RELATIONSHIP and COUPLES COUNSELLING

Building and maintaining a healthy intimate relationship requires ongoing investment of time and energy from both partners. At the Meilan Counselling Clinic, we offer relationship and couples counselling to help you navigate challenges and strengthen your bond.

Key Elements of Couples Therapy:

In couples therapy, we focus on identifying and clarifying the needs of each partner. It's crucial to recognize that while your partner plays a significant role in meeting your needs, not all needs can or should be fulfilled within the relationship alone. Each individual must take responsibility for fulfilling some needs independently.

Navigating Conflicts and Perspectives:

When conflicts arise, it's common for attention to fixate on negative aspects of the partner. Defenses can prevent individuals from acknowledging their own contributions to conflicts and appreciating their partner's positive qualities. Our therapists encourage a balanced perspective by facilitating honest self-reflection and evaluating each partner's role in the conflict. This process helps couples recognize and appreciate the positive aspects they bring to the relationship.

Services Offered:

At the Meilan Counselling Clinic, our relationship and couples counselling services include:

  • Effective Communication Skills: Developing tools for open, effective communication that fosters mutual understanding and resolution of conflicts.

  • Intimacy and Companionship: Enhancing intimacy and creating enjoyable companionship moments within the relationship.
