A counsellor works with you on specific problems within the relationship, such as jealousy, infidelity or intimacy issues. They observe how a couple interacts, offering insight into the role of each partner. The counsellor then guides you in altering negative patterns of behaviour.

Creating new habits takes practice, so expect to be given exercises to do outside the clinic. These help integrate your new skills into everyday life.

Counselling for anxiety and depression

Therapy is always as individual as the client. Osteopathic centre Counselling employs a number of evidence-based therapies and will always work with the client to identify the best treatment approach for them. Counselling and psychotherapy are often used interchangeably and are both forms of talk therapy aimed at helping a client develop greater self-understanding and facilitate change. Counselling may be used to refer to shorter terms of therapy focusing more on immediate issues and wellbeing. Psychotherapy may be more long term and involve a deeper exploration of the past to develop deep insight and profound change.

Clients meet on a one-to-one basis with the counsellor, who listens and will use different techniques such Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology and mindfulness to help the clients make the personal change that will enable them to flourish.
