What couples counselling works on
Couples counselling works with two people, and with what happens between them. It does not treat one of them.
Both partners usually attend 1. Couples counselling works on repeated arguments, an affair, sex, money, parenting, or a decision about separating.
It does not rule on who is right. It is not for married couples alone. Ask a practitioner which approach they use.
If you are afraid of your partner, say so to the practitioner before any joint session is booked. Ask to be seen on your own first.
What psychotherapy works on, and how long it usually runs
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do both of us have to come?
Usually. Partners are almost always seen together1. Couples sessions require safety.
Some practitioners will see one partner alone where the other will not attend. Ask what a practitioner does when one person is unwilling.
Is this for married couples only?
No. Couples counselling is for people in a relationship, married or not, of any gender, living together or not. The same practitioners work with couples deciding whether to separate, and with couples who have already separated and are parenting together. Say which of those describes you at first contact.
Will the therapist say who is right?
No. The work is with what happens between two people rather than with a verdict on either of them. Effective work with couples needs its own theories and methods, drawn from research on relationships. Ask a practitioner how they handle it when you disagree in the room.
Can couples counselling be done online?
Yes, and many practitioners offer it. Couples therapy by video shows few significant differences from face-to-face sessions2. Symptom reduction, engagement and the therapeutic alliance are comparable.
Sitting in the same room at home suits some couples and not others. Ask what a practitioner offers.
Who registers therapists in Austria?
Titles you will see include Psychotherapeut and Psychotherapeutin. Search the register by name at Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK). Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why.
