People often come to see me during or after a relationship breakdown. I help clients make sense of what’s happened in the relationship and clients are always keen to understand what they can do differently so that they can either repair the relationship or work on themselves so that, in the future, the same recurring patterns don’t keep showing up.
Self development means doing the work to learn about the aspects of your personality that you may not be proud of (in other words the shadow side) but are there nevertheless and consciously or unconsciously drive behaviours that either benefit or sabotage relationships. We all have these aspects to ourselves! If we can at least become aware, and if we know and understand why we do the things we do then we can make choices about whether those thoughts, motivations and behaviours are helping us or hindering us from having those satisfying relationships that are so desirable.
I help clients recognise their motivations, voice their needs and solidify their boundaries so that they can have satisfying, harmonious relationships with partners who are loving, supportive, compassionate, kind, respectful and trustworthy.
