Relationships

Who is relationship counselling for?

During a lasting relationship people face many important decisions and turning points. Sometimes couples can’t talk to each other about these problems. Meeting with a counsellor can be a way to open up communications again through better understanding of the underlying issues. Whether you come with your partner or alone, whether you are gay or heterosexual or whether you are married or single, we aim to offer a safe and confidential setting in which to explore your difficulties. We also work with people who are ending a marriage or a long term relationship. Counselling can help people going through this painful process to overcome emotional difficulties and develop the confidence to rebuild their lives.

Who will I see?

You will see a relationship counsellor. Our team of professional counsellors are trained to work with people either together or on their own who are troubled about a relationship problem. Our counsellors help people think about their relationships and resolve some of the conflicts and tensions. We recognise that everyone is unique and our counsellors respond in an individual way to each relationship.

Some of the things we aim to help people achieve through relationship counselling include:-

• Better communication
• A more stable family life
• Self-discovery

• Greater awareness of your partner’s needs
