RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING
RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING
A healthy relationship is one of the foundations that provide couples with emotional stability and meaning in life. Every relationship has its ups and downs and challenging seasons but how we handle those times can test that foundation.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- You can’t talk to your partner without getting back into an argument.
- You feel you just don’t matter anymore.
- The arrival of a new baby has created stress and disconnection.
- You feel more like roommates than lovers.
- You’ve been betrayed by an affair but you both want the relationship to work.
- You are contemplating separation or divorce.
- You are grieving a loss.
Relationship and marriage expert, Dr John Gottman tells us on average couples wait six years before seeking help that’s a long time of being unhappy, continuing negative patterns and dwindling intimacy. I believe you both deserve better.
As an experienced relationship counsellor drawing on my post-degree training in the Gottman Method of Couple Counselling, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), research-based therapies and being happily married for over thirty years, means I have a wealth of knowledge to help you and your partner.
If you’d like to increase your respect, affection and closeness, breakthrough and resolve conflict when you feel stuck and rebuild trust please contact me to book your relationship counselling appointment. I look forward to hearing from you.
