About Couples CounsellingCouples counselling

Trust, intimacy and openness are at the heart of our closest relationships. When they become troubled we can be deeply affected, and our health and happiness can suffer. Our sense of self-worth and identity often rests on the strength of our relationships, so we can despair when they fail.

I have many years experience as a psychotherapist and couples counsellor. I work with couples to improve communication, develop trust and intimacy, and deepen their understanding of themselves and each other. Many of the problems experienced in forming and sustaining relationships are the product of unconscious expectations inherited from our families and environments. Couples counselling can provide a space to reflect on relationship expectations, heal past hurts, and find new and more fulfilling ways of relating.

I also offer counselling to people planning to marry or enter a civil partnership, to consider the decisions they are making and tackle any difficulties they may be encountering. I support people who are considering divorce, separation or dissolution of their civil partnership to explore their options, address their hurt and resentment, and begin to rebuild their lives.

Couples counselling can enable you to overcome the challenges you are facing right now, and develop the skills and understanding to manage challenges that may come along in the future.

Conflict is inevitable in relationships with people we love. How we view the conflict makes a big difference in our ability to work through relationship problems. I take a positive view of relationships, including the difficult parts. When you're in the middle of relationship conflict, it's hard to see the difficulties as anything other than negative and heart breaking, but don't throw in the towel! When you think it might be over, it may have just begun.

It may be that your relationship is pushing you to meet the challenge of a new and deeper way of relating. Relationship problems can be opportunities to break out of familiar but unsatisfying patterns and can lead to growth individually and as a couple. I can help you work through a range of relationship issues. Counselling in edinburgh

Helping You Move Forward

I will work with you to create a space in which:

You both begin to explore the issues that really matter to you.

You grow to understand the negative cycles of interraction that cause problems between you.

You learn communication skills that help you communicate what matters to you and helps your partner really hear you, perhaps for the first time.

You begin to see the bigger picture of what is going on in your relationship.

You begin to understand the differences between you in a new and potentially very positive way.

You begin to understand how working with your differences in a new way can very quickly bring back intimacy and a feeling of being connected with each other on a deep level.
