Entering into counselling with your partner can seem daunting as often it requires vulnerability and honesty about sensitive topics. You may be avoiding having conversations, or you just don't want to risk conflict at home. Sessions provide a neutral safe space with an impartial professional to help facilitate overcoming challenges, foster mutual understanding and encourage collaborative problem solving.
Would you say you truly listen and understand your partner? I work supportively to help improve communication, to demonstrate how to de-escalate conflicts and arguing, and to bring you back together as a couple in a healthy, less fractured way.
Sometimes, one person may be reluctant to attend counselling while the other is willing. It doesn't always require both parties to participate together. Positive changes made by one individual can still have a beneficial impact on the other person and the relationship as a whole. So if this is you, don't think you'll be wasting your time coming along, book in for a few sessions and find out for yourself.
