Relationship counselling for couples

  • Marriage counselling
  • Couple counselling – whatever your sexual orientation
  • Positive non-judgemental, change oriented approach
  • Quick, flexible appointments

People often ask me how a couple can tell if they would/will benefit from relationship counselling; how they can recognise that their relationship problems can no longer be dealt with by themselves. Often it’s when arguments are circular and quickly escalate; there are big issues over money, sex, infidelity, in-laws or children which remain unresolved despite many attempts to get your partner to understand your viewpoint.
In my experience people find it hard to start couple counselling. One of the biggest fears is that exposing the real issues will upset or hurt your partner and make a bad situation even worse potentially ending the relationship altogether. However, problems left unresolved can become worse and real disconnection occurs.
At Couples Matter, couple counselling is focussed on a unique transformative approach in a safe, supportive non blame environment. After an initial consultation, couples will focus on changing the behavioural patterns that have caused problems within their relationship. Each person will implement a clear step by step action plan using powerful tools. Progress made towards agreed goals can therefore be measured at each session.

Relationship counselling for individuals

  • Effective strategies for helping change relationships working with just one person
  • Helping clients who lack confidence, find difficulties forming or maintaining relationships
  • Positive non-judgemental, change orientated approach
  • Quick flexible appointments

Many clients ask if it is possible to change their relationship, if their partner won’t come for help. Your relationship is a dynamic system, which both of you can influence, so when one of you changes how they are, it will automatically lead to an altered relationship. Additionally, when one person seeks helps, the other will often become curious and want to get involved too.

Relationship counselling after an affair

  • A first aid kit for couples and individuals
  • Providing a framework to Healing the hurt and rebuilding trust in order to recover intimacy and goodwill
  • Positive non-judgemental, change orientated approach
  • Quick, flexible appointments

Affairs and betrayals can severely strain and threaten any relationship. They can ultimately also end the relationship with all the pain and family consequences that brings. The reasons for an affair are always unique however they have the potential to break the bond of trust and often trigger a complex web of emotions for the individual who has been betrayed.
Although many people choose to end their relationship following the discovery of an affair or a betrayal, a great number will want to work things through. A betrayal may deeply shake the foundations of a relationship, but it can paradoxically make it stronger and lead to real growth for both, especially if there is an attempt to rebuild trust and communication.

How counselling can help

We can help you to heal, grieve what has been lost and discover whether a new relationship between you is possible.
