Marriage (Relationship) Counselling www.christchurchtherapeutic.co.nz

Campbell from Hoon Hay

It's generally felt that most couples wait 7 years too long before seeking help with their relationship struggles!

Do you two need help now?

Communication, is nearly always at the heart of relationship difficulties. When we can't get past our unmet needs, defensiveness and old hurts it is very hard to trust and feel safe with our partner or spouse. A big part of my work with couples is to slow down both the speaking and listening to each other, in order to really get to grips with the core issues so that trust and safety may be repaired.

Just as we service our cars, so we can service our relationships by paying attention to the parts that are not working as well as we would like. It takes courage to turn up for couple counselling – nearly all of us prefer to keep the un-ideal parts of our lives for the privacy of our own homes. But it's like anything of value – we will only get out of it what we are prepared to put into it. So if you know your key relationship is not what you want it to be, give me a call or make an appointment and we can talk through how I can support you.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
