Couples therapy isn't just for relationships in distress. Common signs that you might benefit from seeing a therapist include recurring conflicts without resolution, poor communication, feelings of distance or dissatisfaction, and significant life stressors like infidelity or financial strain. However, couples also seek therapy to strengthen their relationship, learn new skills for healthy conflict, or prepare for life changes together. Essentially, anytime you wish to improve your connection, communication, or handle a difficult decision together, couples therapy can be beneficial.
While some couples may fear that therapy could exacerbate their issues, this concern usually stems from the discomfort of having difficult but necessary conversations. An ineffective therapist or approach might sometimes lead to a negative experience, but in many cases, therapy challenges couples to be vulnerable in unfamiliar ways, which can be misconstrued as worsening the relationship. However, this process can be healing and beneficial in the long run. It's important to find a well-trained, licensed therapist, and remember that, for some couples, parting ways may ultimately be the healthiest outcome, representing a form of success in understanding what's best for both individuals.
It's not uncommon for one partner to be more enthusiastic about couples therapy than the other. However, therapy can still be beneficial if both partners are willing to attend sessions and try to engage with the process. Therapists are skilled at working with varying levels of engagement and can help motivate the less interested partner by highlighting the potential benefits for the relationship and addressing any fears or misconceptions about therapy. Over time, as the couple begins to experience improvements in their relationship, both partners often become more invested in the therapy process.

I am from Bloemfontein and hes from the Vaal. I would therefore like to inquire about your rates and more information regarding how this will unfold especially because he has never been to therapy.

I’m here because I need help untangling the relationship dynamic I’ve had with my partner, Zama. She’s very emotionally intelligent and self-aware, but sometimes it feels like that turns into subtle guilt-tripping or manipulation — where I end up being blamed for everything, even when I try to share my own hurt. I want to explore: Why I keep feeling responsible for all her pain, but my own feelings get dismissed. Why I’ve learned to shut down and avoid conflict instead of speaking openly. Whether this dynamic is healthy or fair — or if it’s keeping us both stuck. How I can communicate better, set healthy boundaries, and protect my own emotional wellbeing too. Ultimately, I do still care about her and miss her, but I need clarity on whether the relationship can be rebuilt in a healthy way, or if it’s better to let go.
I’ve been struggling with self-worth and attachment in relationships. I’m trying to heal from heartbreak, patterns of overgiving, and feeling like I need to earn love. I also experience emotional ups and downs, especially around my cycle. I want to feel more emotionally safe, stable, and in tune with myself

I am a stepfather and have a situation in which my step son clearly dislikes his mother. He wont even greet her unless reminded to. He views everything she says as acrimonious and we were recently called to a meeting at school because he made up a whole lot of nonsense about his mom and how she treats him. I need my wife and her son to figure out their relationship. Note that his biological father passed away when he was 2 and half and he absolutely adored his dad... Now its me.
We are married for 39 yrs. we’ve lost a child 10 years ago. Infidelity has been a constant in our relationship for our entire marriage. Drug and alcohol abuse as well from my husband. He’s now 1yr sober. He wants space and a separation or divorce. We need help to get back on track in our marriage.
I feel like a paranoid & insecure person, my marriage is falling apart and I feel like I'm the only one who sees this when I raised this issue to my husband he acted surprised but I could tell he feels the same but scared to say it and this started after he cheated. Things have not been going well and I've been unemployed since
