Couples and marriage counselling in Dubai

Couples therapy, marriage counselling or relationship counselling: what's the difference?

These are different names for much the same help. Many therapists call it couples therapy. Many married couples call it marriage counselling. Relationship counselling can also mean one person talking about a relationship.

In each case, you talk with a trained therapist about the problems in your relationship. At British Premier, the same psychologists offer all three.

If your children are part of the worries, family therapy brings the whole family together.

How does couples therapy work at British Premier?

1. Book a free call. It's a short call with one of our specialists to understand what you need. No obligation.
2. We match you with a psychologist. Tell us if you'd like sessions in Arabic, French, Hindi, Urdu or Punjabi.
3. Your psychologist listens to what each of you hopes for. Then you agree together what to work on.

You don't need a referral to book.

New to therapy? Here's what therapy is really like, from the first session on.

Which approaches do our couples therapists use?

Ms Priyanka Bhatia Mahendru uses two approaches for couples.

• The Gottman Method. It was developed by Drs John and Julie Gottman. It looks at your friendship, how you handle conflict, and the hopes you share.
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). It looks at the feelings under your arguments. It aims to help partners feel close and safe with each other.

Our other couples psychologists also work with families, including parents who want to work together on parenting.

Can I come to relationship counselling on my own?

Yes. Our couples psychologists also see adults on their own, so you can talk about your relationship one to one.

In your sessions, you can look at your relationship, the patterns you keep falling into, and what you want.

You may want support for other worries too. Our psychologists in Dubai also offer therapy and counselling for adults.
