Couples Counselling
Couples and Marriage Counselling in Halifax
Green Leaf Psychological Services offers couples counselling to the areas of Halifax, Bedford, Dartmouth, and Clayton Park.
In contrast to individual therapy, in couples counselling / marriage counselling, the relationship itself is the focus of therapy. Both partners attend the sessions together and the overall goal is to build a healthier, happier, more respectful, and more satisfying relationship. Often, this means improving communication skills, working through trust issues, learning how to disagree without fighting, and breaking bad relationship habits that can contribute to feelings of resentment, anger, jealousy, or mistrust. |
It is important to note that our psychologists will not "pick a side" during couples counselling. For couples counselling to be helpful, both partners must feel understood and their concerns validated. If one partner feels attacked the sessions will not be productive. The goal in couples counselling is not to assign blame, but to identify and correct unhealthy relationship patterns.
