Couples counselling
All relationships go through difficult times. It's how, as a couple, we handle them that can make a difference. Usually, couples think about entering into couples counselling when years of resentment and bitterness have built up. These may be some of the factors affecting you:
- Having children
- Blended families / second relationships / Step children
- Financial difficulties
- Affairs
- Inequality of power
- Sexual difficulties
You may be experiencing some of the following:
- After a conversation you feel misunderstood
- Fear of bringing a subject up in case it makes things worse
- Blaming
- Conversations that go round in circles
What I can offer
- Listening to both partners without judging
- Understanding the underlying feelings beneath the presenting problems
- Helping to change fixed patterns of relating
- Supporting you both in the strengths that you have to find a solution or a compromise that is right for you
