FAQ
Couples & Marriage Therapy
What is Couples & Marriage Therapy?
Couples and Marriage Therapy is also known as couples therapy or marriage counselling. This is psychotherapy focused on helping couples address conflicts, enhance communication, and strengthen their emotional bonds.
When should we consider Couples Therapy?
Couples Therapy can be beneficial when you and your partner are experiencing communication problems, frequent conflicts, emotional distance, trust issues, or a decline in intimacy. Pre-marital counselling can also be helpful in building a strong foundation for marriage.
What happens during a Couples Therapy session?
During a therapy session, you and your partner would work with a qualified therapist who would facilitate discussion, guide you through exercises, and provide insights to help you better understand and address your relationship challenges. At Attached Psychology, your therapist would be Dr Sia.
How long does Couples Therapy take?
Couples Therapy will vary in duration depending on the issues you're facing and your specific goals. Short-term therapy will benefit some couples, while others may need longer-term counselling. Dr Sia will discuss with you the recommended duration.
Is Couples Therapy effective?
Yes, Couples Therapy is highly effective. Research shows that, for many couples, this therapy leads to improved communication, conflict resolution, and relationship satisfaction. However, success depends on the commitment of both partners to the process.
Do we have to be married to seek Couples Therapy?
No. You don't need to be married. Couples Therapy is all about enhancing the quality of your connection in your relationship, whether you're dating, engaged, or cohabiting.
Is everything discussed in therapy confidential?
Yes, your therapy sessions are confidential. Dr Sia follows strict ethical guidelines to protect your privacy. However, in cases of harm to self or others, there are legal exceptions to confidentiality.
Can one partner attend therapy alone?
Yes, this is an option when one partner is not ready or willing to participate in couples therapy. And it can still be beneficial for personal growth and improving relationship dynamics.
How much does Couples Therapy cost?
The cost of Couples Therapy varies according to the concerns that are unique to each relationship. When Dr Sia discusses the fees during your initial consultation, you will have complete transparency.
