Why Counselling for Gay Relationships?

Gay Couple Counselling offers effective systemic, psychodynamic & cognitive behavioural approach (CBT) solutions that, for decades, have provided effective transformations for couple relationships.

Gay men and lesbian women are just as capable of managing relationship-conflicts as any other couple. Many of us, though, were disadvantaged in the way we were brought up in heteronormative, gay-unaware or gay-intolerant  families.  Sometimes, our attachment styles were disturbed leaving long-term intimacy difficult.

In Gay Couple Counselling we can work on:-

• Communication & Listening Skills.
• Learning how your relationship 'systems' work and how to dynamically interrupt & repair faults.
• Understanding what your arguments are trying to achieve.
• Understanding how your 'baggage' triggers his/hers 'baggage'.
• Learning differences between Intimacy, Sex, Love & Affection.
• Building a set of couple-skills to last your lifetime.

It takes courage to bring your relationship into counselling. It will be our honour to work with you.

How to Begin Counselling for Gay Couples

Gay Couple Counselling won't commit you to a lengthy course and you're not obligated to a minimum or maximum number of sessions. We'll start with an introduction session to discuss the relationship problems, talk about what options there are for you, what's involved in working in Gay Couple Counselling, and to make sure that you're both informed about the process should you decide to continue with sessions.

Let's make this straightforward:-

1. Choose from our Face-to-Face or our Skype/Online service.
2. Choose a day and a time that you both could attend weekly (details here).
3. Contact us!

If we all agree to continue meeting, you will be invited to one individual session each, before meeting together again to aggregate all that's been learned so far. Our aim is to find, negotiate & agree the focus for your unique relationship's needs from couple counselling.

You and your partner will become active participants in the therapy process, along with the therapist, and you will be creating a therapy that works uniquely for your particular relationship ... until you've no more need for further counselling sessions.
