If you're struggling with your relationships, know you're not alone; help is available.
Maybe you have found that your relationship is not working as well as you would like, and you want to improve it, well it’s simple to begin and can sometimes be fun when you’re both dedicated to the process.
It starts with being ready to be open and honest with yourself & partner; relationships go through ups and downs and take work, commitment, and a willingness to grow together. When relationships work well they allow you both to connect deeply and build long-lasting bonds.
When you sit down to talk with each other, be open to understanding different viewpoints and think about what you would like to gain from your conversation.

Is there a difference between being loved and feeling loved? When you feel loved, you should feel understood, accepted, emotionally content, and valued by your partner.
I have found that some couples hold on to their difficult thoughts and feelings for fear of damaging their relationship, but in reality, problems tend to thrive and grow in the dark, so it is often much better to talk about them in a safe neutral space.
The most productive counselling sessions tend to happen when people have an objective discussion with each other rather than just taking the opportunity to complain. The reality is we must be prepared to change ourselves, rather than just hope our partner will change to suit our needs.
