In my work with couples I expect to work with a broad range of relationship issues. I can work either over short-term or longer terms. the work tends to be weekly but occasionally can be fortnightly. I would normally only see both members of the couple together, although there can be exceptions.
The issues i work with often include:
- anger
- parents splitting up
- sexual difficulties
- jealousy
- fear of closeness
- enhancing mutual understanding
- taking appropriate responsibility for one’s actions
- communication difficulties
- the aftermath of an affair
- problems with commitment
- exploring thoughts and feelings that feel silenced
- balancing assertiveness and aggression
- refinding mutual curiosity
- countering repetitive patterns
