Therapy For Relationships

All relationships need time and effort. To have a healthy and fulfilling relationship requires time, attention, nurturing and effort.

At times life can make this difficult and challenging. External stress can put pressure on a relationship – financial pressures, children, family bereavement, redundancy, health issues – the list goes on. In addition to this the individuals in the relationship might be fighting their own individual battles such as depression or addiction. In turn this can then have a huge impact on a relationship.

Relationships can often be extremely difficult and challenging.  Here at your counselling service, we recognise just how hard those challenges can be. Not only do we offer individual therapy for people struggling in their current relationship. But we also offer couple’s therapy for couples that really want to make changes and improve things.

How we can help with your relationships

Our experienced and diverse team offer individuals the chance to explore the way they feel about their current relationship. We give them the opportunity to explore if the relationship is making them happy and meeting their own needs. We give them the chance to identify their part in things but also to see if there is anything unhealthy, toxic, or even abusive that they need to break away from. We help individuals to explore old and current relationship patterns and to make the necessary changes to feel fulfilled relationally.

In addition to this our experienced couples’ therapists offer a space for couples to come and work on areas such as communication, respect, intimacy or understanding. In addition to this sometimes one partner has been unfaithful, and people want to be able to work through that with a neutral person. 

Our therapists can really help couples to start hearing one another again, to listen and support each other and to improve their way of relating.  We provide the opportunity to reestablish things like trust, respect, intimacy and understanding. We enable our couples to find their way back together in a loving and caring way. We re establish compassion and care through processing, understanding, and providing a set of tools for the relationship going forward.  

Finally, we also offer meditation for any couples that have decided they don’t want to be together anymore. Sometimes people are looking for an objective person to help navigate and oversee the breakup in a calm and respectful way. We are happy to offer this support and service when needed.

Our approach to helping those in relationships

Making the decision to start therapy is both daunting and frightening. People often feel nervous and don’t know what to expect. To give you an idea, we would book an assessment as an initial chance for us to meet and talk. This would last an hour, and it is an opportunity to ask questions and to get to know you more. You can also ask about anything that you are unsure about. If you feel comfortable and are happy to go ahead, then we would book you in for weekly therapy. Each week would be different depending on where you are at, and what you are coming for. We can discuss all of your needs in the assessment and put a treatment plan in place. We have a great team and we are here to help.
