Relationships can be an extremely sensitive area
for people and we can advise and assist in resolving
difficulties in many ways.
We can provide you with advice and assistance about
local agencies that offer counselling to help you and
your partner work through the difficulties in your relationship.
Such agencies will discuss with your partner and yourself
all aspects of your relationship including finances,
sexual difficulties and issues of concern involving
your children.
One of the aims of counselling is to try to save your
relationship where it is under stress or to establish
a reconciliation where the relationship has broken down.
Another may be to explore whether there is any basis
for continuing with the relationship, and if so what
has to happen to make this possible. Not uncommonly,
a couple may disagree about the future of their relationship:
one wishing to end it and the other to continue it.
Counselling may assist them to come to their own conclusion,
whether this proves to be preserving the relationship
or bringing it to an end.
Mediation does not aim to save the relationship but
instead seeks to reduce bitterness and help the parties
reach an amicable agreement rather than reverting to
the Courts for assistance with the consequences of the
relationships breakdown.
