Couples & Marriage Counselling in Auckland or Online
Relationship Counselling Therapy (RCT) is based in Auckland and offers marriage and couples counselling to individuals and couples. Counselling is also available online via Zoom. Please note that since the outbreak, I have been working online via Zoom platform. This has been just as effective for couples counselling. In couples counselling, I am more focused on the connection between the couple and not the therapist. It is helpful if you are both in the same room for couples counselling but do understand this may not be possible for couples that are managing long distance relationships or one is working away from home.
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you could benefit from relationship counselling:
Do you feel a lack of connection/intimacy/trust in your marriage or relationship?
Are you constantly arguing or have you stopped communicating?
Perhaps you feel that you are both leading separate lives?
Has a betrayal affected your marriage or relationship?
Or maybe you are in a good marriage or relationship but want to make it better?
Couples / marriage counselling can help.

Research indicates that conflict is essential to a healthy relationship. 69% of couples problems are unsolvable (Gottman, 1999) however what counts is how people manage conflict. Conflict can actually be an opportunity to enhance relationships. Skills such as emotional regulation are taught as each partner should be emotionally calm when speaking. Learning to communicate with a couples counsellor ensure that both peoples needs are represented in a fair, positive and respectful way.
After lack of communication, infidelity is the next biggest reason that couples come for couples counselling. Research and experience indicate that if a couple can overcome an affair, then their relationship can be better than it was previously. There are several reasons for an affair and whether a couple decides to break-up or stay together, it is beneficial to have open and honest communication with a 3rd party counselling professional.

Why should I invest in my marriage or relationship?
In successful relationships it’s been proven that putting your marriage first is vital. Once you become parents, your relationship matters even more because you have other people counting on you. These small people role model from you how to manage conflict, be assertive, give and receive love. The reality is that your kids will grow up, friends will move away, parents will pass on, but your spouse is the one person that will be with you through it all. The quality of our life depends on the quality of our relationships. Relationship counselling will give you the skills to take your life to the next level.
