Integral Couple Counselling

Couple Counselling in Edinburgh

I am a Relate trained couple counsellor and have a private practice in Edinburgh, Scotland. During a typical series of sessions I will usually see the couple as individuals and as a couple. We can investigate the reasons for the current problems you are having and explore feelings in a non judgmental way, thereby helping you move forwards as a couple and as individuals.

Sometimes, it maybe that only one half of the couple is willing to come to therapy, and in those circumstances, I can help you work through the emotions you are currently experiencing and help you work towards a happier future.

Sometimes, it maybe the case that the relationship can not be saved, in those circumstances we can work together towards an amicable separation: particularly important when there are children involved. I can also act as an unbiased mediator and help you work through the issues currently in dispute.

Sometimes it maybe the case that you find yourself repeating disastrous relationships over and over again. I will work with you to help you find the core issue that is behind this pattern of behavior and help you spot key triggers and situations that you need to be aware of.

I use a variety of techniques and counselling styles and try to find an approach that is uniquely tailored to you as individuals and couples.

"The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep." - Alan Patrick Herbert

"We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways - the ways we react and behave when we love someone."
