Couples: I aim to help you to:
- Get your relationship back on track by giving a safe place where you can talk together
- Have a deeper understanding of the trigger points in your relationship so that alternative ways of settling differences can be reached
- Learn how to communicate effectively with your partner so that it is supportive and inquisitive rather than hostile
- Understand how the differences between you and your partner are an opportunity for you to develop new aspects of yourself
- Understand why an affair happened
- Understand why you chose your partner in the first place
- Learn new ways of nurturing your relationship and identify its strengths
- Or, support you to separate with grace and integrity if that is your chosen path
For Couples, the emphasis is on your relationship although by looking at how your relationship is with your partner, you will begin to understand how your relationship is affected by both your pasts. By its very nature, couples work is more directive than individual work and tends to be shorter term.
Thought of the Month
"Love yourself first because that’s who you’ll be spending the rest of your life with."
Anon.
This holds true whether you’re single or in a relationship; Your most important relationship should be the one you have with yourself. We are each responsible for our own happiness but often, we think that we need someone else’s love to make us happy. Yet, if we all take a little time to enjoy doing things that make us feel good rather than doing things that we feel we ought to do, then our self-esteem improves and this happiness ripples out into all of our relationships.
