When an important relationship becomes strained or distressed, the pain can challenge you to the core. Our Relationship Counsellors will work with you in order to reveal the dynamics of your relationship – the patterns that you have built to protect the wounds that you have suffered.
Together you will explore and uncover the hidden beliefs and unconscious drivers that are the triggers of your difficulties in relating to yourself or your partner. They will support you to become more conscious of what is going on when you are feeling misunderstood, betrayed or isolated.
What is EFT?
All couples have a negative pattern that develops when they are in distress, which EFT calls the demon dialogues. When we are in this place it might feel like you don’t know how to talk with each other. This is where therapy will help to bridge the gap between you. With this new awareness you will be able to understand how you’ve created the distance and disconnect in your relationship, which has created such intense loneliness and longing.
When you are able to understand how you got to this place in your relationship, it creates a map of what is going on for you and your partner so that you can change and deepen the connection between you. Counsellor, Lee Beaton’s goal is to help couples in distress to rebuild and strengthen their connection with each other and help them to create a more secure and loving relationship. She uses Emotional Focused therapy, an evidence-based Couples Therapy which has been shown to have an 87-90% improvement rate and a 70-73% success rate.
A relationship that thrives and gives you fulfilment will bring the kind of lasting happiness that enables you and your partner to grow and create deeper bonds.

Relationship Counselling and Families
Strong relationships lead to healthy families, yet parenting can be a difficult experience. Our own childhood experiences and expectations of what it means to be a parent can mean we have different styles of parenting, which can sometimes lead to conflict.
Relationship counselling can help you to understand more about your parenting styles, and what your needs are as individuals and as a couple. It can also help you understand the differing needs of each child, and how this impacts on the family dynamic.
