Are you struggling in your relationship? How can Couples Counselling help you?
Are you struggling in your relationship? How can Couples Counselling help you?
- Is your relationship under stress? Do you feel if things do not change, you will split up?
- Has your partner cheated?
- Do you feel you cannot communicate with your partner any more?
- Do you feel unloved?
- Do you feel angry, stressed, frustrated, guilty or resentful in your relationship?
- Are you not feeling heard, listened to, or acknowledged?
The 10 most common reasons people come to couples counselling are:
- Poor communication
- Infidelity
- Abuse
- Meddling in laws
- Parenting
- Jealousy
- Financial problems
- Job Stress
- Substance abuse
- Disillusionment with the relationship
All this can affect your mental and physical health. Our bodies and minds cannot sustain being in a permanent state of chaos, uncertainty, loneliness or hopelessness for a long time. It may make you feel trapped, lonely, isolated and unsure of who or where to turn to for help and support. There is no confidence in the relationship and you worry there will never be any change so you will become ‘stuck’ here. That can be a frightening prospect for many people to feel trapped somehow. There is help out there, you just need to reach out.
Couples Counselling is:
- Neutral
- Structured
- Educational
- A way to grow as a couple
- Making changes to improve the relationship
- Owning up to your own mistakes
- Forgiveness
It is not:
- About who is right or wrong
- ‘Fighting it out’
- Making yourself happy at the other’s expense
- Forcing the person to change
- Proving the other person wrong
- Blame
I have been offering couples my help and support for many years. From experience I know relationships that are struggling can become the relationship both parties want where each feels supported, encouraged and able to grow. Change is possible if there is enough love between two people. Challenges are there to be overcome together and make the couple stronger once they have been resolved.
How does it work?
- One or both parties contact me by phone or email where we discuss what your challenges are and if I am able to help you.
- Both of you commit to a 50 minute weekly session
- Both of you agree to not split up until we have reached 10 sessions (this will provide maximum time and effort to see if the relationship can be saved)
- Both attend each week and partake in a discussion around the challenges the relationship is facing and how to navigate these.
- At times, ‘homework’ may be given focusing on ways to make changes and improvements in your relationship. This can consist of communication practice, conflict resolution discussion, future of the relationship and many other topics we cover in our sessions. This ‘homework’ means the couple will also commit to spending time in the week, between session, communicating together to do this before they return for the next session.
- Our work together is very interactive and both parties need to be as honest as possible to see the best end result.
- The relationship is my client, not the individuals. I will work very hard to see the relationship succeed.
- When disagreements become disrespectful or one party does not feel heard, I will interrupt to ensure we stay on track and our discussions are respectful, honest and each party has a change to speak and bring forth their viewpoint.
- In the sessions, I provide materials which you can take home and which will help your relationship. Having knowledge will help you to address difficult topics.
If this sounds like this is what you need to revert your current relationship back to one of love and respect, please make contact with me to arrange a chat.
