Video Transcription

Gosh, we see a whole range of couples. I think any couple can really enter a time in their life when they have difficulties in their relationship. It might be linked to a certain life stage, it might be linked to difficult decisions around do we have children or not? Do we move to a different country or not? Shall I take this job opportunity or not? So, there’s a lot of reasons that might bring people to couples therapy at a particular point in their lives.
