Relationship counselling and couple counselling
I offer support to people in relationships of various relationship styles who are experiencing a breakdown in communication, lack of engagement, or maybe seeking improved intimacy or support working through a betrayal or historical issues. Your relationship is the focus of our work, although the partners should expect self-exploration as we work to learn how you relate to each other.
I will support all people in the relationship, and our work would include thinking about your issues differently and then beginning to make changes that, if faced unsupported, may seem daunting or out-of-reach. My impartial approach provides a thoughtful and safe space for everyone in the relationship to think and talk freely about their feelings without being judged.
How does relationship therapy work?
My aim is not to resolve the issues for you but to work with everyone in the relationship and support you in developing your own skills so you can resolve the issues yourselves. I will encourage everyone in the relationship to talk openly with each other; this may, at times, also involve exploring your childhood and past experiences. Together, we will explore your behavioural patterns and communication style, and I will help you develop techniques and strategies to face the issues that brought you to therapy. I will work to support you as a couple to take responsibility for your contribution to the difficulties you are experiencing in your relationship.
I offer an initial phone call, with no further obligation, to help you decide whether you think relationship counselling with me will be helpful.
