Couples Counselling · Crowthorne, Berkshire
A safe place for both of you to talk, listen, and find each other again.
Why couples counselling
“Relationships are central to our well being. They make us feel we belong, and they are central to our self esteem.”
When life puts pressure on a relationship, the strain often shows up in the small, daily moments long before it shows up in the big ones. Counselling gives the two of you a place to slow down, look at what is happening, and decide together what you want to build next.
Common pressures
Every relationship is different, but the pressures rhyme. Some of the things couples come to talk about:
Debt, income changes, different attitudes to money.
Recurring arguments, walking on eggshells, feeling unheard.
Mismatched desire, intimacy fading, talking about it feeling impossible.
In laws, blended families, caring for ageing parents.
Illness, chronic conditions, mental health, the strain of caring.
Parenting differences, teenage years, empty nest.
Moving, redundancy, retirement, midlife, becoming parents.
Long hours, burnout, work spilling into home.
How it shows up
When stress sits inside a relationship, you can often see it in patterns like these:
Moving forward together
Coming for relationship therapy offers a couple a safe place to share, talk about and explore their difficulties and life issues. Together we can work on:
“I believe it is possible to learn together new, more positive ways to relate and love each other, in ways that last and allow the relationship to grow in more healthy ways.”
