Marriage counselling - Most couples experience periods of difficulty during a marriage. Debt, illness or infidelity can put significant strain on marital life and sometimes cause separation or divorce. Poor communication can also be problematic, preventing a couple from discussing and solving contentious issues. This is where marriage counselling might prove helpful.
Marriage counsellors attempt to improve the interaction between couples by developing listening, problem-solving and communicative skills. They also provide people with the opportunity to voice their frustrations in an environment conducive to expression. Approaches to marriage counselling vary - some practitioners meet people individually while others prefer to work with
both husband and wife together.
There are different routes couples can take when looking for marriage guidance counselling. Many private counsellors offer help to people experiencing
relationship difficulties. They can be found through our directory or by using the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy web-site. Alternatively couples counselling agencies such as RELATE provide an effective and affordable service. They also have proven track-records in marriage guidance counselling and therapy.
