Frequently asked questions

• What happens in couples therapy?

The first three sessions involve thorough fact-finding. You are asked to complete a comprehensive questionnaire to analyse your relationship. Once you gain a better understanding of how the relationship is functioning, you then learn how to repair it. All couples have problems that will not go away, but with education into new skills and practice you can respond in supportive and caring ways.

• How long are the sessions?

Sessions are on a weekly basis and last between 60 to 90 minutes. Some couples require fast change and sessions run between six and 15 weeks. Other couples may take a couple of years. It depends on the issues presented. Completion happens when couples say, “What do we need a therapist for?” The cost is aligned to industry standards. Please email or call for this information.
