Couples Counselling offers an opportunity to explore the conflicts or difficulties in your relationship and to build on its strengths. It can help you to understand what has led to the present struggles and confusions, and it offers a means to explore with me how to move forwards towards positive change.

The work can include:

• Exploration of how you interact and relate to each other

• Gaining clarity about the issues that are behind your conflicts

• Making sense of your relationship history

• Identifying past influences that affect your present situation

• Practical support in planning and negotiating ways forward in areas such as: re-establishing trust and intimacy, managing work/relationship balance, family needs, ways to have personal and relationship space

It can lead to:

• A greater mutual understanding

• More openness and honesty within the relationship

• Clarity about why things have changed and become difficult

• Clarity about the stress factors that influence the relationship and how to work with these

• Renewed or deeper intimacy in the relationship

• Improved communication and trust
