Couples Therapy / Marriage Guidance
'Relationships can be challenging, seeking help can be scary and demonstrates commitment - but change is possible!’
Relationship Issues
Couples counselling can benefit couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship, such as sex, finances, children, extended family and affairs.
Couples counselling can tackle relationship issues that are difficult to talk about, in a safe and neutral environment.
Couples counselling can be difficult
Often couples counselling can be more difficult than individual counselling, because each party may want the counsellor to be on their side. However, the nature of couples counselling, requires the counsellor to be wholly impartial. As a couples counsellor, it is my responsibility to ensure that both parties get equal understanding, attention and time.
Seeking a Marriage guidance counsellor, could be viewed, as investing in your relationship. Agreeing to participate in relationship counselling, gives both parties evidence of caring and commitment.
Communication
The purpose of couples therapy is to improve your relationship by exploring relationship dynamics that have caused conflict or distance and by finding effective ways to talk about what’s really going on emotionally while improving mutual empathy for each other.
Deciding on couples counselling is hard. Your relationship is important, and you want someone who will take care of you while helping you to resolve problems that sometimes seem impossible. You need someone who specializes in working with couples, understands what you’re going through and can help you to find your way through the pain.
I work hard to make sure that together, we explore the patterns and dynamics that are getting in the way of closeness and safety in your relationship. I see relationship problems as being something that both of you play a role in creating and sustaining. I don’t judge either of you – I know that you are doing your best and just want to get your needs met. I help you find what’s in the way of that and help you to talk to each other so that you create understanding, compassion and closeness.
Our Work Together
I integrate Emotional Focused Therapy in couples counselling, this model is built on person centred and attachment theory. This allows couples to unveil needs and emotions that have been unmet. This enables couples communicate their needs and wants effectively in order to get them met.
Sometimes, painful memories or situations are denied, ignored or buried. Uncovering implicit areas and examining them together alleviates the power they hold and this provides a ‘model’ for deeper and real communication and honesty.
