Counselling Couples
I have specialist training in couples counselling, and many of my clients are couples working to resolve relationship issues. I may be able to help you if, for example, you have experienced difficulties in one or more of the following areas:
Communication
Communication
- Do you find yourselves arguing all the time over petty things or over the same unresolved important issues? I could help you learn to communicate more effectively and try to resolve the issues causing arguments. Perhaps you need to develop assertiveness in order to deal with your anger or your partner's anger more effectively.
Intimacy - Do you wish you were closer, able to confide in each other and be more affectionate?
Relationship crisis/ insecurity - Are you or your partner suffering from insecure thoughts which upset you both, or from a lack of trust? Perhaps you feel there has been a breach of trust.
- Has one of you been involved with someone else and are you both now trying to work out how or whether to move forwards?
- Are you or your partner considering opening your relationship to some form of ethical nonmonogamy?
Commitment - Are either or both of you unsure about your compatibility or whether you have a future together?
Sex - Have either of you experienced recent or continual sexual difficulties?
Couples are encouraged to attend either together. Sometimes, however, one partner will come initially to discuss the situation, and the other partner will join them after one or more sessions.
I work with couples whatever their sexual orientation.
