Couples

Couple counselling provides opportunities for couples to strengthen and improve their relationship, particularly when they are struggling or under stress.

I work with couples to assist them in  gaining insight into unhelpful patterns of relating and to find new ways of more meaningful and satisfying connection and intimacy. 

I also support couples to make sense of hurt that may have taken place in a relationship and to re-build confidence and trust in one another.

For those couples who need to separate I also provide support to minimise negative impacts and create better outcomes for couples and their children and extended families.

I have experience working with couples around issues such as:

  • lack of emotional and physical intimacy
  • communication difficulties including conflict
  • infidelity and breaches of trust
  • pornography addiction
  • emotional reactions including anger and jealousy
  • parenting issues and the stresses involved in raising children and teenagers
  • separation and divorce
  • mental health issues and their impact
