What do you do in couples counselling?
The goal of Vancouver couples therapy is to help couples identify problems in their relationship that are causing issues and then offer strategies and methods to address those issues and improve their relationship. Couples therapy typically begins with an initial session where couples meet with a therapist and discuss their relationship issues. During the session, the therapist may assess the degree of conflict in the relationship, take a detailed history of the couple’s relationship and discuss goals for the therapy. In subsequent sessions, the therapist works with each partner to identify individual patterns of behaviour which may be contributing to conflict in the relationship. The therapist can then assist couples in finding better ways to communicate and recommend skill-building strategies for problem-solving and creating a more satisfying relationship for both partners. The therapist also provides support and guidance during their sessions.
