Are you having communication difficulties or feel like you are both growing apart? or has your relationship been affected by a betrayal? or is being affected by a partner having an addiction or behaviour that is damaging your relationship?
In couple relationships working well, both partners can tune into, respect & respond to their own & each other's emotional needs.
Relationship counselling helps you to go deeper into understanding yourself & your partner, this helps you both understand what happens between you both.
I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy & Emotional Focussed Therapy in my work. I provide communication tools that enable you both to approach communicating more effectively.
