Increase in people seeking therapy for relationship issues
The festive season, Christmas and New Year is upon us. Whilst this is a time for family get together and celebrations, it is also a time when most couples take a break from their day to day routine, slow down to spend time together, and then realise that there are issues they needed to address in their relationship.
According to BACP, couples counsellors often see a spike in enquiries after Christmas and the new year. To be more specific, their Mindometer survey shows that more than half (58%) of therapists have reported an increase in clients presenting with relationship issues in the past year. And although they’ve said the issues that couples are coming to therapy for have changed in the past few years – with more now seeking help because of the impact of social media on their relationships, there are couples who are still seeking therapy for common issues such as communication, intimacy, finance and commitment.

Therapy can help couples establish what’s going on under the surface and deal with that issue as a team.
