Relationships are dynamic and can change over time. Couples therapy can help with developing as a couple, communication problems, and changes in sexuality.
Couples therapy focuses on addressing communication problems in a relationship. Good communication is a prerequisite for dealing with challenges in a relationship. Life exposes us to many challenges and situations that we haven’t dealt with before, so it’s natural that we react differently—sometimes more predictably, sometimes less.
Couples therapy can also provide insight into whether your relationship should continue. With a therapist, you can better understand each other and thus better manage the difficulties that arise.

Couples therapy is often associated with identifying problems in a relationship. However, it is equally essential to acknowledge and appreciate what is working well. During the therapy session, the therapist may encourage both parties to express their feelings about their relationship, including what is going well and what could be improved.
Another common question in couples ‘ therapy can be linked to the partners’ past lives. Previous relationships, childhood, and events that have affected you can be meaningful in understanding why a person behaves in a certain way during a current relationship. A greater understanding of this makes it easier for the therapist to provide the proper guidance in the future.
An essential element of couples therapy is getting to the point and ensuring the other party listens. In couples therapy, people practice expressing their thoughts, feelings and wishes without being interrupted. It also allows you to be listened to and gives you strategies to accept each other’s behaviour.

At Lavendla, the therapists and coaches set the price, which you will find when booking. Couple therapy sessions are usually longer as more than one person needs to be heard. The time required for each session and how many sessions you need are decided in consultation with the therapist.
Couple therapy aims to help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationships. It can also help increase their understanding of each other and create a more satisfying and sustainable relationship.
The timeframe for a couple therapy process varies depending on the complexity of the issues being addressed. A shorter period of therapy may be sufficient for some couples, while others may need several months of regular sessions. The therapist will discuss and suggest a suitable schedule based on your needs.
Therapists use different methods and techniques based on the couple’s needs and goals. Standard methods include communication training, managing conflict resolution, emotional processing and exploring childhood patterns. The therapist may also provide homework and exercises to strengthen the relationship between sessions.
Preparing for couples therapy involves being open to reflecting on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and being willing to listen to and support your partner. It can be helpful to think about your goals and expectations for therapy and be prepared to communicate openly with each other and the therapist.
If a partner is reluctant to participate in couples therapy, respecting their feelings and not forcing them into something they are uncomfortable with is essential. Instead, you can suggest discussing your concerns and exploring the possibility of seeking help later. Being open and nonjudgmental can help create an atmosphere of mutual respect.
If couple therapy is not producing the desired results, it is essential to communicate this with your therapist. They can adjust the approach or suggest alternative strategies. Sometimes, therapy may not be the best solution for your specific situation. Exploring other options, such as individual therapy or other resources, may be valuable.
