What is the Role of a Couples Therapist?

Couples therapists are specially trained in helping couples talk through problems and conflicts that can arise in relationships. A skilled therapist for couples is able to make both partners feel safe in the therapy room, without taking sides.

Your relationship counsellor will work to create a space where both of you feel able to speak openly, and where you can work toward hearing the other person’s point of view without getting triggered. Ideally, with the therapist’s help, you will find some common ground and end up in a stronger position to move forward together in your relationship.

What are some reasons for seeking Relationship Counselling?

Some couples seek relationship therapy to strengthen their partnership and gain a better understanding of each other. Others turn to marital counselling when facing ongoing conflict, emotional disconnection, or life transitions that have put a strain on the relationship. Whether you're navigating the early years of marriage, dealing with long-standing resentments, or adjusting to a major life event, marital counselling can provide a supportive space to reflect, rebuild trust, and learn new ways of relating to one another.

Some of the typical issues marriage counselling in Langley can help you and your partner cope with include:

  • Communication problems

  • Sexual difficulties

  • Conflicts about child-rearing or blended families

  • Substance abuse

  • Anger

  • Infidelity

Marriage counselling can also help couples who plan to get married through premarital counselling. Premarital counselling can help couples achieve a deeper understanding of each other and iron out differences before marriage.

No matter the cause, distress in a relationship can create undue stress, tension, sadness, worry, fear and other problems. You may hope your relationship troubles just go away on their own, but left to fester, a bad relationship may only worsen and eventually lead to physical or psychological problems, such as depression. A bad relationship can also create problems on the job and affect other family members or even friendships as people feel compelled to take sides.  The sooner relationship challenges are addressed, there is often greater ease and success in addressing them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Relationship Therapy

  • Marriage & Couples Counselling at our Langley counselling office typically brings couples together for joint therapy sessions. In these sessions, the counsellor will help the couple pinpoint and understand the sources of their conflicts and try to resolve them. Through marriage counselling, the couple will develop the skills to solidify their relationship. These skills may include communicating openly, solving problems together, discussing differences and gaining more clarity about how conflict patterns have emerged.

    It may not be easy to discuss your problems during counselling sessions, meaning sessions may pass in silence as you and your partner seethe over perceived wrongs. Or, you may bring your disagreements with you, arguing throughout your therapy sessions. Your Langley marriage counsellor will be able to help in both situations. They will act as a caring and objective presence and help you both cope with the emotions and turmoil.

    You may find your relationship improving after just a few sessions. On the other hand, you may ultimately discover that your differences truly are irreconcilable and that it’s best to end your relationship. A relationship counsellor will be there to support you through any outcome.

  • You can go by yourself. It may be more challenging to patch up relationships when only one partner is willing to go to therapy, but you can still benefit by learning more about your reactions and behaviour in the relationship.

  • Marriage Counselling can help couples in all types of intimate relationships — regardless of sexual orientation or marital status.

    We understand that maintaining a strong and meaningful connection in your relationship is important to your overall happiness. Unhappy couples or couples that are constantly arguing are more likely to separate. Each partner also will become prone to physical and mental health the longer their problems go unchecked. Our counsellors in Langley have helped couples of all ages improve their relationships and discover new ways to view life and empathize with their partners.
