When something isn’t working in your relationships
Difficulties in relationships are one of the most common reasons people seek counselling. That might mean a romantic relationship that’s under strain, a friendship that’s become difficult, tension with a parent or sibling, or a pattern of relationships that keep ending the same way.
Sometimes the issue is clear - a breakdown in communication, a feeling that you’ve grown apart. Other times it’s harder to name: a sense of distance, frustration that builds without an obvious trigger, or a recurring feeling of not being heard.
How counselling can help
Individual counselling for relationship difficulties focuses on you - your experience, your patterns, and what you want to be different. Your counsellor will help you explore what’s going on beneath the surface: what you bring to your relationships, what you need from them, and where things tend to go wrong.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding. Many people find that once they understand their own patterns more clearly, they’re better equipped to make changes - whether that means communicating differently, setting boundaries, or making difficult decisions about a relationship’s future.
Individual, not couples counselling
Physis Affordable Counselling offers individual sessions. If you’re looking for couples counselling where both partners attend together, we’d suggest contacting a specialist couples therapist. However, many people find that individual counselling gives them the clarity and confidence to approach relationship difficulties differently.
