Does Couples Counselling Work & Is It Worth It
Relationship counselling can be incredibly effective in helping couples overcome issues and improve their relationship. Studies have shown that couples who attend counselling report higher levels of satisfaction and communication in their relationship.
However, it is essential to note that counselling is not a quick fix and requires effort and commitment from both partners to see results. In addition, it is common for counselling to bring up difficult emotions and challenges, so couples must be prepared to work through these together.
Overall, if you are in a relationship, couples therapy can be a valuable investment in a struggling relationship as it can offer the tools and guidance needed to build a stronger, healthier partnership.
