Relationship Counselling & Couples Counselling

Relationships Can Be Incredibly Rewarding But They Can Also Require Some Hard Work, With Difficulties In Relationships Being A Common Issue For Many People.

Relationship Counselling

What is Relationship Counselling?


Relationships go through different phases over the course of their existence, with some of these phases bringing more challenges than others. At times relationships can feel fractured and conflicted, with arguments and distance replacing previous feelings of intimacy and support.

Some relationships will weather this storm and return to positive experiences; some will get stuck in this difficult space with the relationship remaining intact but feeling damaged; others will result in the breakdown and dissolution of the relationship.

Common experiences of relationship difficulties can include:


  • Feelings of drifting apart

  • Frequent arguments

  • Loss of intimacy

  • Loss of fulfilling sex life

  • Sense of no longer being involved in a supportive and loving partnership

The causes of relationship difficulties can be wide ranging, with factors that include stress regarding either (or both) partners’ families, work stress, disagreements regarding parenting, one or both partners not feeling valued or appreciated, infidelity, addiction, and mental health difficulties being among the most commonly seen.

The goal of relationship counselling is not to provide a referee or judge in arguments, nor is it to completely focus on doing everything possible to keep relationships together regardless of how much emotional upset that may occur as a result of this. Instead, we focus on assisting each person in the partnership to recognise and work with their own communication style and emotional experience, so that when difficult situations occur within the relationship each person will be equipped to navigate these more effectively.

Online Couples Counselling


As per best practice guidelines we work with many couples successfully via online/video sessions. These online session may help if you and your partner have busy schedules or are residing in different counties – allowing for easier appointment coordination.

Online relationship counselling also allowes for you and your partner to choose a location that is most comfortable for you to express your thoughts and feelings. In some cases you may find yourself and your partner are more open to communicate from the comfort of your own home without the stresses that face-to-face sessions can bring for some clients.

Online couple counselling may not be appropriate for every couple so please contact our today to see how we can help you.
