You will both have the chance to explain your concerns and your therapist will ensure both perspectives are heard. That's completely okay. If your partner isn't ready, you are still very welcome to come on your own. Individual therapy can help you explore your feelings, gain clarity, and think through what feels right for you and your relationship. There is no fixed number of sessions. Some couples attend for a short period to resolve a specific issue, while others choose longer-term support. Sessions are booked one at a time, so there is no requirement to commit in advance. Yes. All sessions are confidential and follow professional ethical guidelines. Confidentiality would only be broken if your therapist believed there was a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or if there was a legal obligation to disclose information.
