Relationship Counselling
The goal of relationship counselling is to facilitate open communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen the emotional connection between partners. Here’s an overview of what is typically involved in relationship counselling:
Assessment and Goal Setting
When you first visit The Therapy Company, either online or in-person at our Preston facility, we will begin with assessment and goal setting. This is where our qualified counsellor takes the time to gather all necessary information about the history of the relationship, current challenges, and the goals of the individuals or the couple. This is a crucial step to establish the key goals of your relationship for the following sessions.
Building Rapport and Trust
Trust within any relationship is paramount for it to flourish and grow. Our counsellor(s) will help to create a non-judgemental and safe environment to foster open communication. Establishing rapport with both individuals is crucial for the effectiveness of the counselling sessions.
Identification of Issues
As part of your counselling sessions, our counsellor will help you, as an individual or a couple, to identify specific challenges or issues which are currently present within your relationship. For example; emotional distance, unresolved conflicts, and communication breakdowns. Once you identify your issues, we can help to develop effective strategies.
Communication Skills Development
Following on from identifying key issues, our counsellors will help you with communication skill developments. Here, we work with you, as an individual or within your couple, to encourage actively listening techniques, improve assertiveness, and provide much-needed tools that help to express thoughts and emotions constructively.
Conflict Resolution
If you are currently battling conflicts within your relationship, our counsellors teach you how to navigate that in a constructive and healthy way. We help to guide you through problem-solving skills, emphasising compromise, and encourage a collaborative approach to conflict resolution.
Regular Check-Ins and Progress Evaluation
With your romantic and interpersonal relationship ever-evolving, it makes sense to have regular check-ins and progress evaluation sessions with our qualified counsellors. You can schedule sessions with our counsellors in-person or online (safe and secure), depending on your personal preferences.
Relationship Counselling (Key Benefits)
Relationship counselling offers a range of benefits that contribute to the overall health and well-being of individuals and couples. Here are some key advantages of seeking relationship counselling:
Enhanced Emotional Connection: Counsellors work closely with you to strengthen the emotional connections between partners. As a result of this, it can help to create a more fulfilling and more meaningful bond within the relationship.
Individual Growth: As well as aiding the growth between a couple, relationship counselling is also highly beneficial for aiding individual growth. This can positively contribute to the overall health of the relationship, usually due to increased self esteem.
Increased Relationship Satisfaction: As you work through your relationship difficulties or obstacles, you’ll often find that your overall relationship satisfaction improves, leading to a more positive and enduring partnership.
