As a couple you may seek therapy because communication has become strained or has simply broken down between you.

You may feel stuck in unhelpful and unhappy patterns of relating to each other; or you may be aware of feelings of dissatisfaction, a loss of intimacy or issues around sex in the relationship, and you would like to understand this.

An affair, or a loss of trust, can be the catalyst for seeking help, whether this is a first occurrence in the relationship or a recurring theme.

Difficulties and differences around parenting, the decision to become parents, or that children have left home may be the impetus for seeking help, too.
