Couples Therapy

Christina Pereira understands that relationships are complex, and each couple faces unique challenges. With our compassionate and skilled approach to couples therapy, we are committed to helping you and your partner navigate the ups and downs of your relationship. 

 

Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where both partners can explore their feelings, understand each other better, and build a stronger, more resilient bond. 

What is Couples Therapy? 

 

Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps couples of all types recognise and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. 

 

Through couples therapy, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship or going your separate ways. 

 

Why Should I Consider Couples Therapy? 

 

Couples therapy can be beneficial for partners considering separation or seeking improved intimacy and understanding. 

 

The process typically involves both partners, although sometimes, one partner may choose to work with us alone. 

 

The therapy provides a space to explore the bigger picture of your relationship beyond just the issues at hand. 

 

How Can Couples Therapy Benefit Me? 

 

This type of therapy can assist couples in many ways, from improving communication skills to resolving interpersonal conflicts and building a stronger bond. 

 

By addressing specific issues such as jealousy, infidelity, communication breakdown, and others, couples therapy can help partners develop a deeper understanding and empathy towards each other. 

 

What Happens During a Couples Therapy Session? 

 

In a typical session, we encourage both you and your partners to discuss your thoughts and emotions related to your relationship. 

 

Christina acts as a mediator and helps to keep the dialogue constructive. 

 

Techniques may vary depending on the approach we take, but the goal is to help you both understand each other better and develop healthier ways to cope with any issues. 

 

How Long Does Couples Therapy Last? 

 

The duration of couples therapy depends largely on the depth of the issues and your commitment to the therapy process. 

 

Some people find improvements in a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy to resolve more profound issues. 

 

Christina will help you set realistic goals and timelines for therapy. 

 

How to Prepare for Couples Therapy? 

 

Preparing for couples therapy involves being open and honest about your feelings and what you hope to gain from the therapy. 

 

Being open to change and willing to participate in the sessions are also key components to making therapy work.
