Dawn Henley MNCS
Couples counselling.
I am dedicated to helping couples work through their issues and find a path to a happier, healthier relationship.
I understand that each couples relationship is unique, and therefore my approach is tailored to the specific needs of the Relationship.
I Integrate, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Intimate Partners Therapy, Imago and Gottmans therapy along with The Psychodynamic understanding of how relationships operate.
I help couples make sense of relationship distress, and more importantly help them understand and change negative patterns, into more secure and safe connections.
Couples seek counselling for a number of reasons, including but not limited too:
-
feeling detached from the relationship
-
Infidelity/lack of trust
-
Difficulty communicating
-
High conflict/rows
-
Affairs or mistrust
-
Sex and Intimacy difficulties
-
Separation / Divorce
My goal is to help couples become more conscious and intentional about their communication, so that they can create a supportive, loving relationship. Get in touch to learn more about how I can help you.
Drifting Apart
It can be easy for couples to drift apart over time, the distractions of life, family, money and kids can take our focus and steer us off in different directions, without us even recognising it. That lovely feeling of closeness, fun and intimacy has dwindled. Those deep meaningful conversations, turn into superficial brief chats usually about work, money or moans etc, those days of being passionate turn into a quicky here and there and even though you still love each other you feel disconnected, and it can feel more like your room mates.Communication is by far the single biggest aspect that holds couples together or tears them apart.Does one or both of you spend a lot of your couple time with a phone in front of your face? The biggest issue I see with couples who are drifting apart is that they have foggoton how to prioritize their relationship. They have stopped talking about their feelings, wants, needs, desires and hopes and dreams. If you are reading this the chances are you are would like help getting your relationship back on track. Maybe you or your partner have some trauma or bad communication habits that are getting in the way.If this resonates with you get in touch and see how I can help you understand what’s going wrong, and what you need to do in order to get back on track Dawn x
