COUPLES
Are you struggling to communicate effectively in your relationship? Finding that you are stuck in the same argument over and over again? Looking for a space where you can talk through household conflicts, intimacy or betrayal issues, or parenting differences?
The good news is that couples counselling can help – According to the American Psychological Association, it has been proven to be roughly 75 percent effective in reducing levels of relational distress and driving positive outcomes amongst couples from a range of different cultural groups.
Having worked and trained as a relationship therapist at Relate, I have extensive experience of seeing how couple therapy can be key to driving a deeper connection with your partner.
My goal is to offer a non-judgmental space for growth, change, and a deeper connection.
At first, I will work with you to help you identify and clarify the issues or problems you are facing in your relationship. If relationship counselling is the best way forward, you will embark on a series of counselling sessions – anything between six and twelve sessions is usual, but it will depend on the issues you want to address.
Where do we begin?
To check that we are a fit for each other, new clients undertake an initial assessment with me before counselling starts: Following an initial joint session, each partner will be invited to have an individual session with me before we then meet again as a three. This is to enable you to voice anything which you might find difficult to speak about in front of each other or to ask or address anything that you wish to, in confidence.
