Couples Counselling

COUPLES, RELATIONSHIP & MARRIAGE COUNSELLING

Our quality of life can often be defined by the value of our relationships. We desire the company of others and no matter what personality type we have, our quality of life is improved by experiencing positive, strong and long-lasting relationships. Although I specialise in couples counselling, individual relationship counselling could also be valuable for improving and maintaining the quality of your relationship.

People seek help from me because they are experiencing problems in their relationship. For example, you may be struggling to be intimate, or experiencing feelings of jealousy, mistrust and anger. Perhaps you have different expectations or feel there is imbalance in the relationship. You may find that you are repeating the same patterns in your relationships.

Relationships can be satisfying, caring, nurturing, loving, generous and much more but they can also be challenging, unproductive, boring and even scary. There are many conflict situations that can, in time, be resolved through relationship counselling. Relationship counselling is an essential tool if those conflicts are starting to negatively affect the relationship. An occasional argument be healthy, but if it is constant, it will be a source of stress and unhappiness.

HOW I CAN HELP:

I will act as an impartial outsider. My techniques will facilitate discussion between you and your partner and my aim is to also help you both identify any triggers or patterns that are causing problems in your relationship. I work with all relationship difficulties whether you are in a couple or on your own, regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion or ethnicity. What’s important to me is helping you to understand and improve your relationship.
