Are things not going smoothly in your relationship? This is normal; relationship problems occur in most relationships from time to time. To strengthen your relationship again, it is important to solve those relationship problems. Sometimes it works itself out, but just as often it doesn’t work out together. Then relationship counseling may offer a solution. As a third party, WALSHA offers new insights into your relationship and teaches you to communicate better with your partner(s).
What is couples counseling?
In couples therapy, we work with you and your partner(s) to identify the problems in your relationship. We help you communicate calmly and openly again and, above all, listen to each other. In this way, you will discover new insights into the relationship that can strengthen your bond and increase trust.
Therapy usually consists of several sessions together with your partner(s), but individual sessions are also possible at WALSHA.
The benefits of couples counseling
Many couples have a negative attitude toward couples counseling. They assume they can solve their relationship problems themselves and don’t need help, but couples therapy can have enormous benefits for your relationship even when everything seems to be going well. During counseling, you will get to know each other even better. You can talk to each other in an open and unbiased way and discover each other’s deepest desires or irritations. This creates a deeper connection and results in fewer arguments and more understanding of each other. This is how you build a lasting relationship together with a solid foundation.
Relationship counseling for various relationship problems
There are different types of relationship problems for which counseling is helpful:
- imbalance, distance in the relationship
- misunderstanding, communication problems
- repeating argument
- different view of the future, e.g. I don’t want children and my partner does
- rut in your relationship
- infidelity and deceit
- irritations, e.g. I can no longer tolerate my husband/wife
Do you recognize yourself in any of these situations or do you have another relationship problem? Then get guidance from a couples counselor.
Relationship counseling at every stage of the relationship
Many couples reach for couples counseling as a last shackle to save their relationship. At WALSHA, we see couples counseling as a way to strengthen your relationship. It can help you at any stage of the relationship or any major change, not just when the relationship is already close to dying out. It is just better to work on a sustainable relationship preventively and address relationship problems early, rather than waiting until it is (almost) too late. On the other hand, couples counseling can help couples who decide to break up. Counseling then helps them communicate better so that the divorce goes smoothly.
Are you at an important point that has or will have a major impact on your relationship? A couples counselor helps you find answers to your questions and look for solutions together.
Who are you and who is your partner? What do you expect from each other? What do you consider important in a relationship? How will you build a future together?
How does co-existence take place? Are household chores divided equally? Are you and your partner comfortable with that division? What if you are tired of each other?
How important is a career in your life? Is the work/relationship balance right? What if you or your partner work too much? Is there still enough time for each other?
Do you want children? What if only one of you wants children? How do you raise your child(ren)?
Do you want to get married? With a marriage agreement or not? Only for law or also for faith?
How do you breathe life back into your relationship? How do you escape from the rut?
Your partner cheated on you or you cheated on your partner, how do you move forward? Is there a future for you or are your paths parting? How do you trust someone again?
How do we treat each other respectfully after divorce? What about the children?
Who is my new partner and who am I? How do I deal with my new partner’s children?
