Marriage Counselling

 

About Our Marriage Counselling in Leeds

 

Difficulty in our closest relationships is extremely common and can have a large effect on our lives. Problems often stem from or are made worse by the lack of effective communication. Marriage counselling can help you understand and improve the situation, whether working alone or in couple’s sessions.

Marriage Counselling involves working together with myself; I am trained to help you have important conversations and ask questions to prompt you to move forward. I am impartial, non-judgmental, and can help you gain perspective on your challenges, ensuring all parties are being fairly given the opportunity to express themselves.

Our marriage counselling sessions aim to help you:. 

·         Understand how outside factors such as family values, religion, lifestyle and culture affect your relationship (s).

·         Reflect on the past and how it operates in the present.

·         Communicate in a more beneficial way.

·         Learn how/why your conflicts intensify.

·         Negotiate and resolve differences where possible.

Why Insight? The Process and the Sessions:

How does it work?

·         I usually begin by exploring how you met, what attracted you to one another, asking what brought you to marriage counselling at this time and what your goals of marriage therapy are.

·         The duration of therapy will be discussed with you at the beginning and at regular check-ins during the course of marriage counselling, as this will be dependent on the nature of your issues and goals.

·         I ask that you take turns to schedule future appointments to ensure all parties continue to be invested in marriage counselling.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Often, I am contacted via phone or email by one of the people in the relationship.  I ask that all parties complete my marriage counselling assessment form and agree to our contract before booking an appointment.

  • Marriage counselling doesn’t guarantee to ‘fix’ things, but the hope is that it will help you overcome your challenges.

    If, on the other hand, these prove insurmountable, you will both have had the opportunity to voice your individual perspectives and make the decision knowing that you have given your marriage every chance.
