*Are you wanting to meet someone special? *Worried it will never happen? *Do your relationships follow similar patterns? *Have you been on your own for some time? *Have past relationships left you hurt and confused? *Do you want to avoid making the same mistakes? *Would you like to have more of an understanding of what went wrong? *Or are in a relationship but unhappy? Should you stay or go? Relationship counselling gives you the opportunity to understand what has gone wrong in the past and helps you prepare for the future in a positive way.
Maybe you know what went wrong, or this is going to be your first relationship for some time?
We can look at your hopes and fears, work on increasing your confidence, or write an advert for a dating column!
The counselling is led by your needs and we work together to help you towards your goals. An informal assessment session would help you decide in what ways counselling might help.
I can work with you on issues of loss, rejection, anger, sex, self-esteem, anxiety, sexuality, assertiveness, domestic abuse, body image etc. How many sessions will you need? You may just want a couple of sessions to help you through some particular concerns or you may need more. It’s up to you! We can discuss this further in an assessment session.
How do I work?
I use a Cognitive-Behavioural approach with my Systemic learning when working with relationship issues. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) actively challenges thoughts and behaviour patterns and works towards positive changes with a focused and problem-solving approach, providing strategies for coping with life beyond therapy. (See the page on CBT.)
