Couples therapy is a form of counselling used to treat relationship distress for both individuals and couples. The purpose of couples therapy is to restore a better level of functioning in couples who experience relationship distress. Alcohol problems can add to that stress and exaggerate pre-existing issues like poor communication skills, incompatibility etc.
Couples Therapy is available should a couple wish to explore and discuss their relationship dynamics in relation to alcohol in more detail. If you are interested, please discuss the option with your counsellor. Couples sessions will be carried out by a qualified Family- and Couples Therapist.
