Relationship Counselling

Love, Sex and Relationships

Relationships are tricky most of the time. They can be on one of three states - functioning, breaking or broken. Counselling can proactively help you improve relationships that seem flat, uninspired or dull, and when things go awry, counselling can also help with helping re-establish happy, healthy and functional relationships. Please don't wait until things are at crisis point - book an appointment to work on your relationship or if you are not sure, book in for a free 15 minute consult via telephone.

If we are not mindful of our relationships, break-ups and conflict can seem to come out of nowhere. My approach is to address it from a needs perspective couched within the Gottman evidence-based approach and along with aspects of Stan Tatkin's PACT approach. When needs are not satisfied, there is a human tendency to look elsewhere. We are all works-in-progress, and no-one does relationships perfectly, myself included!  

Relationships that may need a 'tune-up' experience the warning signs: 
  • your interactions with your partner feel draining, may include constant arguments or niggles.
  • you feel fatigued, resentful, dissatisfied or unhappy.
  • you don't feel like having sex as often or it isn't what it used to be (after the initial phase of meeting).
  • one of you spends increasing time on social activities and interests outside the relationship.
  • you feel fatigued, possibly entertain the thought of escape, plan your life without the other, or have suicidal thoughts if you feel trapped.
  • either or both of you have an addiction problem affecting the relationship.

If you experience some of these signs in your relationship, consider what you can do to look at the problem, if you want your relationship to get better or survive. There is always hope and there is always help. I work with individuals (personal relationship counselling) and couples (couples counselling). Make an appointment today.
