Duo-Counselling
Duo Counselling is a form of couple counselling (otherwise known as relationship counselling - click here to find out more) whereby two therapists simultaneously work with you and your partner to try to resolve relationship problems. Duo counselling is a more expensive form of couple counselling that has a number of additional benefits.
Both counsellors are trained couple counsellors and maintain an equal footing in the session. By having a counsellor effectively opposite each client, they are individually supported. The feeling that they have to compete for the validation of the one counsellor is removed.
Secondly, duo-counselling enables the counsellors to move between active and passive roles. By alternating between talking to the couple and sitting back and watching the relationship, the counselling is enhanced by the additional insights of these passive observations. Effectively, two counsellors are able to be far more perceptive than one.
As with relationship counselling, the sessions are held every other week and are 50 minutes in length.
