Kate Lawler Says Couples Therapy Helped After Parenting Took a Toll

She credited five years of work with a therapist named Diana for helping the couple protect their marriage during a month-long holiday.

Overview

  • Lawler posted on Instagram on Thursday that she and husband Martin Bojtos attended two couples-therapy sessions during a recent month-long family holiday because parenting has strained their marriage.
  • She described becoming parents as the hardest thing they have navigated as a couple and urged others to “protect your relationship as fiercely as you do your family.”
  • Lawler said the pair have worked regularly with a therapist called Diana for the past five years and that those sessions helped them through the difficulties they faced.
  • Public reaction to her post was largely supportive, with followers praising her honesty and endorsing therapy as a tool for couples under parental pressure.
  • The disclosure builds on Lawler’s earlier openness about postnatal depression and reinforces a wider message that professional support can help partners preserve their relationship during the demands of parenthood.
