Couple relationships often come under stress. This can be for any number of reasons. The common problems are pressures of work, or a new baby; financial difficulties; an affair; difficult in-laws…the list goes on. When you find yourself living with conflict, your relationship which should be a source of comfort and support, can in fact become the source of a great deal of unhappiness. Sometimes it's difficult to see a way forward.
I work with couples and individuals to explore what is going wrong. If a couple come along because constant arguments are forcing a distance between the couple, I will help them to find better ways of communicating, and show the couple how to rebuild closeness and find effective ways of dealing with life's challenges.
Of course, relationship problems aren't exclusive to couples. Families can be hard work! There may be tensions due to step family issues or you may be trying to cope with elderly or challenging parents or in-laws ~ or both! There are no rule books for being a parent - sibling differences and difficult teenagers can make every day feel like a battle. If you need an objective third party to talk through these or similar issues, I can help.
