An integral part of marriage or couple counselling is creating a safe space to openly discuss how you are experiencing your marriage, your spouse, and yourself.
Main Reason Couples Reach Out for Counselling
My experience with couples has shown that “communication” is usually (not always) the primary reason couples seek counselling. However, when communication is healthier, couples can resolve other challenges. Hence, I focus on the couple’s communication model in my marriage and couple counselling approach.
Communication problems are common in relationships, and they can be challenging for many couples. Various reasons can contribute to this issue, such as differences in communication styles, personal insecurities, or even personality types. Seeking professional counselling can provide valuable support and guidance in addressing and overcoming these communication issues in your relationship.
Communication Breakdown: What Now?
Are you and your partner constantly fighting with no hope of fixing your communication issues? Do you feel anxious whenever you need to discuss something with your partner, and no matter what you do, it always becomes a big problem? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Communication challenges in relationships can be distressing, but there is hope for positive change.
