Tips for Relationships
Be willing to invest quality time, energy and focus on the relationship.
Communicate what you feel, as well as what you think.
Don’t be afraid of disagreement – see it as a way to grow the relationship.
Enrich the relationship with outside interests.
We met Margaret at a difficult time in our relationship when we needed a counsellor in order to speak openly. She helped us explore our issues, gave us strategies to try, got us talking again and slowly reconnecting.
Margaret takes time to listen, understand and to approach problems as challenges that can be overcome.
She is a true blessing! (R & P Brisbane)

All couples have arguments, but some argue about the same thing or bring up the same issue in every argument and they never seem able to resolve it. This is an indicator you need to seek counselling.
Sometimes the passion, or the romance, the love gets lost and needs to be ignited.
During the first session, it is important that we all get to know each other in order for us to work together effectively. It is a very important session. The sessions thereafter are about looking at your communication and your love languages.
I do not see you individually, so there are no secrets between any of us and at the same time you can be open and honest and any ‘surprises’ can be dealt with there and then.
During each session, I use a number of different counselling techniques.
Some include:
- Couple-focused Therapy
- Strength-based Therapy
- Solution-focused Therapy
- Love Language Therapy
Typical Issues that bring a couple to therapy include:
- Arguments that go round and round and are never resolved
- Love and passion have been lost
- The relationship has become boring
- Infidelity and trust issues have arisen
- A last attempt to solve issues before separating.
