Partner Relation Therapy or Couples Therapy addresses the dynamics between partners, focusing on improving communication, resolving conflict, and rebuilding trust. This form of therapy focuses on the pattern of interactions between two people, while allowing for the individual histories and contributions of each member.
Therapist competences. Partner Relation Therapy demands more specific competences from your therapist than individual therapy. What makes a good couple therapist is his/her capacity to steadily shift from:
- creating a bonding with each partner
- to working with the couple as a unit
- whilst serving as “translator” for the couple, in the direction of (re-)creation of new and healthy bonding.
Methods: In our practice we help couples navigate challenges, using a repertoire of methods, fitted to the particularities of each problematic and pattern of interactions, including among others:
- Narrative Therapy
