Relationships are a very meaningful part of our lives and can bring us a great deal of happiness and fulfilment. Strong connections with our loved ones, friends and work colleagues allow us to be at our healthiest and most productive, and for many, these relationships offer an important source of advice, guidance, love and support.
However, fulfilling and supportive relationships don’t come automatically. They require good social skills and a great deal of work, time and energy to stay strong and go the distance. Sometimes our most meaningful connections break down, for whatever reason, leaving us feeling lonely, disappointed and unsure of ourselves.
In some cases, our relationships may not be meeting our expectations, which can, in turn, impact our happiness and life satisfaction. Relationships can be very one-sided and if the two people are not seen as equals, problems can occur. For others, they may crave companionship yet find them very difficult to come by.
Whatever the relationship issue, there is help available. Relationship counselling is one option – whether as a couple or an individual – you can talk about your concerns and your needs, and explore what you want from your relationships.
When there has been a substantial breakdown in trust, respect or communication, or a combination of all these factors, I can help improve the way you relate to those around you and allow you to break free of old patterns of behaviour. I can provide a supportive and non-judgemental space to help you identify issues or problems in a relationship and find a way through those difficulties.
