Wombat is an Online Psychology Clinic: Connecting You to Couples Therapy From the Comfort of Your Home

Three Signs of Relationship Stress

Emotional Withdrawal

In a stressed relationship, partners may start to emotionally withdraw, showing less affection and avoiding vulnerability. This distance can weaken the connection, making conflict resolution and intimacy more difficult.

Frequent Criticism

Stress can lead to an increase in criticism, where partners focus on each other's flaws and mistakes. This constant negativity can create resentment and further strain the relationship.

Decreased Quality Time

Relationship stress often results in less quality time together. Partners may become too busy or distracted, leading to fewer shared activities and weakening their bond.

  • Couples therapy, also known as relationship counseling or marriage counseling, is a form of therapy designed to help couples navigate challenges in their relationship. It addresses issues such as communication breakdowns, trust issues, intimacy concerns, and unresolved conflicts. The goal is to strengthen your bond, improve mutual understanding, and build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

  • Absolutely. Communication issues are one of the most common reasons couples seek therapy. Couples therapy provides tools and techniques to improve how you communicate with each other, helping you express thoughts and feelings more clearly and listen more effectively. By enhancing your communication skills, you can resolve conflicts more peacefully and build a stronger connection.

  • It’s common for one partner to be more hesitant about starting therapy. In such cases, it’s important to approach the subject with empathy and understanding. Our therapists are experienced in working with couples where one partner may be reluctant. Often, the first session can help alleviate concerns by providing a clear understanding of how therapy can benefit both partners and the relationship.

  • In the first couples therapy session, your therapist will take time to understand your relationship dynamics, individual concerns, and the specific challenges you face as a couple. This session is crucial for setting the tone of your therapy journey, establishing goals, and creating a safe space for open dialogue. You’ll work together to identify areas of focus, whether it’s improving communication, rebuilding trust, or resolving recurring conflicts.
