COUPLE COUNSELLING

Liz has specialized in working with couples, equipping them with tools to work through the issues that are causing disappointment, frustration, distress, withdrawal or ongoing conflict. These issues may involve loss of intimacy, communication breakdowns, feelings of betrayal, sex, money, partner roles, religion, conflicting values, separation or involving lawyers in finding resolutions. Sustaining a close and intimate relationship for an extended period of time is very challenging. We are often stretched to the limit if our relationships develop negative patterns of interaction and this is where couple counselling plays a vital role. By helping to identify the negative cycle of interactions, a couple can then be shown how to empathize with each other and understand each other's needs and how these can be expressed more assertively. Counselling helps to highlight helpful tools which can be used to meet relational needs enabling a richer understanding of each other to grow in the hope that you will begin to really enjoy the differences between you and appreciate the uniqueness of each other.
