Little Bird Counselling

We are social beings, but that doesn't mean that living and loving other people always flows easily. So seeking help to live harmoniously with the ones we love is a smart choice.

I use an Emotionally Focused therapeutic approach, and draw on Gestalt theory and Solution-Focused therapy.

Each person's perspective is listened to and deeply respected in session.

What should you expect?

It's always best to see both of you together for the first session. After that I schedule separate sessions to see each of you separately for another session. Then I most often bring you back together for at least a few more sessions. The schedule is then flexible, depending on each partner's needs and the needs of both of you as a partnership. 

The sessions and our work together give you the chance to openly voice all your concerns, thoughts and feelings about the things going on in your relationship. 

Our work together is experiential, which is to say that the important stuff happens in the here and now. This means that I set up opportunities in the session for bonding moments, and experiences to give each of you a renewed understanding and perspective of your partner's viewpoints, and their deepest fears and emotions. 

This takes trust, which can take time to be re-established if you've felt disconnected for some time.

The good news though is that once the work is successfully done, where these experiences are deeply felt by each of you, and the re-connection established; the positive changes in your relationship are long-lasting. Research on the Emotionally-focused Therapy approach has proven this time and time again. 

So take the first step today. Discuss with your partner when you can come in together to make a start on repairing your relationship and reconnecting with each other again. Then follow the links to phone me or book directly through my website at  www.littlebirdcounselling.com.au.
