Relationship Therapy
If your relationship is experiencing some challenges, it might be useful to attend couple’s counselling/relationship therapy. As a qualified Relationship and Sex Therapist, Amanda offers a professional space for individuals and couples to seek support. Amanda is known to be highly effective in her approach and how she supports clients to improve their relationships, self and sexual identities and resolve any conflict or challenges in a way which will bring clients closer to their loved ones, and themselves, not push them apart.
Attending couples counselling allows you to learn more about your partner, yourself and what you are capable of as a team, which can be a very empowering experience.
In couples counselling, you will learn tips, tools and strategies on how to communicate effectively and resolve any issues in the relationship, whether they be big or small. Couples counselling can also help both you and your partner to discuss any uncertainty in your relationship, mend wounds and overall work towards a life that both of you feel is rewarding and a future they can’t wait to explore together.
Who is couples counselling for?
It’s important to remember that most couples will experience conflict and difficulties at some point in their relationship. Whether you’ve been together for 6 months or 16 years, it is normal to experience conflict and disconnect from time to time. However, continual and unresolved conflict and fighting can undo all the bonding and communication tools you have developed together, and you may be experiencing much more stress in your relationship than you need to.
Common issues couples find themselves arguing over include:
Money problems
Lack of quality time spent together
Parenting
Sex life
Unrealistic or mismatched expectations of the relationship
Differences in values, interests or the future.
Working together with an experienced therapist such as Amanda can help most couples work through their issues in a safe and professional environment.
Couples counselling isn’t only for couples who are experiencing conflict. It is also effective for partners who’ve found themselves drifting apart from each other. Relationships take a lot of hard work and over time, couples may find themselves feeling disconnected from each other. This can often lead to a sense of feeling “out of love” with your partner, which can be a confusing and isolating experience. Couples counselling is an effective way to help you reconnect with your partner and renew your relationship.
