People come together as a couple and stay together because on both sides their needs are being met. Sometimes, relationships go through difficult times and partners/spouses find their needs are not being met very well. How you deal with those very difficult and painful times makes the difference between staying together and splitting up.
I believe that counselling with me can be very helpful in resolving those issues.
If you're experiencing any of the following, now is the time to consider counselling, and see if your partner might agree to come with you:
Arguments become like an irresistable force meeting an immovable object, never getting to anywhere except a shouting match and even violence. Some subjects become completely taboo.
There's no fun or frivolity left in the relationship - ever, you struggle to remember what you saw in each other to begin with.
Sex becomes mostly a distant memory, there's little intimacy or hugs let alone passion.
You feel you are drifting apart or becoming more like brother and sister. There's nothing left to say.
The way I work is to help each of you explore your story - how you met, what's happened over the course of the relationship, when and why it started to feel bad, your hopes and dreams, the nature of the problems now and what impact they're having on you, and what you each want from the future. I try to help you find a new path with the strengths and resources to resolve your difficulties.
It is really helpful to spend time with a neutral professional who has the training and experience to look at the problem in a different way while respecting and encouraging your opinions and decisions. Each partner can hear the other's point of view and understand how the problems seem for them.
