Couple Counselling
- The relationship you have with your partner can be the most wonderful, treasured part in your life, where you feel loved, valued, connected and safe. Helping couples create this sort of relationship is what I love to do!
- The sort of issues I help couples with are -
- Emotional pain and the feeling that this relationship just can't go on like this anymore! Where the question of, 'Can we make this work, or are we through', is being seriously considered.
- Couples who want to learn how to move forward together, when one, or both of them, are strugging with anxiety, depression, trauma or addiction.
- Lack of sexual intimacy.
- Broken trust due to unfaithfulness, repeated lack of responsibility, control, secrecy or neglect.
- Differences that couples just can't work through together, such as - do we have a baby, how do we parent well as a team, what is ok sexually for us, how do we get past old hurts or betrayals?
- Communication issues, where couples are in conflict, having distressing auguments or prolonged times of silence.....or both!
- Moving past childhood trauma to build the relationship that you both desire, but struggle to get to.
Working on your couple relationship can be hard, really hard at times, but it is so, so worth it! I have found that it can take 7 - 50 sessions for couples to explore what is going on for them, and to establish the relationship they desire. Generally, the more complex and longer the relationship issues have been going on, the longer it can take to make lasting changes.
Couples counselling sessions go for 75 minutes, and cost $180.
