Common Signs Your Relationship Might Need Couples Therapy

Many couples wait until they feel overwhelmed before reaching out for support, even though difficulties often begin long before things feel unmanageable. But when the tension becomes a pattern, couples counselling can offer a way forward, helping you reconnect and understand each other. Some signs you and your partner should consider attending couples therapy: 

• Conversations often feel tense, defensive, or misunderstood
• Arguments escalate quickly or repeat without resolution
• Emotional or physical intimacy has noticeably declined
• One or both partners withdraw or avoid important discussions
• Trust has been affected by secrecy, dishonesty, or breaches of commitment
• You feel more like housemates than partners
• Contempt, sarcasm, or name-calling has entered your interactions
• Power struggles or control dynamics surface in everyday decisions
• One person carries most of the emotional or practical load
• Small issues trigger disproportionate reactions or ongoing resentment
• Both partners feel unheard or unsafe expressing honest feelings
• Efforts to solve problems alone have not led to meaningful change

Why Choose Couples Counselling in Singapore

More couples in Singapore seek therapy not only during crisis but as a way to strengthen communication and prevent long-term conflict. According to a report by The Straits Times, couples who married in 2011 and beyond have seen fewer divorces, with counsellors attributing this to early access to marital counselling, which is proof that timely guidance can make a lasting difference.

Types of Couples Counselling We Offer

We offer focused counselling support for couples at different stages of their relationship journey. Whether you’re navigating long-standing challenges, preparing for marriage, or working through major transitions, our couples therapist provides a supportive space for conversations that help both individuals engage with intention and move forward together.

Relationship Counselling

Relationship counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and work on the recurring issues that may be disrupting your connection. Whether you’re struggling to communicate clearly, feeling emotionally distant, or navigating unresolved conflict, sessions are structured to help both couples understand their roles in this partnership and reconnect with shared goals.

Pre-Marriage Counselling

Pre-marriage counselling focuses on aligning expectations around finances, intimacy, family planning, communication, and values. Sessions are tailored to explore compatibility, address areas of potential conflict, and equip you with skills to manage disagreements constructively. This process offers clarity and mutual understanding, so both partners can move into marriage feeling confident and aligned in their decision and shared future.

Marriage Counselling

Marriage counselling supports couples through the evolving challenges that can surface over the course of a long-term relationship. Whether you’re experiencing increased tension, feeling disconnected, or struggling to recover from setbacks, therapy helps you explore patterns, improve communication, and reconnect emotionally. Sessions focus on practical changes and mutual understanding that support growth and a renewed sense of partnership in your daily life.

Infidelity Counselling

Infidelity counselling offers structured, non-judgemental support for couples facing betrayal or trust breaches. Whether emotional or physical, betrayal often leaves behind confusion, grief, and disconnection. These sessions provide a guided process to help both partners express their emotions, understand the rupture, and explore whether and how they wish to move forward. The focus is on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and supporting each person in making choices that honour their individual and shared needs.

Tailored Support for Every Stage of Your Relationship

Every relationship evolves, bringing with it new dynamics, challenges, and opportunities for growth. Therefore, our counselling sessions are adapted to suit the needs of couples at every phase, offering practical tools, emotional insight, and a supportive environment to foster connection.

Dating	Newly Married	Long Term	Post Children
Couples counselling during the dating stage can help you clarify expectations, improve communication, and navigate conflicts early. A couple therapist supports couples in building a strong, intentional foundation before making long-term commitments.	Early marriage counselling helps couples adjust to new roles and responsibilities. It provides space to align goals, address minor tensions before they grow, and learn healthy ways to support each other through change.	For couples in long-term relationships, counselling offers the opportunity to reconnect emotionally, address unresolved patterns, and make space for both partners to feel seen, heard, and valued.	As parenting shifts your focus, couple dynamics can take a backseat. Counselling helps you manage stress, redefine intimacy, and maintain a strong partnership while supporting your growing family.

Couples Therapy Methods We Use

At All in the Family, our approach to couples counselling is grounded in research-based methods that aim to build stronger, resilient relationships.

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method begins with a detailed relationship checkup—an assessment tool that evaluates a couple’s strengths and areas of concern. From there, therapy focuses on addressing patterns that contribute to distress, including the well-known “Four Horsemen” that often appear in relationships under strain. Couples work through nine core principles to improve communication, increase respect, and restore emotional connection. This method is widely used to help couples manage conflict, build trust, and maintain long-term relationship stability.

EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)

Emotionally Focused Therapy is rooted in adult attachment theory and focuses on reshaping emotional responses between partners. Through guided sessions, couples identify recurring interaction cycles that lead to disconnection or conflict. With the therapist’s support, they learn to express core emotions openly and respond to each other with greater empathy. EFT is particularly supportive for couples navigating fear, anger, betrayal, or distance in the relationship, and helps create a stronger emotional bond grounded in safety and responsiveness.

What to Expect from Couples Counselling

Beginning with Clarity	Setting Shared Goals	Practising New Tools	Progressing at Your Pace
Your first session focuses on understanding your relationship’s unique history and concerns. Together, you and your therapist will explore the dynamics at play and begin identifying the patterns that may be contributing to conflict.	Once your relationship concerns are clearly outlined, you’ll work collaboratively to define goals for therapy. These may include improving communication, rebuilding trust, or strengthening emotional connection—whatever matters most to the couple.	As sessions progress, you’ll learn and apply practical strategies designed to improve everyday interactions. This may include conflict de-escalation techniques, communication frameworks, or exercises that support emotional responsiveness.	Every couple moves through therapy differently. Some focus on immediate issues, while others unpack long-standing dynamics. Your therapist will support you in progressing at a pace that feels manageable and constructive for both of you.

What if My Partner Doesn’t Want to Attend Couples Counselling?

It’s not uncommon for one partner to feel hesitant about starting therapy. If your partner isn’t ready to join, you can still attend sessions on your own. Individual counselling gives you the space to explore your experiences, gain clarity, and begin making positive changes within the relationship. 

Sometimes, this step alone helps encourage your partner to participate later on. Rather than forcing the conversation, consider expressing why attending counselling sessions as a couple matters to you and invite your partner to attend when they feel ready. Change often starts with just one person taking the first step.
