Expert Couple & Marriage Counseling in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Relationships are one of the most important parts of our lives, yet they can also be one of the most challenging. Many couples experience difficulties such as constant arguments, lack of understanding, or unresolved personal issues that affect their relationship. When problems become overwhelming, Couple Therapy and Marriage Counseling can provide the right guidance to rebuild connection and improve communication.
At our center, therapists use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodrama techniques. While CBT is most commonly applied, therapists combine different methods based on the couple’s specific needs to ensure the most effective outcomes.
Why Do Couple Problems Happen?
Relationship difficulties usually arise from a combination of factors. Some of the most common include:
-
Poor Problem-Solving Skills: Couples may struggle to resolve conflicts effectively, leading to repetitive arguments.
-
Lack of Understanding: Partners often feel unheard or misunderstood, which creates emotional distance.
-
Personal Mental Health Issues: Depression, anxiety, personality disorders, or unresolved trauma can interfere with healthy communication.
-
Negative Cognitions: Unhelpful thought patterns (e.g., “My partner never cares about me”) influence how partners perceive and react to each other.
These challenges, if left unaddressed, can lead to emotional disconnection, resentment, and even separation.
How Therapists Help in Couple Therapy & Marriage Counseling
Therapists act as neutral facilitators who provide a safe, non-judgmental space for both partners to express their thoughts and feelings. Some of the key ways therapy helps include:
-
Conflict Management: Teaching couples healthier ways to discuss disagreements without escalating into fights.
-
Improved Communication: Helping partners express needs clearly and listen actively to one another.
-
Identifying Thought Patterns: Using CBT techniques, therapists help couples recognize negative cognitions that fuel misunderstandings and replace them with more balanced perspectives.
-
Emotional Regulation: Through DBT tools, partners learn to manage intense emotions during conflicts.
-
Role-Play and Expression: Psychodrama techniques allow couples to “step into each other’s shoes,” fostering deeper empathy and understanding.
-
Validation and Relief: Clients feel heard when the therapist listens without judgment, which often brings emotional relief and reduces tension.
Over time, couples learn practical tools that not only resolve current conflicts but also strengthen their relationship for the future.
Session Duration and Flexibility
-
Standard Session Time: Each session usually lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, giving both partners enough space to share their perspectives.
-
Flexibility: Depending on the couple’s needs and the intensity of the issues, sessions may be shorter or longer. Therapists tailor the duration to ensure the most effective outcome.
When Should Couples Seek Therapy?
Couple Therapy and Marriage Counseling can be helpful in many situations, such as:
-
Frequent arguments or unresolved conflicts
-
Trust issues and infidelity recovery
-
Lack of emotional or physical intimacy
-
Difficulties in communication and understanding
-
Managing stress from external factors (work, family, finances)
-
Adjusting to life transitions (marriage, parenthood, relocation)
-
Personal mental health issues affecting the relationship

Every relationship has its ups and downs, but when problems begin to feel unmanageable, Couple Therapy and Marriage Counseling can make a significant difference.
