COUNSELLING FOR RELATIONSHIP ISSUES & DIFFICULTIES

The shock of your relationship ending has taken your breath away and has made it feel like the floor has vanished beneath your feet. Perhaps it's a shock, you knew it was coming or you actually needed it to end. Whatever it true, now it's here, it's overwhelming.

The loss of your relationship and the grief you're experiencing is all consuming. It occupies your every thought, you constantly feel the stress and sadness in your heart and body, and it even interrupts your sleep and dreams. Checking out your ex on social media is excruciating and unbearable, but you can't help yourself.

And what about all the unknowns? So much what you've known is now changing - emotionally and practically. Perhaps you've lost some security, and there's so many questions around what is next and how you move forwards? This was not in the plan, and you feel lost, alone and in pain.

Is it time to get some support in counselling?

Let's help you to recover and re-build within therapy in Wimbledon SW19, Clapham SW4, online or by phone.

You're feeling betrayed due to something that's happened or perhaps you're the one who feels you have betrayed a loved one. Your mind spins as you try to figure out how to move past it. Late at night you question all the memories that you have.

Perhaps it's around an affair, or something else that has been covered up has been revealed. The trust, in some way, has been broken. You try to work out over and over if all be forgiven or whether things gone too far? You also are confused about what you actually want in this juncture. Did it all happen for a reason? What does it all mean?

What you do know is you can't sit with the hurt and pain for much longer - it all feels too unbearable and a weight you can no longer carry. You feel more and more drained as it continues.

Is it time for therapy to work through the possibilities and work out what you want?

We can help you through all of this within counselling in Wimbledon SW19, Clapham SW4, online or by phone.

Some days you enjoy the relationship - you know the routine and the familiarity holds comfort. Other days you feel trapped, unsure about how you feel and have knots in your stomach. Try as you might, you can't push your doubts away.

Over time, you've invested a lot in this relationship. And others have too. In fact, it seems everyone has expectations of what your relationship should be, thoughts about how to fix it and what the future holds.

But you're realising that it's not working and you're not happy. When you see your loved ones face, however, it seems impossible to raise what's going on for you and you don't want to hurt them. You're also feeling scared about what will happen if you decide to make changes or set new boundaries, or perhaps even take the step towards ending the relationship. What if I realise I've made a mistake? Is this what I really want?

Maybe it's time to explore what comes next in counselling?

Let's work it out together within therapy sessions with me in Wimbledon SW19, Clapham SW4, online or by phone.

You've come to a significant moment in your relationship and there are some decisions to be made. Are you both on the same page or are you now going in different directions?

You feel stressed at the dilemma you're in. What is more important to you - preserving the relationship as it is or welcoming in new change? It may be that the choice you're making is about moving location, having a child, getting married or changing career. Perhaps it's a choice between two different possibilities within your relationship, or maybe you have to choose between your partner and the other option, which they don't want to be a part of.

You may feel certain about the choice you are making but unsure about how to actually navigate it in real time. Or you may feel confused and uncertain of which decision to make.

Maybe it's time to explore your options in therapy?

Whilst it might feel easier to ignore, you just can't deny the patterns in your relationships which play like a broken record at this point. Why do all your relationships go down this path?

Why does this always happen when you get close to someone? It's discombobulating. You try to work it all out, and what's getting in the way of you having the relationship you want so very much, but it just feels like a mystery.

You have a sense that perhaps there are other things at play that may be impacting you and how you engage in relationships, but it's all so confusing and you feel vulnerable even having to consider it all. You end up feeling it's all your fault and frequently blame yourself when things go wrong.

You're fed up but there's a part of you which still wonders if things can be different. What if therapy can help?

Break unhelpful patterns with me within therapy sessions in Wimbledon SW19, Clapham SW4, online or by phone.

Being in relationships and dating, even though it's important to you to have in your life, brings stress, anxiety and overwhelm. It's all exhausting.

You wish that you could just relax and be comfortable in a relationship, but instead you find that you're constantly worried about what's going to go wrong, what you've done or said to make this happen, and are terrified of your loved one leaving you.

You imagine your relationship ending over and over, and do all you can to stop it happening. This means though, that you seem to either overwhelm your partner, become distant or struggle to get close to them.

Perhaps it's that you you're starting to realise that the way your partner treats you is not acceptable and is even harmful to you, yet you don't know how to challenge this, or how to leave the relationship.

You're so ready to have more healthy and fulfilling relationships. Is it time to get some help in therapy with this?

You are experiencing issues with a parent, sibling, child or other family member. Tensions are high, there is distance between you and/or issues actually began a long time ago.

You wish that interacting with your family member or family overall could be easier, but so often it feels like a burden, overly complicated and can cause you pain.

Perhaps you're realising that your childhood experiences were more challenging than you once thought. You'd like to understand the impact of what you went through and how it may be holding you back.

Maybe expectations from your family and/or culture are causing you stress and define how you live your life. Your wants, desires and needs constantly get brushed aside or are a low priority, compared to what others want of you. You so want to break free of this but how?

A recent rupture, escalating tension or estrangement has left you confused, hurting and unsure what to do next. It's causing you anxiety and to feel low. What next?
