Couples Therapy

They are adapted according to the case and according to the objectives that the couple is looking for, but in general they are the following:

• Assessment (both of the couple’s relationship and of each of its components individually).
• Detection of problems (both of the couple’s relationship and of each of its components individually).
• Strengths or positives aspects (both of the couple’s relationship and of each of its components individually).
• Search for solutions (usually a combination of different strategies specific to each case, together with the work on managing thoughts and emotions typical of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, cohesion between the two, understanding, tools, etc.).
• Maintenance and relapse prevention (once the expected results have been achieved and the relationship between the two partners has improved, we will try to ensure that this is maintained, and that the relationship is stronger and more solid, in order to prevent possible future conflicts and relapses).
