My Therapy journal · General information, not individual clinical advice.
You do not need a finished decision
After an affair, people may want different things from the next conversation: information, understanding, an apology, distance, or a way to reconnect. You can enquire about support without promising a particular outcome for the relationship.
Make the purpose of the sessions clear
Ask what couples sessions would involve, how each person will have space to speak, and how information shared individually is handled. Discussing these arrangements at the beginning can help you decide whether you want to proceed together. The practitioner can also assess whether joint sessions are suitable.
Take the practical questions seriously
You may need to discuss whether to attend individually or together, how to arrange appointments, and what each person hopes the process will help with. Therapy cannot make the decision for you. It can provide a setting to explore what has happened and the choices ahead. A brief appointment enquiry is enough; sensitive details can wait for an appropriate conversation.
Bring your own questions.
The right starting point is personal to you. You can ask about the practitioner’s experience, approach, and availability before arranging an appointment.
