Relationship Counselling

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us” – Helen Keller

• Is there more conflict with your partner?
• Are you and you partner communicating less?
• Do you find you are now wanting different things?

I provide relationship therapy to both individuals and couples and work with a wide range of issues that may be impacting a relationship.  In addition I work with those who have difficulty embarking on or maintaining a relationship.  I can help with building your self-confidence and finding out who you are and what you want.

Relationships can change for a variety of reasons and you may find that it is quite different from the one you started.  The relationship can change over time as one or both parties to the relationship may change.

It is often difficult to take an objective stance and to really see one another’s perspectives when a relationship is having difficulties.  This can be further complicated by outside factors and opinions.  Coming for relationship therapy with an independent person who has experience in working with relationships and couples, the relationship and the couple can be supported in a safe environment to explore their difficulties with the knowledge that the support is confidential, non-judgemental and impartial.

Some of the relationship issues I work with include:

When you feel you may need counselling it is important you choose someone who is caring, empathic and someone you feel able to trust.  It is also important that the counsellor has had the proper training and experience.  It is useful to find someone who is a member of BACP or UKCP.  These organisations have a set of standards that their members must satisfy and a code of conduct and ethics that members must adhere to.
