COUPLES COUNSELLING/THERAPY
I see clients for a range of relationship issues. Some of these are:
- Exploring obstacles to intimacy.
- Stuck patterns of relating.
- Negotiating important decisions such as commitment/marriage.
- Parenting stress.
- Mediating conflict.
- Communication breakdowns.
- Strong emotions: anger/sadness/fear/shame/jealously.
- Issues of sexuality.
- Managing the process of separation and divorce.
- Power issues.
- Managing crisis.
- Affairs.
- Ongoing support.
I approach couples work primarily using the following therapeutic approaches:
- Emotion Focused Couple Therapy. (EFTc).
- Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy.
- Systemic approaches.
Clients often find it helpful to undertake individual counselling/therapy at the same time as they undertake couples work.
