Kate understands that effective counselling is based on finding and recognising patterns in each partnership, finding where the flexibility and motivation for the relationship is sourced, then coaching effective expression to build upon that.
Through marriage and couple counselling, couples can resolve recurring issues that have been affecting their relationships. It can help them move towards a more trusting and closer relationship. Most of the time, our relationships are shaped by our past experiences with either our parents or family. Being able to work with couples is rewarding and I’m hopeful that they can finally move on from these problems.
Counsellor/Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, Master of Counselling
Faced with relationship and marriage conflict is not a nice place to be in. Facing the issues before they become impossible to handle is the way to go. Having awareness of the others needs not placing blame, listening and clarifying and not being judgemental is important in strengthening relationships.
