WHAT IS COUPLE THERAPY? Couple therapy is a great way for couples to sit down and discuss their relationship problems in the presence of a counsellor or practicing therapist who is experienced in dealing with relationship issues. It will usually involve a series of sessions you have with your partner and a therapist; the aim is to get the both of you to better communicate about your problems and build a healthier rapport.

FIGURE OUT YOUR OBJECTIVES A relationship advisor or therapist can help you only if you know what you are trying to get out of the process. So even before you visit a therapist, it’s important for you to be clear on a few things • What exactly are you hoping to achieve • What are the things that bother you the most about your relationship? • How are you contributing towards improving things in your relationship? • Where do you see yourself as a couple in five years?

BE PROACTIVE AND OPEN TO SHARING A therapist is not a wizard who can wave a wand and miraculously solve all your relationship issues. They will need your inputs and willingness to share your points of view in order to better help you as a couple. Go in with an open mind and a sincere willingness to find a solution. Part of the job will be to get you comfortable with the process so that you can open up and participate in the discussion.
