Common questions from St Marys couples about relationship therapy.
Most sessions work best with both partners present, but there may be times when your therapist suggests an individual session to explore something in more depth. The structure is flexible and tailored to what your relationship needs at each stage.
It's common for one partner to be more hesitant than the other. Sometimes starting with an individual session can help ease the way. We also find that once reluctant partners attend their first session, they often feel more comfortable than they expected.
Not at all. Many couples come to us at the first signs of disconnection, before things escalate. Early intervention is often the most effective. Think of it as a tune-up for your relationship rather than waiting for a breakdown.
Our psychologists draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, both of which have strong evidence for improving relationship satisfaction. The specific approach depends on what's happening in your relationship and what resonates with you both.
Most couples see meaningful progress within eight to twelve sessions, though some choose to continue longer for deeper work. Your therapist will regularly check in on how things are going and adjust the plan with you.
