If your relationship isn’t quite working as you’d hoped, I hope you consider seeing me for Relationship Counselling.

Today, people are trying to fit more into their lives – family, work, finances, children etc.- sadly, the breaking point can be our relationships. However, some solutions learned in therapy might be able to save your relationship.

Maybe you can have a much more pleasurable and harmonious life together

Do you feel that you and your partner are no longer working with and for each other, instead, you now seem to be working against each other. Is there constant conflict and things just never seem to get resolved?

Are your discussions often destructive instead of constructive? Or, perhaps you’re becoming a little disconnected and want to get back on the same page?

Here are some other common relationship sticking points:

• Changes in levels of intimacy
• Not feeling that your opinions and emotions are being validated
• Being frustrated at your partner
• The feeling that you aren’t being heard
• A loss of fun
• Feeling lost in the relationship
• Feeling unappreciated
• Not feeling respected by your partner

People who are in relationships that aren’t running perhaps as smoothly as they would like generally have three choices ahead of them:

1. Maintain the status quo and hope it gets better by itself
2. End the relationship
3. Repair and improve the relationship

Option 3 is probably your preference, but do you have the skills to correct the issues without expert support? Will this get better without some form of intervention? What are you missing?

My approach to relationship counselling

I believe the best Relationship Counselling focuses on helping you grow greater awareness of each other, develop greater resilience against future stresses, and have the skills to navigate life better together.

It might not come as a great surprise, however, one way of potentially helping your relationship is through the use of better communication.

I generally use and teach elements from Transactional Analysis to help couples hopefully find better ways of communicating. More details on that strategy can be found here.

We also identify your Schemas, and there is a big focus on developing and using Validation skills as well.

No two couples are the same though, so I will tailor my approach to you around who you are and what your particular needs/circumstances are.

I understand that it may not be easy to reach out and ask for some assistance, however, I can assure you that my approach is warm, welcoming, non-judgmental, and solutions-focused.

I offer online relationship counselling sessions during business hours and after hours too. More details on me can be found here, if you would like to make an appointment with me, either by yourself initially, or with your partner, please make a booking here.

Or, if you have any further questions, please feel free to send me a confidential message through the Contact Us page.
