Relationships frequently encounter difficulties.

They often occur at times of stress or life changes in the couple relationship or in the family.

An example would be when planning to have children or when someone is ill, or even financial stress or job changes.


All couples in crisis including those in lesbian and gay relationships may be anxious to find support in a non-judgmental setting.


Other issues arising in on-going and committed relationships may have to do with anxieties relating to dependency and intimacy or communication difficulties.


Meeting with couple therapists can provide a safe and containing space for couples to explore these and other issues relating to their problems.
