Couples/Relationship Counselling
Couples Counselling can be a positive experience at any time in the development of a relationship. All relationships pass through different stages and can be subjected to pressure for a range of reasons which has an impact on how each individual relates to the other.
Personal relationships are part of what we value most in life, and it takes courage to seek help for a problem when it involves how you relate to another person - particularly when that person is close to you.
Very often, relationship counselling is helpful when one or both of you are feeling misunderstood or isolated, or when you identify negative and destructive patterns. My clients come with a variety of concerns including:
breakdowns in communication
parenting
fertility
sexual relations
infidelity
financial pressures
loss or bereavements
work issues
transitions including preparing for marriage or managing a separation
cultural differences
age differences
I have experience of working with a diverse range of relationships including both heterosexual and same sex couples
Having a third, objective person there, providing a safe, supportive and held space to talk things through, can make a huge difference. That is what I will provide in our sessions. In addition, I will work with you, using tools and techniques that you can then use outside of our sessions.
