UNIQUE PEACE COUNSELLING

There’s a stigma that exists surrounding seeking outside help for relationships.
This stigma has prevented many couples/relationships from seeking outside help for their relationship that very well may have changed their relationship if they had simply been open to it.
At Unique Peace Counselling we have seen this happen time and time again, which is why we have decided to set the record straight!
We understand it can be intimidating having to make the decision to seek outside help from a couples counsellor.
We’ve assembled this simple guide to help you recognize signs that it may be time to make that crucial next step for your relationship’s overall health.
There is nothing wrong with seeking outside guidance for your relationship. It is brave in fact! Read more about how we can help you below.
Attachment insecurities are more often than not rooted in feelings of low self-esteem and fears of abandonment. Signs of attachment insecurities include an acute fear of abandonment, dependency and intrusive behaviours.
On the other side, it can manifest itself as extreme independence, which can make a partner feel like they are not a priority.
This is a common issue relationships face, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. If you or someone you know is feeling this way, it may be time to contact a couple/relationship counsellor.
One of the most common reasons why decide to attend couples therapy is when either one or both parties in the relationship notice a significant dip in communication and intimacy.
These two factors are major pillars in a relationship, and are important to receive support in.
You don’t need to wait until things are falling apart to seek out couples/relationship therapy. In fact, it is extremely healthy to check in with your partner at all stages of your relationship to ensure you are both on the same page.
The number one reason people attend counselling together is due to the trust in their relationship being broken.
Whether it be sexual infidelity, emotional affairs or constant lying about the state of their finances, a breach of trust can be a very difficult thing for a relationship to weather together without the help of an outside perspective.
A trained couples/relationship counsellor can help you start a dialogue surrounding the breach of trust, and create a safe space to share perspectives.
Built-up anger and resentment in relationships can cause fights that would otherwise never happen. This is why it is healthy to speak with a counsellor and maintain open communication with your partner so any feelings of anger towards them do not build-up to the “point of no return”.
If you notice that you and your partner are fighting a lot more than usual, take a moment to take stock of your relationship and decide if this is something that needs to be assessed and aided by outside help.
