Couple Counselling, Relationship Counselling
Marriage Counselling ,

Your Expectations...

It is very difficult to be in a relationshis and not have expectations, ideas and beliefs about how you and your partner "should" be.

It would be impossible for anyone to not have these ideas: "My partner will be tidy. My partner will know when I am angry. He/She will always love me. We are destined to be together for ever."

Not true! Unfortunately there are many of us who do think these things and those ideas will most certainly get in the way of having a great relationship.

Marriage and couple and relationship counselling...

...can help individuals and couples find ways to resolve issues that can make life quite difficult for people who are trying hard to maintain a job, family connections and an intime partnership.

The counselling and psychotherapy I offer you is a collaborative experience. You will be guided through a series of process that help identify what is going wrong and will be shown alternative ways to do things. This process is begun in the counselling room and is required to be continued by you as you go through your day or week.

At no stage can I guarantee you success. However, many couples who are dedicated to living in a happy and successful relationship do so. You will have to take up the challange and I will be there to walk beside you.

Couples and individuals who do take up these challanges are nearly always rewarded with:

• a higher self-esteem,
• a clearer and more practical view of living in a relationship,
• skills that allow you to HEAR and SPEAK with each other and really know what you and your partner are saying,
• a greater understanding of their own and their partner's view (world view),
• smoother and less volatile disagreements,
• hope and expectations that are rational and "doable",
• wider and healthier atmosphere in which to enjoy their connection,
• intimacy and sexual freedom and fulfilment that brings you closer together,
• increased ability to just sit and talk (turn off the TV please).
