Marriage and couples counselling, also known as couples therapy, is a specialized form of therapy aimed at helping couples improve their relationship, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their bond.
At Wave Counselling & Wellness, our therapists provide compassionate and effective marriage and couples counselling in St. John’s, NL and the surrounding areas to support couples in navigating challenges and enhancing their connection.
What is Marriage and Couples Counselling?
Marriage and couples counselling is a collaborative process between a therapist and a couple, focusing on addressing issues within the relationship and improving communication, intimacy and overall satisfaction.
Our Marriage and Couples therapists create a safe and non-judgmental space where couples can explore their concerns, identify underlying patterns and work towards positive change.
How Does Marriage and Couples Counselling Work?
-
Assessment and Goal Setting: The therapy process typically begins with an initial assessment, where our couples therapists meet with the couple to understand their concerns, goals, and relationship dynamics. Together, they collaboratively identify areas of focus and establish goals for therapy.
-
Communication Skills: Couples counselling helps couples improve communication and conflict resolution skills. Our therapists teach effective communication techniques, active listening, and assertiveness training to help couples express themselves openly and constructively.
-
Relationship Dynamics: Therapy explores the underlying dynamics and patterns within the relationship that may contribute to conflicts or dissatisfaction. Our therapists help couples understand their individual needs, attachment styles, and relational patterns to foster greater empathy and understanding.
-
Conflict Resolution: Couples counseling provides a structured framework for addressing conflicts and disagreements within the relationship. Our therapists facilitate productive dialogue, help couples identify triggers and guide them towards finding mutually satisfactory solutions.
Our therapists also help couples work toward improving communication through divorce, co-parenting and uncoupling.
-
Intimacy and Connection: Therapy focuses on enhancing intimacy, emotional connection, and affection within the relationship. Our therapists help couples rebuild trust, create a deeper connection, reignite passion and cultivate a deeper sense of closeness and intimacy.
