And so therapy has to be founded on our relationship we build and the dynamics of it.
On the upside, it's not just about coping through the hard times, but finding a way to build on the good times as well. I like to help clients tap into their unique strengths and then use them to overcome the challenges life is presenting.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
