​"A relationship is three parts love and seven parts forgiveness of sins"
-Lao Tzu

I will help you improve your relationship either face to face or by online relationship counselling. If you are experiencing stress in your marriage, love life, or family please don't hesitate to contact me.

Picture

​Most couples who come to me about relationship issues say they love each other,  yet argue more than they think is healthy. These arguments often turn nasty, even abusive.
Arguing over the same thing, again and again, inexorably leading to contempt, to breakdown, separ
ation or divorce.

I find what brings couples to the brink, looking for outside help to save their relationship, can vary enormously.

​It can be betrayal or an affair.  One partner may feel abused, emotionally or even physically. They might both be experiencing sexual problems.  Or they are just one of the growing number of couples that sense things 'should be better' or 'there must be more to life than this!'


I help you find a path to break the cycle!

All these issues are bound together by emotions and, in heightened emotion, communication is the first thing to break down. People then become stuck in a repeating cycle... of hopelessness, anger or fear, seemingly without end. Couples counselling isn't always about  resolving conflict. Shared traumas like an abortion or a miscarriage can be the cause relationship breakdown. Despair , grief, anger, lack of empathy and understanding can lead to feelings of hopelessness.

I help you  to restore trust in each in other and  how you relate to each other,  to experiment,  finding safe and healthy means to speak to each other. Offering you different choices which 
ultimately lead you to meaningful resolution.

​Seeing me together may seem even more daunting than coming alone.  You may have  any number of concerns about the process. You may feel embarrassed  and that it's an admission of failure. You might be frightened it will make things worse, not better. You may not like the idea of being challenged on aspects of your behaviour,  things  you could downplay or avoid one-to-one..  

By facing your fears and doing it anyway, together you become open to a process that can give you much greater reward.
