Couples counselling Barcelona

Couples counseling is a series of sessions during which the therapist meets with the couple together or separately. The couples counseling that we offer at Proyecto ART is focused on solving the central conflict of the couple that prevents them from progressing and / or causes suffering.

During the sessions, the relationship co-created by the members of the couple is worked on, but it is inevitable to focus on the relational patterns of each one separately to understand the dynamics of the relationship.

The role of the therapist is to help the couple find solutions and not advise them what to do directly.

Couples therapy is useful for those people who cannot progress with their relationship, suffer from a complicated period marked by a conflict or painful event, cannot communicate without discussions or do not find the happiness as before.

Couples counseling is a useful resource to improve the quality of relationships and to solve problems. In some cases it is the last resort that couples try before a divorce or separation.

Topics that can be worked on in couples therapy:

• conflicts
• sexual problems
• infidelities
• lack of desire
• changes, etc.

The couples therapy process usually begins with 1 to 3 sessions to explore the main issue that brings the couple to therapy, the context in which it occurs, and the broader context of the relationship itself. These sessions are conducted by a psychologist and psychotherapist specializing in couples therapy.

Next, we hold one session with each partner—either separately or together—to understand each person’s relational patterns and how they contribute to the problem. These individual sessions are held with the same couples therapist, unless you decide to start an individual therapy process simultaneously. In that case, the individual psychotherapist would be different from the couples therapist. However, thanks to our teamwork philosophy at our couples psychology center, the couples therapist and the individual therapist collaborate so that the patient does not have to share their relationship history all over again.

The subsequent follow-up sessions focus on working to resolve the issue that brought the couple to therapy.
