Couple Therapy

Couples therapy usually consists of meetings attended by couples together and led by a therapist. The therapist uses various techniques to address problems in the couple's relationship and improve the relationship. During the couples therapy process, these steps are usually followed:

• Joint sessions: The therapist organizes sessions in which couples join together. In these sessions, couples' problems are discussed, their communication is improved, and their relationships are discussed. The therapist uses various techniques to help couples better understand each other and solve problems.
• Individual sessions: During the couple therapy process, if necessary, the therapist has individual sessions with the partners to discuss the partner's perspectives on the relationship in more detail. If there is something that the partners hide from each other, it is not appropriate to share it with the therapist.
• Individual sessions: During the couple therapy process, if necessary, the therapist holds individual sessions with the partners, and the partner's perspectives regarding the relationship are discussed in more detail. There is no secret policy in couples therapy. If partners do have secrets from one another, they should not tell those secrets to the therapist. If done so, the process will be terminated.
• Progress assessment: The therapist evaluates the progress of the couple and monitors the development of their relationship. This assessment shows the couple's progress and helps the therapist adjust the therapy process.
