You can expect your marriage counsellor to be patient, friendly, easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. This will allow you to feel that you are being heard, taken seriously and understood. You can also expect the therapist to be skillful, have knowledge, and use it rather than simply listen to you. In collaboration with you and your partner, the marriage counsellor will develop a couple therapy plan with clear goals and methods. The therapist will then guide the therapeutic process according to that plan.

People often ask, “Does marriage counselling work?” Not kind of or sort of, but “Does marriage counselling really help?” Some think that they will receive marriage tips or marriage advice that may or may not work. Others expect a couple’s counsellor to lecture them on how to save a marriage, and then they would go home and be left to their own devices. This was the case 30 or 40 years ago. Since then, new marriage counselling theory and techniques have been developed that allow the couple to take their relationship to a new level. When both partners are willing to work on the relationship, marriage counselling really works. Communication skills improve significantly. The frequency of arguing at home is reduced. The intensity of relationship arguments is reduced significantly.

The marriage counselling relationship is a joint project between you and your marriage counsellor. It is expected of the counsellor to be attentive and knowledgeable in the area of your concern. It is expected of you to be open and honest about your issues. If these conditions are met, couples counselling is very effective. After the first session, you will be able to decide if the marriage counsellor is a good fit for you.

Initially, many couples attend marriage counselling on a weekly basis. As couples begin to feel more confident in their relationship the frequency of appointments is usually reduced. At Rosen Couples Counselling the average time spent with a couple is 6-12 sessions. This is significantly less than an average number of sessions on marriage counselling and couples therapy in Vaughan.

As a result, you will have some certainty and control over the process of couples counselling. People often describe going in circles with their marriage counsellors and couple therapists. When Vitali Rosen works with a couple, he either keeps moving the needle forward or openly discusses with the couple if the process is not going forward. As a result, you spend less money overall compared to other therapists in Vaughan even though the fee per session is higher compared to other marriage counsellors in Vaughan and the rest of Ontario.

If you are coping with relationship issues without getting stressed out or feeling stuck you do not need to come for marriage counselling. Even though from time to time you might not perform up to your standards you are probably using some effective strategies on your own. If, however, you do feel stuck and hopeless, receiving qualified guidance will help you find hope more effectively than doing it on your own.

Remember, no matter what situation you are in right now, no matter what has happened in your past, and no matter how desperate things might seem you deserve a chance for a better marriage. Vitali Rosen is one of the few relationship specialists in Vaughan whose caseload is predominantly filled with couples as opposed to individuals, children or families.
