Why choosing evidenced-based couples counselling is so important
The average couple waits six years before seeking help from a couples counsellor, according to research by US clinical psychologist John Gottman.

Did you know you have a choice?
When it comes to our physical health, we consider which gym to attend, which trainer we prefer or what type of gym gear is most comfortable. In contrast, we can be quite passive when it comes to choosing options around treating our emotional well being.
Is it ok to check your partner’s phone?
Short answer to this one – generally, no, it isn’t ok to check your partner’s phone. While a lot of couples may reason that they have nothing to hide, so it is ok, from a relationship counselling perspective I am curious and wonder about the following:
“You’re so sensitive…”
Do you find yourself soaking up the energy and emotions of others, to the point you sometimes feel quite exhausted? Or maybe others tell you that you are ‘too sensitive’?
What’s the point of journalling?
I’ve tended to be a bit sceptical about journalling up until now, mainly because I tended to see it as a something else I’d need to find time for during the day.
