couple establish strong foundations of cooperation before difficulties arise.

In addition to the preventive role of couple counseling, couple therapy can be beneficial for partners facing challenges in their relationship, frequent conflicts, trust issues, emotional distancing, differences in expectations, or difficulties in managing significant changes in their lives.

What Methods and Tools Does it Use?

Couple counseling applies scientifically proven approaches, such as

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for understanding and modifying negative patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior, and training in problem-solving skills,
  • Systemic Therapy, which examines the relationship as a dynamic system of interactions
  • Marte Meo counseling, which focuses on developing dialogue and cooperation skills with the aim of creating a mature and strong relationship.

How are the Sessions Conducted?

Couple counseling sessions are conducted in a safe and neutral environment, where each partner has the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings.

They usually last 60-90 minutes and their frequency is adapted to the needs of the couple.
