Couple counselling allows each individual to 'hear' each other in the safety of the counselling room. Breaking down issues gently are the keys to understanding the nature of what is getting in the way of having a more fulfilling relationship.

 
Counselling provides the perfect forum for both individuals and couples to openly discuss issues of concern, and to deal with conflicts and misunderstandings safely, respectfully and constructively.

Monique works with the dynamic communication that occurs within the counselling session, helping each person to identify behaviours, blocks and upsets and therefore bringing a deeper awareness to each person's perspective. 
 

She also works in a family 'systems' framework. Family systems is a wonderful way of understanding each other without 'the blame'.  It puts each person into the context of their family group - what roles you had within your family, what behaviours and styles of relating were learned and how this is affecting you individually and as a couple.

Counselling can benefit both individuals and couples. Even if your partner is unsure about couple counselling, individuals can still benefit.  Individually you can deepen your own understanding of your relationship and your behaviour within it. You can gain support and clarity about the situation and learn how to make changes to enhance yourself and your relationship.

It can also help couples develop a deeper connection and understanding of each other.
It can help couples discuss and move through issues such as separation, affairs, addictions, conflict, children, communication, etc.

Monique also uses other various psychotherapeutic interventions including hypnosis, mindfulness, family systems therapy, sandplay etc depending on the level of need and what suits different clients.
If you need to understand personal, work, or relationship concerns or troubling feelings, you may find psychotherapy is what you are looking for. It is about giving a voice to your emotional and psychological self; getting to know yourself more deeply and therefore living a more authentic and fulfilling life.
Counselling and Psychotherapy for individuals and couples with issues from depression, anxiety, relationship issues, abuse, addictions, transition, grief and loss, eating disorders to just needing to talk confidentially.

Monique has been working in private practice with individuals for over 17 years.
