Counselling, Psychotherapy & Coaching
Couple Therapy
Are you currently experiencing challenges or difficulties in your relationship? If your relationships is the main area of concern for you then your difficulties are best addressed jointly with your partner. Couple therapy will allow you to understand your behaviour in your relationship better, to develop a better understanding of each other and to consider more effective and positive ways of commmunicating that will help to develop the relationship in more positive ways.
Issues that can be addressed for example include:
- managing arguments and conflicts
- different expectations of the relationship
- lack of connection or intimacy
- managing changes and transitions (e.g. having a baby, children moving out, job loss, bereavement)
- moving through the different stages of relationships
- having different cultural backgrounds
- disagreements about the children's upbringing
- moving on from an affair
- considering a separation
The focus in couples counselling is on the relationship between you. We will look at the interactions between you, establish where and why you experience difficulties and look at ways to implement positive change in your relationship.
