Couples Counseling
Couple's counseling is based on the premise that individuals and their problems are best handled within the context of the couple's relationship. Typically, both partners in the relationship attend the counseling session to discuss the couple's specific issues. The aim of couple's counseling is to help a couple deal appropriately with their immediate problems and to learn better ways of relating in general.Couple therapy involves only the couple. Children may be affected either directly or indirectly by problems in their parents' relationship, and to varying degrees, depending on factors such as their ages and the nature and severity of their parents' problems. However the focus in couple's counseling is the relationship between the partners.
