Couples and Relationship Counselling in Edinburgh and Glasgow

Often these are communication based or about the distribution of power, space and responsibility.

Some typical issues tend to pop up in certain types of relationship more than others, but generally it does not matter what the group type or sexuality is, such issues occur.

We actively work with:

- Traditional marriages and families

- Non-traditional relationships

- Gay and Lesbian and Bi-sexual relationships

- Step families and carers

We also work with people in:

- No-faith relationships (atheist or secular support)

- Same faith (both of the same religion / faith)

- Mixed faith (different members of different faiths)

- Pagan / Wiccan

- Christian

- Muslim

- Multi-faith

- All other faiths will also be supported without discrimination to the best of our ability.

Although there are typical problems that occur, each presentation tends to be different. This is because individuals are coming together, each with their own emotional state and issues, and then these are combining into a group "dynamic". Therefore sometimes there are problems for individuals to work on, and problems with the "dynamic" as well. Some of these issues may cause new issues and interact in weird and wonderful ways too!

All in all it is vital to have a flexible, multi-discipline approach to such work so as to be able to adapt to individual cases while remaining non-judgmental, non-assuming and non-discriminatory.

Sometimes support is offered to individuals from within a group that is in couple's therapy elsewhere, or to a group whose members are having individual therapy elsewhere. We are happy to be part of an over care package where appropriate.

Where a member of the group is under 18 years old, we need parent's or guardians consent to assist them, and a suitable adult must accompany them to sessions, although some of that session may occur with them "sitting out".  Special confidentiality agreements also apply for under 16's.

In the first instance drop us an email or use the feedback form to contact us. We can then advise whether we feel we can appropriately assist you.
