Why Counselling for Gay Relationships?

Posted by on 1 Jun, 2012 in | 0 comments

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.
