Harmony Couples Therapy is a service for Couples Counselling in Bristol.
When your relationship is not as harmonious as you would like, couples counselling can really help.
When it feels like you’re at a stalemate rather than being soulmates, some support can make a big difference. It can take courage to seek support and yet couples counselling offers an opening to more harmonious and loving relating.
What is the difference between couples counselling and couples therapy in Bristol?
Couples counselling tends to be shorter term than couples therapy, often around 12 weekly sessions, but this can be from as little as 6 sessions. It focuses more on the present and immediate issues you are facing and how to improve these. The past can be drawn on to illuminate the present, but the focus is on the present, e.g. looking at communication issues around day to day concerns and using specific techniques to help.
Couples therapy is usually longer term, often longer than 12 weekly sessions, and for as long as needed. The focus is more on looking at the root cause of particular issues and understanding patterns of behaviour.
