relationship counselling - what does it mean?
Relationship issues can occur in any kind of relationship and are not restricted only to 'intimate relationships'. In our life we form relationship not only to people but also to places and things. All these relationships have to be taken into consideration if the therapeutic development demands it.
Nathalie specialises in 'relationship related issues'. These issues can be looked at both in individual and in couple's sessions.
couples counselling
What is the idea?
The idea of Couples Counselling is to work with a trained and objective third party who will listen to both partners as they express their thoughts and feelings and help them identify and clarify problem areas.
What is the aim of the therapy?
The overall aim is about helping both partners to become happier and more actualized human beings. Both partners will find out what they want out of a relationship. The continuation or resolving of the relationship will be determined through that process.
What will we do?
The couples therapy model will be the following:
• First session: both partners (90 min)
We will start by assessing:
- the problems and how both partners see them
- the history of the relationship
- the individual histories of the partners
• Following sessions: each partner separately (~2-3 sessions 60 min - 90min)
- working on elements that concern each partner
- collecting unfulfilled strategies (attraction, love strategies)
- cleaning up relationship criteria that no longer serve (NRT)
- cleaning up negative anchoring (anchoring)
- communication strategies
• Couple session: both partners (90 min)
- understanding communication
- exercises
• Single sessions: each partner separately (~2-3 sessions 60 min - 90 min)
- teaching the other persons strategies
- anchoring positive states, teaching anchoring
• Couple session: both partners (90 min)
- re-evaluation of the progress
Additional individual or couple's sessions will be added depending on the progress.
