Frequently Asked Questions
Counselling for Couples in South Dublin and Online
How much does it cost for couples counselling?
Prices for Couples Therapy vary. My fee is set at a moderate rate of €80 per session and sessions are for 50 minutes. Whilst weekly sessions are good initially, often fortnightly sessions can work better allowing time between the sessions. This can also help if cost is an issue.
What happens in Couples Counselling?
In Couples Counselling the relationship is the focus of the therapy. It allows for each party to address and express their difficulties within the relationship in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment. It also offers ways of seeing these issues with a view to improvement in the relationship.

Marriage counselling is a very good way of understanding each other’s expectations of the marriage. It can address such issues as individual needs within the marriage, commitment, children and families, external families, intimacy and finances.
