Relationship Counselling

Relationships can be difficult for many reasons. When times are tough, we need our relationship to be there as a support, but it can buckle under the strain. Sometimes, the relationship is the cause of the stress. We can find ourselves stuck in patterns we can't understand or escape. Sometimes, things happen which severely test the relationship.
Being an expat and being exposed to a new culture (or many different cultures at the same time) can put a lot of practical and emotional weight on relationships.
All these difficulties can cause communication problems, repetitive arguments, festering resentments and the loss of trust in each other, which can lead us to feel stuck, sadness and anger.
Relationship counselling can help us to recognise repeating patterns of distress, understand reasons behind conflicts and learn to manage troublesome differences. It can increase mutual respect and understanding, both of which can help foster a more solid foundation for the future.
If you choose relationship counselling, you and your partner wil come together for the sessions. If this is not possible for whatever reason, individual counselling can be an option.
