Marriage counselling and couples counselling is a form of therapy in which a therapist helps two people in a romantic relationship work through difficulties they may be experiencing as a couple. The aim of this counselling is to help the couple develop the tools to make a relationship work. This could include gaining insight into their dynamic, to grow in the understanding of each other’s needs, to resolve the conflict they are having or to enhance the relationship.

Not all couples receive counselling for the same reasons. Some couples may need therapy to improve their relationship, others come to save their relationship and some couples even seek therapy to assist them through their divorce.
