COUPLES COUNSELLING MELBOURNE

Couples come to see me for a variety of reasons, which can include, though are not limited to:

Communication difficulties and dysfunctions
Sexual and/or Intimacy problems
Past or Current Infidelities and Affairs
An absence of desire and satisfaction in the relationship
Conflicting beliefs and values

Past relationships that cause problems in current relationship.

I take each couple I see as the singular and unique relationship that it is and help the couple to work through their unique concerns and fears together in a safe and trusting environment for them both.

Couples Counselling Melbourne

Is Couples Counselling right for our relationship?

One of the biggest challenges in the field of couples counseling is that couples can delay and postpone looking for help for their relationship and this doesn’t have to be the case.

Although there is a lot of resources and skills out in the world to help couples in their relationships, sometimes the best advice and ‘tools’ aren’t enough for a real change to occur.

Couples counselling can be very helpful and useful for relationships in all stages, whether it is a new relationship, pre-martial, newly married or post-separation. In each unique case, the process itself can be a one that can enliven and help both individuals to help make the relationship what they desire it to be.

My Therapeutic Approach

I use a non-directive, supportive and empathic approach to encourage individuals to speak freely as possible about what is on their minds and through this process, we maybe lead to look at the many different areas and aspects of your life in which difficulties and problems emerge.

Together we can explore all the aspects of your experience in the world in an intimate and supportive way, including your difficulties, fears, desires, dreams, relationships and concerns. Working together to explore and understand your experience is a healing process that can help you rework the way you relate to yourself, your personal history and your personal relationships in the world.

The therapeutic relationship that develops during our work together can help you to make deep and long lasting internal transformations. These can assist you to have more fulfilling relationships, make more effective use of your talents and abilities, tolerate a wider range of emotions, have more satisfying sexual experiences, understand yourself and others in more nuanced and sophisticated ways, and face life’s challenges with greater freedom and flexibility.

REVIEWS OF PAUL REID THERAPIST IN MELBOURNE

‘As most people would, I was scared and apprehensive about taking the first steps to counselling, but soon was in a trusting frame of mind and Paul and I developed a great professional and friendly relationship. I can say with confidence that my day-to-day situations have now become easier to handle, with the help provided by Paul’

‘Paul helped me to delve further into the dilemmas I had been dealing with for a while and his insightful approach helped me to help myself in a way that helped me make better choices for myself’

“After going through the counselling process with Paul, the changes in my life and relationships have been remarkable. Although it was difficult to confront the problems I was facing and I had put it off for many years, with Paul’s help I have been able to get past these and learn from those experiences and face them with a new outlook and self-understanding”

“I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking about going to therapy to work with Paul to help them through even the most difficult of times and troubles, as his ability to work with you patiently and empathically will be of great benefit to your life”

“I have been attending sessions with Paul on a weekly basis and I have found that his listening skills and attention to detail are outstanding. It wasn’t long before I found myself comfortable and confident with sharing information with Paul, with his in-depth questions and ability to provide peace of mind"

“Like many people seeking professional help, I has seen other counsellors and therapist over the years but my experience with Paul was a more insightful and well-rounded experience. Having helped me through a very difficult period in my life, I was grateful for his expertise and experience"
