Online Relationship Counselling for Individuals
Healthy relationships are good for us
Our relationships with others can be one of our greatest sources of pleasure. Healthy relationships contribute significantly to good mental health and well-being across our whole lives.
Sometimes relationships don’t go as well as we would like and can cause feelings of distress.
Dealing with difficult relationships can result in increased feelings of anxiety, stress and depression. Sometimes it feels like we are having the same discussions with others about the same problems with no end in sight.
When relationships aren’t going well it often helps to turn to family and friends for support and advice. Sometimes, though, the problems seem overwhelming, and that’s when online relationship counselling can help.
The relationship may involve:
- a partner, husband or wife;
- a family member (e.g., parent, child, sibling, in-law);
- a work colleague; or
- friend.
