Relationship Issues

When couples are having relationship difficulties, they often struggle to repair their relationship.

There becomes an urgent need for change, not only for their sakes, but for their families too.
Emotional Therapy promotes different methods of communicating which allows you to work through your issues, both during and after sessions.
Emotional Therapy provides a safe space to express your feelings and thoughts to help you to understand each other. Using different communication styles can help towards a more harmonious relationship.

Divorce & Separation

Divorce and separation can be a difficult time for those experiencing the emotional trauma that comes with this. It is an upsetting and stressful time, the emotions are not too far removed from those attached to a bereavement, but without the closure of a death. Feelings of loss and despair are common place and sometimes the challenges ahead seem too challenging to overcome.
Emotional support from someone who is not connected to the situation, can be objective, someone who is there for you, is essential in getting through these difficult times.

Inner Child

You may have heard the term 'inner child' and wondered what it could mean. Everybody has their own history and will have been influenced by significant people in their lives. Our inner child stores the memories and feelings from our childhood and the experiences that impact on us.
We will have made 'decisions' at a sub-conscious level based on how we think we 'should' be and what we think we 'should' do to 'survive' being with family members.
As we go through life we will revisit the experiences of our childhood and behave in a way that we have learned from a young age. We continue with this sub-conscious 'rule book' into adulthood and the decisions we make rule our lives.
Our child lives inside the grown up body and this child is continuously seeking attention, love and understanding from others.
Emotional Therapy helps you to understand your own inner child and how to love and comfort your inner child. 

Bereavement / Loss

It is said that 'time is a great healer', the truth is, 'over time, you heal'. There are several levels in the process of grief: 
Shock/ Denial/ Disbelief/ Guilt/ Pain/ Anger/ Depression, to mention some.
Grief is a lengthy process where there will be good days and bad days. Over time you will learn to adjust and reconstruct your life and to finally accept.
Emotional Therapy offers you a safe place to talk about your thoughts and feelings, without judgement or disapproval. It is often too hard to talk to those close to you about how you are really feeling. There is no set period of time for mourning. Being listened to and heard can ease the pathway back to hopefulness.
Emotional Therapy uses techniques that gently allow you to talk in a safe space and be listened to.

Assertiveness / Self-confidence / Self-esteem

Our mistaken beliefs about who we are can be deep routed in the past. The feelings of 'not being good enough'  in our subconscious are most likely to originate from our inner child.
Rescuing and re-parenting your inner child is the key to feeling happy within yourself. When you are feeling happier, you are more positive and more able to embrace fun, laughter and spontaneity. Often these are buried in childhood years.
Confidence comes from within, as we grow more confident, we become more assertive. As we become more assertive, we start to take ownership of our future and begin the process of moving forward.
Emotional Therapy allows you to explore your 'mistaken beliefs' that have been programmed by others and replace them with their true beliefs.
Abuse - Emotional, Physical, Sexual. 
Psychological abuse, often called emotional abuse, is one form of abuse. It is when subjects another to behaviour that cause psychological trauma., anxiety, depression and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).  
Psychological, physical and sexual abuse involve a person who attempts to frighten, control and isolate you. The abuser could be a family member, spouse or romantic partner.
The after affects are so personally damaging that any individual that has been subjected to any kind of abuse is going to feel emotionally broken and unable to cope.
Emotional Therapy supports you through the process of telling your story with the eventual outcome enabling you to let go of the stored hurt and pain.
