Relationships are as individual as the people in them. | The Gottman institute states "69% of most conflict in relationships is perpetual". Couples can either dialogue about these perpetual issues or live in a state of painful impasse". |
The aim of Couples & Relationship Counselling includes;
| Improve effective Communication & dialogue | Methods of managing conflict within relationships. | Develop a shared meaning. | Management of stress |
| Minimise Blaming behaviour | Nurture strengths & help identify our own experiences of relationships. | Identify Attachment difficulties from childhood experiences. |
Love & acceptance is a core emotional need. Whether you are straight or L.G.B.T.Q.I.A+.
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.
