Preparing for your first couples therapy or couples counselling session can enhance the effectiveness of your therapy. Here’s how to get ready:
Define Your Goals: Before your first appointment, discuss with your partner what you hope to achieve from therapy. Whether your goals involve improving communication, resolving intimacy issues, or addressing family dynamics, having clear objectives helps guide the therapy process. Remember, each couple's goals are unique, and our therapists will tailor their approach to meet your specific needs.
Choose a Comfortable Setting: For online sessions, create a quiet and private space where you can both feel comfortable. This helps ensure a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your thoughts and emotions.
Prepare Key Issues: Think about the main issues you want to address. Prepare a list of topics or concerns, such as trust issues or conflict resolution, to help you improve and focus on the areas that are most important for your relationship. For example, if one partner is hesitant or has specific concerns about the relationship, discussing these openly with your therapist can help in addressing these issues effectively.
Check Technology: Ensure that your internet connection and any required software are functioning properly before your session. This helps prevent technical issues and ensures a smooth therapy experience.
Be Open and Honest: Approach the session with a willingness to share openly. Honesty is crucial for effective therapy and helps your therapist understand your relationship dynamics and challenges better. Being open and honest is key to wellbeing.
Communicate Expectations: Let your therapist know your expectations for therapy. Whether you’re seeking support for relationship counselling, family therapy, or individual therapy, communicating your needs helps your therapist tailor their approach to your specific goals.
By preparing for your first session, you can make the most of your therapy experience and set a positive foundation for addressing your relationship issues.

Ensure they have the necessary training and background in relationship and family therapy to address your unique concerns effectively. This includes finding therapists who specialize in trauma if you are dealing with issues related to past trauma affecting your relationship.
