Relationships

-Love can exist in many shapes and forms but most people seek the expression of love within the confines of a healthy romantic relationship with a significant other. For many people this type of romantic love can be an extremely fulfilling and meaningful element of life.

-A healthy and supportive relationship can have tons of benefits on your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing because it involves your self image, boosts your happiness levels, helps you age more gracefully, reduces stress and improves your mental health.

-Where-as, an unhealthy relationship can have long-term damaging effects on your sense of self worth, and can affect your capability to take advantage of your unique and powerful potential as a person.

-Unfortunately, no-one is born an expert in relationships. Successfully navigating the difficulties that can arise inside of a romantic relationship does not come naturally. While most of us want to be closely connected with a romantic partner, relationships take work. Listening, communicating, and understanding are all key ingredients of a good relationship.

-Relationship Counselling can help you to:

• Improve your communication skills

  • Improve your conflict management skills

  • Anger and temper problems

  • Find an effective way to cope with stress

  • Reduce negative mindsets which affect your relationship

  • Restore emotional and sexual intimacy

  • Reduce criticism and blaming behaviours

  • Understand and nurture your relationship’s strengths

-Counselling can help couples to utilise and implement what is already working and work to creating your desired future, by create and awareness of solutions and a better understanding of each other to create positive changes.

- Most of us know to go and see a doctor or a health professional for an ache or cough that just won’t go away, but what about if it’s not your body but your relationship that’s sick? The problem can be identifying the problem to start with, and then knowing where to go to seek help. For some couples, professional counselling can be a solution worth considering.

- One of the big problems is that we have trouble seeing our own relationships objectively. We are often so blinded by how our partner is contributing to the problem that we can’t see our own faults. Often it can be helpful to get a third party’s objective perspective.

-A therapist can impartially listen to each party, objectively evaluate the situation, and give you the tools that you need to successfully navigate a difficult relationship. Each of our psychologists are experts in their area of practice and are equipped to help you make the long-term changes that you need.
