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
