COUPLE COUNSELLING
Although it is common wisdom that sex, money and kids are the three biggest issues for couples, the single biggest concern couples bring to me is COMMUNICATION!
We long to feel close and to be understood by those we love and with whom we share our lives. In couple counseling, I work with partners to help them:
v Connect better by knowing and naming their own needs and learning to understand and respond to their partner’s needs
v Learn skills for speaking and listening – and not just to the words being said! - so they can work through issues
v Manage differences that often result in conflict, and manage conflict when it arises, so that it does not become destructive
v Identify and overcome emotional barriers that keep them distant from each other
v Become more comfortable with their own and their partner’s sexuality and intimacy needs |
