Relationship Counselling

Plus reasons to choose relationship counselling online

We start learning how to be in relationships from the very first ones we have; those with our primary caregivers. Here, we develop our expectations, assumptions and beliefs associated with trust, love, and safety. The patterns, roles, and behaviours we develop in childhood and adolescence often follow us into adulthood, shaping how we connect with others, including in romantic relationships, friendships, and even the way we relate to ourselves.

Relationship counselling helps us explore how these early experiences may impact our connections today. In couples sessions, we look beneath the ways you’re communicating with each other. We work collaboratively not to eliminate conflict altogether, rather to support you to be able to engage in conflict in a way that is respectful, empathic and helps you both move towards reconnection and repair.

Relationship counselling isn’t just about understanding the other person, it’s also about understanding yourself. Sometimes, we get stuck in a place where it feels like we’re opposing forces, and the tension feels external, like the other person is causing all the problems. We tell ourselves, “If they just did this differently, everything would be fine.” Our intention in relationship counselling is to turn that focus inward, unlocking change from the inside out. We ask questions like, “what does this feel familiar to? When else have you felt this way?” or “What need is going unspoken?” and “What stories are you telling yourself about your relationships?”

Whether you’re coming in solo or attending relationship counselling online as a couple, our goal is to help you understand where your beliefs, expectations, and behaviours come from and to identify any patterns that may no longer be serving you. It’s also a space for strengthening the care and love you have for yourself, others and the world around you. We’ll establish rituals and strategies for connection that support you to feel more present and aligned.

So why choose relationship counselling online?

Relationship counselling online has lots of benefits, making it a great option for both individuals and couples. Firstly, it allows you to participate from a place where you are comfortable and at ease, supporting you to feel more relaxed and receptive to the process. This can be especially helpful if you or your partner feel nervous or intimidated by the idea of therapy, as the familiar environment encourages openness and understanding. Think of it as one less hurdle. You may also find that it offers greater privacy, as you can have sessions without worrying about running into someone you know while going to and from sessions. Plus, the flexibility of relationship counselling online means you can easily find a time that works around your schedule, whether you're balancing work, family, or other commitments.

Whether you’re seeking to strengthen your relationships, navigate difficult transitions, or better understand yourself and your partner, relationship counselling online provides a convenient, confidential, and supportive space to do so. If this sounds like something you need, please reach out. I’d be very happy to support you towards deepening your connections.
