Carolyn helps you work out what is needed to make your relationship work better.
She has been a relationship counsellor for over 10 years and has worked with thousands of people through Relationship Scotland, and Relate organisations. She uses communication assessment, family understanding, as well as helping couples to work out how to be more comfortable with each other's differences. Prior to a serious breakdown, you can come in if things need a few tweaks, or if you have no particular problems, try a few sessions to enjoy your relationship more.
Couple counselling involves understanding your connection to yourself and your ability to be intimate with another human. We all learn from our chilhood how to form bonds with others. Sometimes messages from childhood are carried with us, and may not be very clear to us. Counselling can help us to understand how messages from the past can be impacting our current relationships. An initial assissment is made which lasts 90 minutes, and then a block of six sessions would be suggested.
What would happen in the sessions?
"Ineeded to clarify things after my partner told me that the relationship was coming to an end. Carolyn is very professional and yet guided us to a solution for our communication issues. We had 9 sessions, seven together, and one each on our own. Our communications really improved, and I was able to understand what had been going wrong and make changes. Carolyn helped us both see the other person's point of view. We began talking properly and connected again. It is now even better than when we first got together. I think relationship counselling really helped us find a true love for each other".
