Relationship issues within a family, whether with a spouse or children, can have various negative effects on individuals and the family unit.

Issues such as poor communication, infidelity, betrayal, criticism from a partner, defensiveness, stonewalling and contempt can cause a vast range of emotions, including anxiety, depression and anger, as well as feelings of being dejected and disempowered.

When these issues go unresolved, especially when there’s conflict, it ultimately affects people’s self-esteem and overall mental and physical well-being.

Relationship therapy at Life Counselling Solutions focuses on improving the problem-solving skills of couples and uses a range of strategies to help them overcome the challenges they face.

Counselling provides a structured and supportive environment for couples to improve their communication skills, express themselves more effectively, listen actively, and better understand each other’s needs, desires, and fears. Through guided conversations, couples can gain insights into each other's perspectives, fostering empathy and connection.

Learning constructive conflict resolution strategies in a non-aggressive way can prevent recurring issues and strengthen the relationship.

Counselling encourages individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, leading to personal growth that can positively impact the relationship.

Couples can rebuild emotional and physical intimacy and achieve a more harmonious and fulfilling relationship by working through the challenges and underlying issues.
