What topics do you think are discussed in couples therapy? Anything you desire. You can express your emotions in a safe space. I facilitate the discussion by acting as an impartial and knowledgeable third party. You can be honest about your wants in couples counselling in the UK. Instead of passing judgment on you, I will assist you in determining the most effective ways to interact and settle disputes with your partner when you contact Penny Glazebrook Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Having treated couples for over 20 years in my integrative practice, I have noticed that one of the main problems in communication are unresolved issues that have continuously been avoided due to the need to ‘keep the peace’. In addition, children, careers and household responsibilities get in the way of tackling these fundamental issues. Over time, couples diverge away from one another until the situation reaches a crisis point.
In my private practice each person can express their true feelings without worrying about being judged or rejected. Couples can find the source of their problems in an atmosphere that promotes candid discussion. After problems are openly identified and discussed with the aid of active listening, couples are better prepared to see the other person’s point of view.
Obtain an Unbiased Viewpoint
I can help you express your thoughts while also providing an objective viewpoint. Because partners frequently approach problems from their own emotional perspective, they can lose sight of the essential objective, which is to preserve and strengthen a positive relationship.
Couples also frequently ask friends and relatives for a second perspective, which results in highly biased remarks and counsel. This isn’t always helpful and can exacerbate the original problem(s). I will listen to your issues and provide unbiased advice. The sole objective is to provide both couples with a sense of being understood and heard.
Learn more about issues such as:
- Is the balance of power maintained?
- Which communication patterns—positive or negative—do you fit into?
- Is there a prevalent problem that reappears repeatedly? How can you get past that?
- What is each person’s approach to conflict?
- What is required for each partner to experience greater love?
- What kinds of concessions could be necessary to get there?
One of the keys to building a solid link is understanding the positive and negative patterns in your relationship, which may be achieved by using the responses to these questions.
Recognise One Another’s Needs
It is in our nature to observe things from our point of view. It can be difficult to think about your partner when you’re so engrossed in your own feelings, ideas, and actions. Zooming out and becoming more conscious of each other’s needs are encouraged in my couples counselling in the UK. Because everyone feels heard and understood, this knowledge promotes improved communication and greater bonds between people.
Couples can also use my counselling at Penny Glazebrook Counselling & Psychotherapy to think back on their previous experiences together. Reach out to me now and let me help you to understand one another with a view to having a more fulfilling relationship in the future.
