Relationship Counselling
“A relationship will break down over time without regular face-to-face communication.”
– Josephine Byrnes-Luna
Relationships Thrive when Communication Does
Relationships are a fundamental part of our lives. They may be with a partner, spouse, child, parent, sibling, another family member, friend, neighbour, work colleague, or anyone else who plays an important role in your life. Even our relationships with our pets can bring enormous comfort and meaning.
One philosophy has guided my work for many years. Healthy relationships rely on genuine, face to face communication. When communication becomes strained, misunderstood, or stops altogether, relationships can gradually become disconnected. Rebuilding communication is often the first step towards rebuilding the relationship.
Whether you are seeking support as an individual or attending together as a couple, I provide a respectful, impartial environment where each person has the opportunity to be heard. Together we explore the issues affecting your relationship, improve communication, gain a better understanding of one another, and work towards practical, meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
If you feel your relationship would benefit from guidance or support, I encourage you to seek assistance sooner rather than later. Small concerns addressed early can often prevent larger difficulties from developing and provide the opportunity to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
You can also download my Tips Towards Building Better Relationships.
I also recommend you download Relationships over a ‘Reason, Season or a Lifetime’. This is a lovely read and makes one think about any relationship and what it may mean.
“Josephine, we have found our experiences with you very rewarding, and as a direct result of the time we have spent with you, we have grown closer together instead of further apart. We have learned how to communicate more effectively; shift the focus from one to two, and from little things to big things. Had you not taken the time to work with us, we have no doubt that we would not be in the much happier place that we are today. We appreciate the fact that you are so flexible and that you have been able to shift gears as required to make these positive changes happen.”
