Couple counselling is offered to matriculated students and their partners (who may or may not be enrolled at NUS) who may be experiencing a loss of understanding and commitment in their relationship. The aim of couple counselling is to help partners communicate their issues in a manner where both parties feel heard and understood. With more understanding from both partners about the conflict in their relationship, the counselling staff will explore with them possible solutions.

Similar to individual counselling, CPS maintains strict confidentiality regarding all information shared by clients except in cases of imminent threat to life or a court order.

Staff trained and with experience in couple / family therapy will be assigned to provide such counselling.

Students should seek couple counselling if they want to improve the relationship and stay with their partners. If one party has already decided to leave the relationship, couple counselling is not a way to “save” the relationship.

Couple counselling will also not be offered for relationships where there is on-going violence or abuse. Clients will be encouraged to seek individual counselling at CPS should they be NUS students.

The number of sessions is similar to that of individual counselling.
