COUPLES
Are you constantly arguing, exhausting yourselves, going round in circles and wondering if you will ever be happy again?Couples counselling provides a neutral space, in a confidential setting, in which we can explore the whole relationship, with the ultimate aim of good choices made about whether to stay together or split up.
Some goals which couples have brought in the past include:
- Clarifying each individual's needs;
- Learning ways of effectively communicating these needs;
- Having a place to air resentments, hurts, pain and joy about being together; with the therapist acting as "coach" and "referee".
- Establishing enough goodwill to air your differences in a way that you can resolve an issue related to children, time, in-laws, money, sex, ex-spouses, fidelity and jealousy for example.
The first meeting is free. It is 40-45 minutes long and is to explore what you want and whether we can work together. Subsequent sessions cost £62 for a 50 minute session or £90 for 75 minutes, if we feel we need a longer session.
