Couple's Therapy
Relationships can be tough, but seeking help is a very important first step to healing the hurt and finding your path to reconnection. Dave Clarke is ready to assist and conducts relationship counselling. It is not always necessary for both partners to be present for all sessions, and in fact it is usually beneficial to conduct some individual work with each partner in parallel with relationship therapy. Please discuss your individual needs with your psychologist prior to or in the initial session.
Each relationship is unique of course, but some common obstacles that some relationships encounter at some point include:
communication disruptions
parenting disputes or pressures
financial or legal issues
career pressures
gambling problems
alcohol and other substance use
work/life balance challenges
illness and injury/pain
mood swings and disorders
anger and domestic violence
infertility
grief and loss
infidelity issues
sexuality issues
life transitions such as family additions etc
step and blended family dynamics
care of elderly parents
'empty nest' experiences and retirement
relocation and other adjustment issues
'managing the in-laws' and other extended family challenges
..and plenty more of course..
