Couples counselling FAQs
Do both partners need to attend?
Couples counselling usually involves both partners attending together. If one partner is unsure, an introductory conversation can help clarify whether couples work is the right starting point.
Will the counsellor take sides?
No. The aim is to understand the relationship dynamic, not to blame one person. Sessions provide a structured space where both partners can be heard and patterns can be explored safely.
Can couples counselling help after a loss of trust?
Yes, where both partners are willing to engage. Counselling can support conversations about hurt, trust, boundaries, accountability and whether repair is possible.
