Little Lodge Counselling
Person-Centred Counselling in Bexhill-on-Sea.
Couples therapy is a talking therapy that provides a supportive space where couples can go to work through relationship difficulties, to rebuild their relationship, to take preventative measures to protect their current relationship or to find a way of communicating with one another after a breakdown of a relationship, especially when there are children involved or finical entanglement etc. Couples therapy can be helpful at any stage of the relationship.
There are many reasons why couples choose to go to a couples therapist: to resolve tension and problems that arise, health issues, roles in the relationship, beliefs and values, finances, time spent together, children, sex and intimacy, external stressors, understanding each other better, to identify relationship issues, to improve communication skills, resolve conflict, change dysfunctional behaviour, learn skills, and improve the communication between the couple.
My role as the counsellor is not to judge you with what you are going through, instead it is to provide an outside pair of eyes, to understand what each person is experiencing and to offer support during this time. As the counsellor, I am not there to ensure you stay together, or influence you into a decision, instead I am there to help find the path that works best for you and sometimes on occasion this could be a separation. As the counsellor I would be ensuring that everyone is heard, and not spoken over, and I will not be taking sides and I would encourage you to tell me if you feel this at any time. There can be a mix between talking therapy and activities depending on the couple, their needs and its relevance, I am a person-centred therapist, which means I will be led by you.
I Have worked with over 23 couples and have undergone the relevant training to be a couples counsellor.
