Profile
Is your relationship failing? Or are you wishing to explore individual issues? A safe place for exploration, with realistic support 12 years' experience and a wide portfolio of skills, may help you on your journey. All work is tailored to your needs.
Are you contemplating divorce or separation or just feeling that things might be better? Relationship problems can often be resolved and long-established patterns can be addressed with appropriate support and relevant skills. Affairs, Betrayals, Conflict, Stress, Sex and Communication Problems all affect our intimate relationships. A relationship crisis need not mean the end of being together. It can, with appropriate help, open up new ways of understanding and a more realistic way of being together. Deal safely with anger and loss and learn better ways to be together. Anger and Bullying can often be tackled; with partners, friends, relatives and colleagues. Understanding destructive patterns can permit healthier ones to emerge.
Would you prefer to explore a personal issue alone? Whether you are struggling with low self-esteem, loss or other problems you can feel safe to explore sensitive issues with a supportive therapist in a confidential setting.
Considering Separation or Divorce? Separation Work can offer closure and resolution where there is no way forward, to offer the best chance to move on to a more positive life. Divorce may or may not be the best option - why not explore with professional help to feel confident you are making the best choice? Is the underlying issue one which will emerge in another relationship? When you leave your partner will you leave the pain behind? Thinking, exploring and understanding can be worthwhile. Assessments for Domestic Violence, Reconciliations, Private Referrals and Treatment Plans. Reports for Solicitors and Insurance Companies.
