What is Couple, Marriage, and Relationship Counselling?
Couple, marriage, and relationship counselling is a form of therapy designed to help partners address relationship challenges, improve communication, and resolve conflicts in a healthy way.
Whether you’re dealing with communication breakdowns, trust issues, or adjusting to significant life changes, relationship counselling provides a structured environment where both partners can express their feelings, work on solutions, and rebuild trust and intimacy.
At Sigma Therapies, we work with couples of all types, including those in long-term relationships, marriages, or newer partnerships, to help you develop stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling connections.

The Benefits of Couple, Marriage, and Relationship Counselling
Relationship counselling offers many benefits for couples looking to improve their relationship, including:
Improved Communication
Learn how to communicate more effectively, express feelings clearly, and listen to your partner without judgement. Better communication helps couples resolve conflicts faster and with less frustration.
Conflict Resolution Skills
Counselling helps couples understand the underlying causes of conflict and equips them with healthy strategies for managing disagreements, reducing tension, and fostering mutual respect.
Rebuilding Trust
If trust has been broken in the relationship, such as after an affair or significant disagreement, counselling provides a space to work through these issues and rebuild trust over time.
Strengthening Emotional Connection
Counselling encourages emotional openness, helping couples reconnect on a deeper level and strengthen their bond.
Guidance During Life Transitions
Whether it’s preparing for marriage, adjusting to parenthood, or managing the stresses of work-life balance, relationship counselling provides support and strategies to help couples navigate these transitions successfully.

What to Expect from Relationship Counselling Sessions
At Sigma Therapies, our relationship counselling sessions are focused on providing a safe, non-judgemental environment where both partners can openly express their concerns and work towards solutions. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation: During your first session, we’ll discuss your relationship history, current challenges, and goals for counselling. Both partners will have the opportunity to share their perspectives and concerns, allowing the therapist to gain a balanced understanding of the issues.
- Identifying Patterns: We’ll work together to identify unhelpful patterns in communication or behaviour that may be contributing to conflict or distance. This helps both partners understand how their actions or words impact the relationship.
- Improving Communication: A key focus of relationship counselling is improving communication. We’ll introduce tools and techniques to help you communicate more effectively, express emotions in a healthy way, and actively listen to your partner.
- Conflict Resolution Strategies: We’ll guide you in developing practical conflict resolution strategies, helping you manage disagreements in a way that fosters respect and understanding rather than escalating tension.
- Rebuilding Trust and Intimacy: If trust has been damaged in the relationship, our therapists will help you explore the underlying causes and provide strategies for rebuilding trust, reconnecting emotionally, and re-establishing intimacy.
- Ongoing Support:
Relationship counselling is a continuous process, and we provide ongoing support as you and your partner work through issues. Sessions are flexible and tailored to your relationship’s unique needs, allowing for long-term growth and improvement.
