Our relationships are the core of our well-being and self-worth and where we have the greatest opportunity for personal growth and development both spiritually and emotionally.
When a relationship hits a crisis point or has reached the point of no return the range of emotions that we experience are overwhelming and distressing and often result in behaviours we would never have imagined being capable of. In close, intimate relationships we push each other’s buttons, mostly unintentionally or unconsciously, and sometimes out of fear, anger and frustration.
Counselling, talking with a non-judgemental and compassionate professional can bring you to a place of greater clarity, self-understanding and awareness of why you have got to where you are and give you the opportunity to create where you want to be.
By clearing some of the emotional turmoil and changing unhelpful behaviours, counselling opens the door to new ways of being you and being in relationship with those you love and value.
However, when a relationship is ending, the ripple effect is vast and devastating and when children are involved moving on is much slower and harder as somehow you have to manage co-parenting as well as your own emotions and pain. Counselling can help you to find that way forward and transform the relationship from couple to separate co-parents by working collaboratively through those feelings to make healthier choices for yourself and your young people.
Sometimes it can be helpful for you to attend counselling as a family, giving your children a voice in the process and a chance to express some of their feelings. This can be enormously helpful to your children but also to you in understanding their feelings and needs during a very difficult time. Depending on the ages of your children they will also have the opportunity to attend individual sessions if they want to.
