Couples Counselling
About Couples Counselling in Cheltenham
What is Couples Counselling?
Couples counselling is a means of resolving problems and conflicts that couples have not been able to handle effectively on their own. It involves both partners sitting down with me to discuss their thoughts and feelings. The aim is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your partner, to decide if you need and want to make changes, and if so, to help you to do so.
What is the difference between couple therapy and sex therapy?
Couples counselling focuses on the total relationship while sex therapy deals more specifically with sexual dysfunction. Other problems within a relationship can often affect the sexual relationship, and the quality of the sexual relationship is important to many couples, so this may be discussed in couple therapy. However, a couple may experience sexual problems in an otherwise sound relationship. If this is the case, sex therapy may be beneficial. This treatment recommendation would be based on our initial assessment of your problem.
What kinds of problems do people usually bring to Caroline 4 Counselling?
People seek therapy for a range of problems and every couple is different. Some of the most common complaints include lack of communication, frequent or constant arguments, unfulfilled emotional needs, financial concerns, previous relationships and conflicts about children .
You may be wondering why these problems sound like common issues that many couples resolve without professional help.
Couples often seek help from me not because your problems are different from those of other couples, but because you may be unable to resolve them. Sometimes, this is because of a build up of frustration and disappointment over time, or there is some other issue or meaning underlying the conflict. Other couples see me as a result of a crisis in the relationship, such as an affair or apparent loss of affection and caring, or a traumatic event, such as an illness or loss in the family.

Intimate relationships, if they are working well, can sustain us through the difficulties and crises that accompany everyone's life at one time or another. Making an intimate relationship work is no easy matter. Couples too often feel frustrated and helpless and when each one's needs and concerns clash and when hurt turns to pain counselling can offer a clearer solution.
Benefit from working with a professionally trained, experienced and supportive couples counsellor who will listen to both partners as you express your thoughts and feelings to help identify and clarify problem areas.
