Communication difficulties

No one is born knowing how to communicate effectively, and the ever increasing distractions of the modern world may sometimes cause us to be less than fully present with ourselves and others. This can create distance and cause misunderstandings, loneliness and resentment in our close relationships.

We may also communicate differently, after all, we grew up in different family environments and were likely socialised differently as males and females.

Relationship counselling can help you and your partner to communicate more effectively by:

  • Helping figure out the obstacles that get In the way of understanding each other

  • Finding ways to make communicating a positive and exciting part of your relationship

  • Learning about the different styles of communication, and

  • determining which suits your relationship best.

  • Understanding each other’s needs and being able to discuss them respectfully

  • Understanding that communication is more than words - learn how body language, tone and actions all contribute to beneficial, fulfilling communication
