Marriage & Couples Counselling

Couples Counselling Brisbane, Logan, Capalaba, Loganholme

The Psych Professionals offer counselling and therapy to people facing issues in their relationship that they need help with, and to people who are happy with their relationship but want to strengthen their connection even further.

At times in our relationships, we experience difficulties. If you and your partner are having a hard time resolving issues between yourselves, couple therapy can help.

Having an impartial professional hear both of you out, help you work through your issues, and lead you back on to the right path can be enough to save a relationship.

Counselling can also be very useful to strengthen an existing relationship.

When to Seek Help from a Relationship Therapist

People usually seek couples counselling to either:

  • bring a deeper closeness and sense of connection to the relationship
  • solve a particular issue
  • prepare for marriage
  • decide to end a relationship.

It takes two to tango

Deciding whether to seek couples counselling is a decision that you and your partner must make together—and both of you need to agree to be willing participants. It’s no use dragging someone along who really doesn’t want to be there.

You can only get results from therapy if you are willing to be open and invest a little of yourself. However much you put in, that’s how much you’ll get out.
