Couples therapy
Based on Gottman’s Method, Imago Relationship Therapy, Family System’s theory
Reasons for seeking marriage/couples counselling:
– “We keep having fights”
– “Our communication breaks down”
– “We love each other but have no idea how to repair our relationship”
– “The trust is broken between us”
– “We have too many painful memories that get in the way of us moving forward”
– “After hours of arguments, there is still no resolution”
– “One of us often resorts to violence, and things get out of hands”
There are many reasons for couples to seek counselling. Sometimes, you may be taking each other for granted, or there could be some dysfunctional patterns in the way you relate to each other. Other times, there might be some painful past incidents that are preventing you from repairing your relationship and moving forward…whatever the reason may be, by sitting together and talking calmly, you will be able to identify the obstacles that are preventing you from getting closer, and start working on making a difference in the way you relate to each other…step by step. The most important aspect is for both of you to be open-minded and ready to change!
