Research demonstrates that positive relationships help us to be happier, healthier and live longer, and living in the midst of high-conflict relationships is very bad for our health. So, clearly, addressing your relationship issues is vital for your health and happiness.
Through relationship coaching I help my clients improve, or make a decision about, a significant relationship that is affecting their happiness and sometimes even their health, or deal with the fall-out of a break-up or divorce.
Improving your relationship, or making the right decision about it, can also have a knock-on effect on other areas in your life such as your self-image, self-esteem, health, fitness, well-being, career, hobbies, and other relationships.
Why you’re here
You’re likely considering relationship help for one or more of the below reasons, although this list is by no means exhaustive:
- You’re feeling disconnected as romantic partners and there’s a lack of effort in the relationship.
- You’re concerned about your relationship with your children.
- You and your partner have drifted apart after children.
- Other people (e.g. in-laws, friends) are disrupting what you once had.
- Your partner’s behaviour has become unusual, aggressive or abusive.
- Financial concerns are killing your romance.
- You and your partner don’t agree on child-rearing methods.
- You’re struggling with you relationship with one or both of your parents.
- You’re struggling to reconnect as a couple since your children left you with an ’empty nest’.
- You need a better strategy for a business relationship.
- An important friendship is in need of help.
- You need help dealing with a break-up or divorce, whether it happened recently or a while ago.
You can come for relationship help alone to work on things on your own, together as two people, or use a combination of individual and ‘couples’ sessions which also works great, whatever the nature of your relationship.
I help people improve relationships, by resolving issues at the root cause so that they create lasting change. I help clients to achieve big changes, quickly. I usually help them to achieve their coaching goals in just 3-6 sessions, many in 3-4, results you’d usually expect to achieve after a much lengthier counselling/therapy program.
I also help people manage the divorce or break-up process in a handful of sessions, helping them to deal with their grief, anxiety, depression, repetitive negative thoughts, communications with their ex, co-parenting strategies, and more.
My relationship coaching is proactive, science-based, solution-focused, compassionate, non-judgmental and uplifting.
You set the agenda for your sessions.
I use a combination of skilful questioning, sharing expert insights, using my intuition, and suggesting tasks/strategies that will help you to make fast progress – practical steps you’re happy to utilise that will help you to achieve your goals; they’re usually easy and sometimes fun.
