Couples Counselling Most relationships will become strained at some point and will begin producing maladaptive patterns. Relationship problems are rooted in our distorted egos, insecure attachment, emotional immaturity etc., which create to the many issues that develop for couples - infidelity, financial stress, poor communication, ill health, sexual divergence, household responsibility conflicts, addictions, etc., .... or just simply growing apart. Relationships can often be restored if help is sought soon enough. A counsellor can help reorient perceptions and emotions (how we look at a situation and how we feel about it) and assist the couple in adopting conscious structural changes.

Counseling helps you address your habitual pattern of mutual hurt in your relationship. Listening is key. Responsive listening, especially reflection of feelings, is the most helpful. Try to hear about his or her history, hurts, scars. You might well think and act differently in similar circumstances, but can you listen to what makes him tick? “Getting it” completely is impossible. Trying counts for a lot. Counselling helps you both to tune in to each other.
