Love is not the absence of conflict.

Couples therapy isn’t about blame, it’s about understanding. 

Common Challenges Couples Face

Every relationship goes through difficult phases. Many couples wait until things feel unbearable before seeking help — but the truth is, these challenges are far more common than most people realise.

Couples often come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how they got so far apart. Some of the most common issues we help couples work through include:

​

  • Communication breakdowns
    Repeated arguments, misunderstandings, feeling unheard, or avoiding difficult conversations altogether.

​

  • Emotional distance and disconnection
    Feeling more like roommates than partners, loss of intimacy, or a sense that the emotional bond has faded.

​

  • Trust issues
    Infidelity (emotional or physical), secrecy, broken promises, or ongoing doubts that make it hard to feel safe in the relationship.

​

  • Conflict around money, roles, or responsibilities
    Disagreements about finances, parenting, household responsibilities, or unequal emotional labour.

​

  • Intimacy and sexual difficulties
    Mismatched desire, avoidance of physical closeness, unresolved resentment, or feeling rejected or unwanted.

​

  • Parenting stress and family pressures
    Strain caused by raising children, blending families, in-law dynamics, or differing parenting styles.

​

  • Life transitions and external stress
    Career changes, financial pressure, illness, grief, relocation, or major life shifts that place strain on the relationship.

​

  • Recurring patterns that never seem to change
    The same arguments repeating over and over, even after trying to “fix” things on your own.
