At the moment times are tough, like we have never seen before. In a stunningly short amount of time, life feels like it has turned upside down.
Most families are experiencing new pressures, which are understandably escalating the tension at home and at risk of creating cracks in even the most committed relationship.
With all the current external pressures, and the loss of established routines, it is easy to accidentally vent frustration at our partners. Especially as many of us and now unexpectedly at home with the kids, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the foreseeable future.
The current situation is not something we could have expected or planned for. It is normal to be distressed, especially wit the number of changes outside our control.
However, please remember, this will not last forever.
During this strange time, we can help you find new coping mechanisms, a better way of viewing new obstacles, and build a framework to overcome these new challenges.
No one deserves to suffer, and we want everyone to get through this as successfully as possible. Understand that it is a sign of strength to ask for help, and it may be the best path to help you start taking back control.
With 12 years training and over 30 years as a practicing family and couples counsellor, I am well placed to help during this time of uncertainty. I have made my services available online via video chat, and over the phone. Further, I have reduced my usual consultation fee by nearly 45% to help more people access this essential relationship and mental health service.
I hope I can assist more couples and families to come through this experience together, and build an even stronger relationship

The stakes are high for couples, their families, and for individuals who are experiencing difficulties.
There are two primary reasons why it is a good idea for one person to do some individual counselling, either when your partner is unable or unwilling to participate in counselling.
Our pre-marriage sessions are for couples who are wanting to prepare themselves as they go into marriage by learning the essential components of a successful life together.
If your marriage is in turmoil, and if you have previously tried counselling but it didn't sort things out.
If this feels like a final last effort to save your marriage, then the "Intensive Sessions" are exactly what you need.
Couples counselling via Video Calls, Skype or Mobile Phone is a convenient method to access counselling, or to maintain counselling while quarantined or hibernating during a health crisis, travelling or relocation to other cities, countries or rural and remote locations.
A family's patterns of behaviour and interaction with each other influences each member of the family and therefore the family as a whole.
If you only put a lot of effort into your relationship at the start, to get it into a healthy state, and then stop putting in after a while with the expectation that the relationship will remain healthy, you will end up in trouble.
