The primary goal of individual therapy is to enhance self-awareness by exploring thoughts and behavior patterns, ultimately improving overall functioning and well-being. Therapy provides a supportive space to develop effective strategies for managing stress, navigating interpersonal challenges, and coping with difficult situations. Through this process, individuals can cultivate the skills to make healthier decisions, set realistic goals, and foster personal growth. 

The primary goal of couples therapy is to enhance relationship quality and reduce distress by promoting healthier communication and fostering a deeper emotional connection. This process can help couples navigate a range of challenges, including infidelity, betrayal, trust issues, communication barriers, conflict resolution, power dynamics, and balancing needs and compromises. By working together in therapy, partners may strengthen their bond, improve understanding, and create a more fulfilling relationship. 

The primary goal of child and family therapy is to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and support the emotional and psychological well-being of the child within the context of the family unit. More specifically, it aims to help children manage emotions, behaviour, and developmental challenges; improve parent-child and sibling relationships; resolve family conflict, and build healthier dynamics; foster secure attachment and trust; enhance family resilience and problem-solving skills; support parents in understanding and effectively responding to their child's needs.
