Teenagers face unique challenges, and Judy Thomas provides a safe and supportive environment to help them develop self-awareness, self-confidence, and effective coping strategies. By addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem, Judy helps adolescents navigate this critical developmental stage.
Marriage and Relationship Counselling
Couples generally come for Relationship Counselling – often called Marriage Counselling – when they are experiencing communication breakdown, constant conflict, emotional regulation issues, infidelity, parenting differences, sexual incompatibility, or values conflicts. They usually feel unable to resolve their issues on their own.
- Are you and your partner repeating the same negative patterns and having the same arguments over and over again ?
- Do you struggle to communicate with one another or find that you are emotionally distant, lacking in fondness or respect ?
- Is your relationship in crisis or under significant stress?
- Would you like to be in a relationship where your partner understands your worries, stresses and to know what makes you feel happy?
Issues and conflicts arise when the couple are unable to find resolutions.
Couple counselling gives you and your partner the opportunity to restore your relationship and build a closer more satisfying future together.
