Family Counselling

​

Family counselling can help family members to understand each other and work through difficult situations together. Families often seek counselling for:​

• parenting issues

• conflict between family members

• poor communication and disrespectful behaviour

• adjustment to separation, divorce and blended families

• shared experience of abuse or trauma

• other family stressors

​

Couples/Relationship Counselling

​

​My approach to counselling couples is informed by the Gottman method, an approach supported by scientific evidence.  I also use mindfulness techniques to enhance your relationship-awareness and emotional connection.

​

• work through relationship difficulties together in a positive and supportive environment

• identify unhelpful patterns of interaction

• develop healthy communication skills

• learn to express your feelings and needs effectively

• learn to respond appropriately to your partner's feelings and needs

• work through conflict in a healthy manner

• learn emotional regulation skills to reduce toxic fighting and disrespectful behaviour

• enhance emotional connection and intimacy
