WHY THIS MATTERS

Couples therapy is not individual therapy with two people in the room.

Couples therapy is not individual therapy with two people in the room.

It requires specialised training — in de-escalation, attachment patterns, managing high-conflict conversations, navigating cultural dynamics, and holding neutrality. In India, an estimated 90% of therapists offering couples work have no formal training in it. When your relationship or marriage is at stake, the therapist's training isn't a nice-to-have. It's everything.
