Intimate human relationships are the most powerful medium for personal transformation, healing and growth. However, it’s often during times of disillusionment, struggle and conflict between partners – that we experience feelings that demand a deeper level of attention and understanding.

These “cracks” in a previously smoother relationship can be very frightening and confusing, and yet they are natural processes of worthwhile relationships, even though culturally in western society they are often misunderstood, over-looked or under-valued.

We offer a safe and confidential “holding” in which you can gently explore your different responses to difficulty, unravel patterns of conflict and deepen your understanding of the source of reactive emotions.

Couple’s counselling has a mild educational element, as we guide couple’s through models of understanding natural processes in relationship. Understanding these processes offers us a chance to open up our understanding of each other as individuals – and the unmet needs that we bring into relationships from our pasts. This process deepens when you feel safe to explore and reveal the less tolerable feelings that are activated within your relationship.

With increased understanding of each other’s individuality and influences, it’s possible to facilitate a positive change in the relational system, with healing and growth for both partners.

Suffice to say, we work with you as impartial facilitators to your own process and have no vested interest in influencing a particular outcome. In fact, it is exactly that quality of facilitation that allows couple’s to feel equally supported enough to do this valuable work.
