Couple Counselling
As with family therapy I recognise that every couple is different and their desires for the quality of relationship is also different. There are times when most couples struggle in their most intimate relationship be it regarding children, money, sex, infertility, alcohol, in-laws or whatever is causing conflict. I offer a non-judgemental, safe environment so that couples can explore difficulties together. If the couple desires to stay together I offer an integrative approach that has a systemic basis but also will reflect on early childhood attachment issues that may be impacting the relationship in the present.
Like with family work I will explore with you your patterns and those that have travelled unconsciously with you through generations. Together we can identify where the real problem lies and aim to work towards new and more effective and rewarding ways for you to interact with one another. Often the recognition of unconscious assumtions or beliefs and where these have come from is enough for them to be released, at other times we may need to discuss and try new ideas or ways of behaving before knowing what is more productive for the relationship. It is challenging but potentially rewarding work.
If couples choose to separate I can help facilitate the ending.
