Couples Counselling
Why Relationship Counselling?
Stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on our relationships, whether that be with our spouse, life partner, child, parent, sibling or work colleague. Problems can stem from financial worries, differing parenting styles, sexual difficulties, infidelity, anger issues, bereavement, unresolved trust issues, communication following a relationship breakdown ... or sometimes it can feel that you have simply grown apart.
Often differing expectations about what it means to be in a relationship can increase friction over time. This can contribute to a decrease in levels of communication. It can feel as if ways of relating to one another have become stuck and there doesn't appear to be any way forward.
Sometimes issues with our children, particularly as they reach adolecence, can be worrying and you may feel you need support in understanding your changing relationship with them.
What can you expect?
The relationship counselling offered by Nottinghamshire Counselling aims to enable clients to re-open these lines of communication by facilitating increased understanding of each individual's experience, without the need to label one person as "right" and the other as "wrong". Qualified counsellors provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where both parties are offered equal support to explore thoughts and feelings which may have previously seemed too painful or damaging. There is no agenda or desire for one particular outcome or resolution. The right to decide what happens in your relationship remains with you and will be respected at all times.
When is a good time to consider Relationship Counselling?
You don't need to be at crisis point before you decide to enhance the communication and understanding in your relationship. If you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship and would like to find a way to move forward, please contact Natalie or Kate for further information or to make an initial appointment.
