Experiencing relationship problems/ issues? Feeling dissatisfied with your relationships?
If you are dissatisfied with your relationships then you may not feel valued by your friends colleagues or your partner. You might struggle to maintain fulfilling relationships or end up with people who belittle, exploit, bully or abuse you. It may be difficult to tell your friends what you think because you fear rejection or abandonment. Trusting people might be a challenge for you and you may be shying away from intimacy. Close relationships might cause you to feel trapped, overwhelmed or anxious. On the other hand, you may have experienced a number of relationships but they all “feel the same”.
How can counselling help individuals with relationship issues?
Counselling offers you the opportunity to explore how you relate to people. Together we can work on helping you to understand the patterns that may be leading you towards unfulfilling or destructive relationships. Becoming aware of how you relate to others, can help you identify what is stopping you from asserting yourself. In addition to this, experiencing trust and safety in a counselling relationship can help you regain trust in others. This can open the door to more nurturing and meaningful relationships where you are able to express your needs and have them met. If you have experienced numerous relationships that “feel the same”, then therapy offers you a chance to identify what is missing and gain insight into your passion and purpose.
