Couples Therapy or Counseling is a joint process between a therapist and the people attending therapy. These terms are often used synonymously although therapy is seen as a more profound process and therefore requires more training.Couples counselling (which can also be referred to as marriage guidance) is a form of therapy that looks to improve communication and resolve issues within an intimate relationship. In contrast to counselling for relationship issues, which can be undertaken solely through individual sessions, couples counselling is a term applied to talk therapy for two people within a relationship.
