Couples Therapy
The quality of your relationship with your significant other can significantly impact your quality of life and happiness. Yolanda Fihla provides couples therapy to partners seeking advice and guidance in their relationship.
Seeking marriage counselling can be a tough decision. It involves admitting that your relationship is imperfect, which can be disheartening. However, it's not a sign of weakness in your relationship if you need couples therapy - it is a sign that both parties are interested and willing to make the partnership work. It can be the first step to overcoming the barriers in your relationship and deepening the connection in your relationship.
All partnerships experience conflict, but it may be necessary to seek couples therapy when there is more conflict than peace in your relationship.
Reasons to consider couples therapy
- Breach of trust, infidelity, emotional affairs, or a major deception.
- Being stuck in a conflict cycle, constantly fighting about small things or getting stuck on a particular topic continuously brings conflict into the relationship.
- Overcoming significant life changes together or grief, such as losing a child.
- A loss of physical and emotional intimacy, and a feeling of 'growing apart'.
- The couple is considering divorce or separation and wants to save the relationship.
Couples therapy can help you both recognise the conflict patterns holding you back as a couple and provide a solid foundation for rebuilding trust, intimacy, and connection.
The practice offers a safe space where you can both be vulnerable and express your needs in the relationship.
As well as benefitting your romantic relationship, learning healthy conflict-resolution skills and effective communication will also benefit the other relationships in your life.
