Why marriage counselling?
Marriage counselling can be an exciting journey where both partners unite to tackle challenges and turn tension into harmony. Sessions help married couples address issues, barriers, and problems such as affairs. It is about finding manageable outcomes, resolving conflicts, and more, with the option of short-term solutions-focused approaches.
​Another Hope Counselling and Psychotherapy service offers trauma-informed care, focusing on understanding the impacts of depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, neurodiversity, learning difficulties, parenting and more. These issues impacting relationships can be very challenging, and married couples may need professional help through difficult times.​
A Holistic Approach to Relationship Specialism
As a Relate-trained relationship and marriage counsellor and family therapist, I draw on a broad range of personal and professional experiences from various specialist organisations. Our sessions can offer a lively therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable discussing issues on your mind. Our collaboration takes a holistic approach, enabling both you and the therapist to openly explore each couple’s dynamics within the safety of our developing therapeutic relationship.
How can I assist you both as a marriage counsellor -
In today’s dynamic world, the traditional gender roles in marriage are evolving, creating exciting opportunities and challenges around income, housekeeping, parenting, and so much more.
When partners focus too much on their individual needs, it can strain their relationship, but don’t worry—there’s hope! With the right skills and tools, marriage can be a source of joy and stability.
​
A well rounded Relational Approach and model
As a passionate trauma-informed therapist, offering a dynamic, relational approach that meets clients on multiple levels is a goal. Whilst working closely with each partner—the couple as a unit—also meeting them at various points in their thinking, behaviour and ego-states. There, we develop relational tools — such as patience and effective communication — that are the heartbeat of a thriving marriage, to strengthen their bond.
The value here is that everyone is worth a chance to thrive. Even if you feel your relationship is in a rough patch, our sessions can uncover hidden patterns that hinder or resist progress, helping you move towards a brighter future. The hope, by extension, is a thriving family.
Here are some reasons why partners often seek marriage counselling
Communication Issues: Communication is vital to any healthy relationship; expressing your thoughts and feelings requires awareness. I offer psychoanalysis and in-depth relational processes, as needed, to help improve communication skills.
Building Foundation: Though unspoken, these have psychological implications for harmony and for communicating each other’s meanings—fostering couples’ security can help parenting abilities.
​
Mental Health: Navigating issues, like adverse childhood experiences, autism and ADHD, narcissism, emotional regulation, learning difficulties, clinical depression and more, can impact decisions, reactions, and communications.
​
Infidelity and Affairs: Restoring trust beyond betrayal can be challenging. Insights into root-cause issues can increase respect, value, and confidence in the relationship.
​
Intimacy and Sexual Issues: Despite the vital physical intimacy in a marriage relationship, partners can feel uneasy discussing or sharing their intimate needs, which promotes staleness.
Negative experiences: These tend to hinder emotional responses, making intimacy feel distant. Working collaboratively with partners empowers rebuilding passion, intimacy, and emotional connection, thereby improving physical connections.
​
Financial Issues: Money problems can cause significant stress and tension. With socio-economic, psychological, trauma-informed services here, we can explore how your financial options and budgets impact you, addressing root issues, anxieties, or conflict.
​
Difference and Culture: With each partner being unique, your differences need not cause a divide. Tools for making space, cultivating tolerance, and building strengths are required.
​
What if Spirituality matters?
Faith shapes the values of love, fidelity and relationship. Partners not being mindful of the others beliefs and values can promote conflicts and problems. We can explore Faith-based Christian Marriage counselling to explore beliefs for couples who have such values.
No marriage is beyond repair if partners are willing to resolve their issues. Waiting worsens challenges, making them more costly. Addressing them on time can renew hope.
