Relationship Counselling Auckland and online.
Relationships are arguably one of the most important things in life. After all, what would our life be like without true connection to others? Lonely, for a start. And definitely lacking in joy and fun!
​
Yet relationships, whether they are with work colleagues or bosses, family members, parent/child, friends or partners, or between businesses, can be anything but joyful or loving, as they often break down. And when they break down they can make your life really awful, in terms of stress, anxiety, low confidence, sleeplessness, depression, over or under eating, relying on sugar, alcohol or other drugs to take the edge off life…
​
Relationship Counselling with Anne will support you to work through issues in your various relationships, so that you are able to work through problems that can and do arise from time to time, without the angst that often accompanies these issues – so you can have loving, authentic and truthful relationships that are built on solid foundations.
Couples Counselling North Shore, Auckland
Romantic relationships can be very challenging, as your partner is the person you often spend the most time with, and with whom you have the most hooks, in the sense that, for example, you may want your partner to love and respect you, or expect him or her to be or act a certain way. Such expectations and pictures of how things should be do not make for a loving, harmonious relationship, let alone a fulfilling one.
​Having worked with couples for nine years as a mediator of family disputes, I offer support for couples to let go expectations and pictures, to communicate well, to re-build trust, let down their guards and deepen their intimacy, so that they can have a true, loving and respectful relationship built on solid foundations.
I also support couples to understand how past hurts, including childhood hurts and hurts from previous romantic relationships, may have affected their current relationship, and to let go such hurts in order to re-design and re-invigorate their relationship.
Marriage Counselling
Marriage is a huge commitment to each other. It does seem though that over time we can start to lose our way in our marriage, especially with the changes and challenges that happen in life, or maybe the spark simply goes out of our marriage. Maybe it was when we had children, or when we couldn’t have children. Maybe we had to move towns, cities or even countries. Maybe we just got exhausted, or we focussed too much on work and not enough on our relationship. Maybe one of us got really sick or depressed, or another of our loved ones became ill or passed.
​
A successful, loving marriage can be the recipe for a vibrant and joyful life, and can also be an inspiration to others.
​
I have worked with separating couples for nine years and been a life and wellbeing coach for 28 years. I will work with you both to work through any issues or challenges in your marriage, in order to re-ignite (kindle) the love, joy, harmony and respect you had for each other on entering marriage, and to deepen and expand the love you have for each other.
