The Good Therapy Practice In Hythe, near Folkestone, Kent, has now expanded to offer couple counselling. Human Givens psychotherapist and founder Paula Gardner commented, “Couples often come to me because their relationship is not where they want it to be. Sometimes, it’s a dramatic incident, like an affair, that has shaken their world, but it can also be that they no longer feel connected in the same way.”

Human Givens therapy is especially effective as it’s solution focused, meaning the couple work with where they are now, rather than harking back to days of childhood. Of course, if past patterns or trauma are impacting the relationship, they are worked with.

Issues that can be addressed by couples counselling include:

• Shock and betrayal
• Step and blended families
• Drifting apart
• A change in life circumstances that is affecting the relationships
• Addiction
• Trauma
• Dealing with bereavement, chronic illness and pain

There are some couple who go to relationship counselling when they have already decided to part, and this can be useful to help navigate a divorce or split, especially if there are children involved.
