Honest, authentic relationships are essential for personal wellbeing. Often, our personal issues play a significant role in our interpersonal relationships. It is also not uncommon for people in close relationships to experience challenges at times with how they communicate their differing needs and wants, their hopes and dreams. 

Relationships require ongoing effort and commitment from each person in the relationship. Are you experiencing a sense of disharmony or disconnection in your relationship? Do you feel like communication just isn't working effectively sometimes or that conversations seem to often end up in arguments or distancing from one another? Perhaps it seems you want different things, or have different expectations of what you want your relationship to be. You may be experiencing a loss of intimacy and are worried if your relationship will last the distance. Sometimes, you struggle to communicate your needs.

Additional factors such as life transitions, ill health, the experience of aging, caring for a loved one, empty nest syndrome, physical decline or any sudden unexpected change can influence the life and liveliness of our relationships. Seeking therapeutic support at times of great challenge can be supportive.

If you identify with these feelings, relationship therapy can offer help to move forward.
