Couples & Relationships
Relationships can be the cause of much stress, as well as love, working together can help feelings of frustration, stress and being 'stuck'.
It maybe difficult getting a partner to come along to therapy, so if your partner or ex-partner doesn't wish to come along to counselling it is important to respect them in that choice.
However, this doesn't mean that coming to counselling on your own can't help you and your relationship. It maybe that in the future your partner would like to attend counselling with you.
At the heart of all relationships there is a ever shifting power basis, and it is important to be aware of this. Power in relationships can sometimes feel threatening, abusive and upsetting.
Couples counselling could be used to try to help your relationship improve, it could also be used to help with ending the relationship. There may be other ways you would like counselling to be of support and help, and this can be discussed in sessions.
So maybe counselling could help you, your partner, and your relationship.
