SPECIALITIES

Couples Therapy in Málaga

I support couples who want to improve their communication, resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationship. A professional space where you can work together to recover balance and well-being as a couple.

WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?

The importance of attending couples therapy

Sometimes couples go through crises, difficulties that create distance and make living together more conflictive and less rewarding. Attending couples therapy can be a wise decision that helps resolve dynamics or circumstances that significantly affect both partners, overcoming the crisis and transforming it into greater strength.

Crisis due to time spent living together and emotional wear

Modifying certain aspects of everyday life, routines, communication, problem-solving, etc.

Children have created distance between us

Learning to manage the new variables and challenges involved in parenting, educational styles and the lack of quality time together.

Feelings have changed

Feelings change over time. It is possible to recover enthusiasm and enjoy the aspects we do like about our partner, strengthening commitment, gestures of affection and tenderness.

RECOMMENDED FOR

We work to solve relationship problems

I’ll be delighted to support you. We will work together to manage and understand these crises, providing tools and skills that help approach crises as positive changes, renewed enthusiasm, and a space where the relationship can continue to make sense. Therapy can become, for both of you, a process of learning and change, personal growth, progress, new communication styles, stronger empathy and the healing of wounds. In this way, you will be able to move forward together, strengthened and rebuilding the team you are.

IMPROVING AS PEOPLE THROUGH COUPLES THERAPY

I improve, you improve, we both win. We are a team.

It is common for life changes, the length of the relationship, stress and monotony to affect the couple. Communication changes and becomes mainly focused on daily tasks and obligations, the tiredness of both partners, etc. Couples go through changes and crises. Overcoming them is a challenge that, in my professional experience, is possible.

Couples therapy in cases of addiction

When there is an addiction, couples therapy is carried out at the same time as work on the addiction, on the one hand to support the person and help them understand what is happening to them, and on the other to work on new communication styles, boundaries and other issues.

Children can divide a couple

Educational styles, each partner’s level of commitment and other factors can create distance within the couple. One partner may not find comfort in the other. Learning to manage this will help you become a stronger team to address your child’s situation.

GIVING OURSELVES A CHANCE

Recovering the team we used to be

SEXUALITY IN THE COUPLE

Many factors influence sexuality within the couple. It is important to assess which aspects have deteriorated and to provide techniques and tools to encourage intimacy as an expression of love, pleasure and sharing.

COMMUNICATION IN THE COUPLE

This is what is most often affected by the passage of time, stress and over-familiarity. When someone is important in our lives, we must not neglect how and in what way we communicate.

LEISURE AND FREE TIME IN THE COUPLE

Maintaining some minimum spaces for leisure and free time in the relationship, both together and separately, is beneficial for both partners. Sharing enjoyable moments helps us feel more fulfilled and in a better mood.

ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Society, culture and other factors also influence and affect couples. There are increasingly diverse relationship styles. What is better or not? Why are people afraid of commitment, or why do relationships last less over time? Do I want to continue with my partner? Do I truly love them? I feel confused about several issues…

In a healthy couple relationship, freedom, respect, trust, communication, empathy, clear boundaries and quality time, among other aspects, should prevail.

Creating a healthy bond is the result of putting the above into practice day by day.

Forgiving or not is a free choice that the person must make calmly and thoughtfully, not impulsively or out of resentment. What also has a negative impact is breaking up and getting back together repeatedly.

If the decision is made to forgive, this is a process, and couples therapy can help greatly in clarifying whether I ultimately want to stay with the person or not. If the decision is to continue, reproaches, anger or distrustful behaviours should be avoided, as they directly contaminate the relationship, which would end up becoming more damaged and causing greater suffering for both partners.

In couples therapy, individual issues that affect one partner are also addressed. Skills and techniques are provided to better manage tension, emotions that are not being handled well, stress, and other factors. Boundaries are established by both partners, communication styles are worked on, and quality moments are improved.

In my professional experience, these issues improve, because when couples attend therapy, both partners are willing to make changes and work on themselves.

There are currently many relationship styles. If your partner brings this up, first ask yourself whether this is really what you want, and whether you would feel comfortable with it, as it cannot be something imposed or accepted out of a desire to please them or fear of losing them. Secondly, it is important to explore what has happened for them to suggest it, in what way, and with what boundaries or parameters they want an open relationship.

A person should always feel good in a relationship. If sustained suffering begins to appear over time, it is a sign that something is not going well and that decisions will need to be made. Attending couples therapy may benefit both of you in order to establish agreements and make decisions.
