Communication
Good communication is very important and most problems are either caused or exacerbated by poor communication. In a desperate attempt to feel heard we may raise our voices but sadly that usually does not work as our partner will either attack back or retreat. Together we can look at techniques to enable you to communicate in a way that avoids conflict and promotes a greater understanding of each other.
Many of us find talking about our feelings and emotions difficult as it makes us feel vulnerable. I aim to create a caring and non-judgemental place where you will feel it is safe to express yourself.
