As a relationships grow, over time it is common to see individual priorities within a relationship, begin to change. Work demands may increase, family members may become ill or perhaps another child is born…whatever the shift in the relationship dynamic, these changes can sometimes cause stress and result in relationship breakdown.

At other times, perhaps there has been infidelity and it seems as if the relationship will never recover.

And then there are times when members of the relationship may engage in unhealthy behaviours, such as violence, gambling or addiction, and these contribute to relationship breakdown.

Relationship breakdown may result in changes in

intimacy and affection
understanding and communication
respect and consideration
or simply interest in one another
leading to a wondering about whether you should remain together

The earlier that these challenges are addressed, the more likely it is that we can help you as a couple with our Brighton couples counseling sessions

develop positive communication skills
assist you in addressing conflict within your relationship
rediscover intimacy
address the impact of relationship disharmony upon your children

How we do it

We do this by bringing focus to a number of aspects of you relationship. We look at the dynamics between you and your partner, exploring how these patterns have come to be. We establish what it is that you want in your relationship and determine what brings positive repair to your relationship. We teach you how to communicate open and honestly in a way that feels good for both of you. We help you reconnect to the spark that brought you together, and in all of this celebrate the positive shifts you achieve.

There are other times however, that our work may need to be about separating in a way that both parties feel whole.

Initial Brighton couples counseling sessions run for 90 minutes and generally subsequent sessions are 60 minutes in length.

If you would like to speak to someone about the possibility of addressing some difficulties in your relationship or working to enhance your relationship, please contact us at 03-9532-4567 or book online via our Online BOOKING service.

Relationship Counselling In Brighton

Relationships can be delicate balancing acts. While two people may work harmoniously forever, sometimes there are life changes that disrupt the scale and cause tensions or conflicts. These changes may be sudden such as a career change causing a change in behaviour or a new baby that disrupts the flow of a relationship. Or they may be more gradual - such as growing apart slowly due to different interests and social groups.

Couples therapy in Brighton helps couples identify the causes of their relationship problems and discuss them openly with each other. Here, at The Grove Counselling, we provide a safe, neutral space that allows you to assess the issues causing the relationship to become troubled. Through open and honest conversation you can find solutions to the real problems you are experiencing.

Relationship counselling in Brighton doesn’t mean we assign blame to one party or encourage accusations. This is a positive experience, designed to provide you with the emotional and verbal tools to talk through problems and strengthen your relationship.

How Does Couples Therapy Work In Brighton

Sometimes people in relationships lose the valuable skill of communication. There are many reasons for this and during your couples counselling sessions in Brighton you’ll be able to identify the core reasons for the relationship troubles you are experiencing with relationship breakdown counselling.

Sometimes significant acts (such as infidelity, gambling and addiction) and the associated changes in behaviour can cause problems to reach a breaking point. But there may also be underlying issues that couples therapy in Brighton will uncover.

Each relationship and the specific circumstances are unique. Therefore our therapists work to identify the situation and the relationship dynamic first. This enables the therapist to work on the issues that are most concerning for each relationship. This may involve exploring communication patterns, the influence of past experiences on your current emotions and learning how to reconnect with one another intimately.

The first session will be 90 minutes long, whilst the rest will be 60 minutes. This allows the therapist and you the opportunity to establish ground rules as well as ensure you both feel safe and comfortable during your sessions.

Why Choose Couples Therapy In Brighton

If you want to find that spark that ignited your relationship in the beginning, you might need a neutral party to help you find your way back to one another. A neutral party, your therapist, can help you see your relationship in a new light by actively listening to what you say. Often, hearing what someone else hears when you speak can give you a new perspective and a place to begin your healing journey.

The best couples therapy in Brighton is provided by a therapist that 'fits' both partners. Therapy is a process, and part of that might be sharing personal, intimate details in a safe and comfortable space.
