Couple and Relationship Counselling

In a long-term relationship, there will always be times when we have to work at being close to our partner. Misunderstandings can escalate, feelings of hurt and rejection become entrenched, and without help, these patterns of behaviour and hurt can lead to feelings that the relationship is stuck, or even damaged beyond repair. Couple counselling can help, but In reality, we have to recognise that in a long-term committed relationship, it is unreal to expect that we will not sometimes see things differently to our partner, we may prioritise differently, and we may sometimes want different things. It is also true, that unwittingly we may bring our past experiences and unmet expectations into the present and project past hurt and misunderstandings onto our partner. In counselling my aim is to uncover and resolve feelings and emotions that are undermining the foundations of the relationship. Working in partnership with you both, I offer a neutral, safe and supportive environment in which to explore the issues that have brought you both to counselling.
