Relating within the couple dyad is what we yearn for. To be understood and connected with the other. Relationships have stages ebbs and flows. We believe we have great capacity to relate certainly in the initial stages of the relationship. As the relationship evolves and develops, there are various life events that can effect and challenge our  ability to relate – an affair, stress, parenting, sickness, sexuality issues, low mood, anxiety. At these times we may wish to climb into our own world or be angry in our particular way. Another option is to get support and seek to understand the issues. Often this is related to a further cycle of personal and relationship growth.

Couple counselling is offered to heterosexual and same sex partners.
