​To learn about yourself and others through the richness of long term partnership is one of the most rewarding and deepening experiences that can give profound meaning and peace in life.  We are on a primal level programmed to seek this out.

 

​Relationships can be challenging to navigate; however, a harmonious relationship can enrich your life and be the foundation of true contentment and happiness.  It is a profound opportunity to grow and experience the depth of life:  love, hurt, forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, grief, loss, surrender…

 

The skills to do this healthily though is learnt, we do not get a ready built-in program. Therapy provides the forum to learn healthy communication, define what it truly means to care and love for another and oneself.  Identifying old patterns that no longer serve the individual and the relationship frees up the space to learn the true meaning of what it is to be in partnership.

​It might feel hopeless and overwhelming now, but your relationship was once a blossoming source of love and beauty. Couples counselling can help you get that beauty and love back, but only if you’re willing to work on yourself just as much as you want your partner to work on himself or herself.

What is relationship counselling?

Through the counselling process an understanding can be reached about how and why relationship challenges sometimes reach a crisis point. Skills learnt through therapy enable you to communicate more effectively and navigate the developmental growth of each person on the journey of a committed relationship.
Relationship counselling is most effective when you both make a commitment to the process.  This strategy enables the therapist to give both individuals options for changing behaviour, feelings and thoughts.

Incredible changes with individual efforts: 

It is a common problem that at least one member of the relationship is hesitant about participating in the process, however, our psychologists are well-prepared for this situation. Although joint counselling is the ideal, you can still change the dynamic of a relationship by what you contribute to the recipe.  As a relationship is a dance between two people, you only need one person to change their steps to change the dynamic and create a brand new dance, mastering skills in:

  • Communicating your wants, needs, and frustrations more effectively.
  • Truly understanding your partner’s feelings.
  • Drawing the meaning and wisdom from uncomfortable/unpleasant emotions we often avoid, which are what feeds negative patterns in relationships.
  • Processing resentment and the need to criticise or be right justifying behaving cruelly toward your partner.
