Relationship issues

Difficulties with communication, trust, and intimacy, whether with family, friends, partners or colleagues, can lead to stress and dissatisfaction in relationships. For example, you might struggle with assertiveness (e.g., expressing needs or setting boundaries), leading to passive or aggressive interactions with others, which can create conflict, distance, or codependency. Additionally, you may deal with trust issues due to past betrayals, abandonment, or rejection, which can affect your ability to be vulnerable and form secure connections. These difficulties often result in increased stress, emotional pain, and dissatisfaction in personal relationships.

At our practice, we offer a safe space where you can examine your relationship dynamics, and gain the insights and tools needed to resolve conflict and build more meaningful and satisfying relationships. Mindfulness practices improve emotional awareness and presence, enhancing active listening and empathy. CBT and DBT offer strategies to change negative thought and behaviour patterns, while helping you manage emotions and enhance your communication skills. IFS can help you understand and integrate different parts of yourself to improve self-understanding and relational interactions, while EMDR can help you process and heal past attachment wounds.
