Behavioural Couples Therapy (BCT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on improving the relationship between couples by addressing specific behavioural patterns and communication styles. It is based on the idea that the way couples interact with each other can greatly influence their overall relationship satisfaction. It aims to help couples understand and change negative patterns of interaction, communicate more effectively, resolve conflict in a healthier way, and increase positive behaviours towards each other.

Some examples of when couples  present for help include when there are difficulties in communication leading to misunderstandings, frustration, resentment or frequent conflict, when there are trust issues following infidelity, when there are problems with physical or emotional intimacy and when there have been major life transitions including having a baby or changing careers.  

The goal is to help both partners work together to create lasting, positive changes in the relationship.
