Common Relationship Issues We Address in Couples Therapy

- You feel that no matter what you do to try and fix things, it’s never enough for your partner
- You feel like your partner doesn’t listen to you

- You feel depressed and anxious because you’re caught in the endless loop of conflict, misunderstanding, and mistrust
- You’re afraid that your partner may be having an affair, or you may be thinking of having one yourself
When you’re struggling with relationship stress, it colors every aspect of your life. It can lead to anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and even contribute to health problems.
How Relationship Problems Affect Your Well-being
When communication breaks down, mistrust, anger, contempt, and disrespect begin to infect your relationship. The person you once believed was the most loving and supportive may now seem critical and uncaring. It may seem like nothing you do or say is right, and even though you try to make things work, nothing seems to help. You may notice that your partner treats others in your life with respect, and you may begin to doubt yourself or think there is something wrong with you. You may even start to feel insecure and jealous, and suspect that your partner is having—or might have an affair.
Although you may feel that your relationship difficulties are impossible to overcome, there is always hope. Couples counselling can help.
Working with a caring couples counsellor who understands relationship dynamics can help you and your partner rediscover the happiness and pleasure you once shared.
