Relationship Counselling

Encouraging discussion, supporting change

What is Relationship Counselling?

Relationship counselling is a confidential process in which individuals or couples are helped to explore their intimate couple relationships, with a view to understanding each other better or parting in a more amicable way. It can help individuals to explore recurring patterns in their relationships, and couples to understand the impact of their relationship difficulties on their children. It is also a safe place to begin looking at any sexual problems that may exist. Relationship counsellors are all trained in couple dynamics, and pay particular attention to balancing the perspectives of both partners.

Relationship counselling is not necessarily about couples staying together and can often be about finding the courage to part. People who have experienced relationship counselling invariably say that they have gained valuable insights into the way that they relate to their partners.

Who is it for?

Relationship counselling is for individuals as well as couples - married, living together or apart, in opposite or same sex relationships. All that is required is a readiness to explore the difficulties they are experiencing in their adult couple relationships.
