Relationship therapy generally refers to using communication between a therapist and client to assess and solve issues. This relationship counselling is performed by a trained therapist who communicates with groups of clients in order to help resolve conflicts and issues within their relationships. Types of relationships can include couples, families, coworkers, or any other groups who may need professional assistance in learning how to communicate effectively, handle disagreements without escalation, or deal with any personal underlying issues that cause distress within the relationship.
