Couples counselling can be both challenging and rewarding for both partners. My aim is to provide an environment of safety and trust in which a couple can reflect on and expand their relationship with each other. This will include exploring individuality, similarities and differences, conflicts, effective communication and sexual connection.
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. We commonly repeat patterns of behaviour and expect a different outcome without changing what we do. I see couples and individuals who want things to be different in their relationships, and I believe there are ways of working through issues that make it easier to accept, change and enrich your life.
There are many reasons for seeking relationship counselling, and if your problems involve any of the following then it is possible that a spell of relationship therapy may help you:
Communication difficulties/arguments
Domestic abuse
Affairs
Jealousy
Commitment anxiety
Survivor of sexual abuse
Infertility
Separation or divorce
Bereavement
Anxiety or depression
New relationships following divorce
Step parenting
