Couples counselling
Couples counselling for the fight you keep having.
Fifty-five minutes with both of you, working out what sets each of you off and what you’ll do instead. Face to face in Logan, by video or by phone.
If someone in the relationship is hurting or scaring you, see support if you are experiencing violence. In danger now, call 000.
What it helps with
- The same argument, over and over
- Communication that turns into blame
- Trust after a breach
- Money, family, or how to raise the kids
- Drifting apart and not knowing how to get back
- Stress from work spilling into home
Two people, one moment.
An example of how a session pulls apart the argument that keeps coming back.
Talk about money without it turning nasty.
Hurt, that comes out as anger.
“They don’t respect what I do for this family.”
Old arguments get dragged back in.
Stick to one thing, and take a break at the first raised voice.
How Phil works
Both of you work through the letters, then you practise a different way through the moments that go wrong.
Each of you has your own triggers, emotions and beliefs. Phil helps you see both sets at once, so the argument stops being about who’s right and starts being about what happens between you.
You leave sessions with something specific to try at home. The next session starts with how it went, including when it didn’t.
