SKILLED RELATIONSHIP 

HELP FOR COUPLES

We are born to bond. This is the way our brains are wired. We do not grow out of our need for this bonding, it lasts from the cradle to the grave. Secure bonds happen in our relationships when there is emotional openness and responsiveness. They make us more resilient, less depressed and anxious, and even more physically healthy!

Relationships can be challenging at times, but also extremely rewarding. Just like anything rewarding, there's a degree of work involved, and once this work is put in, a relationship can flourish and thrive.

Couples counselling can provide the knowledge and skills to understand how interactions with our partner are either helping or harming a relationship. Understanding and acceptance from, and dedication to our partner, can turn the tide in a relationship.​
