    Finding your ways of connecting with others, such that:

        • our intentions are understood
        • equity, participation & progress is experienced
        • the relationship is valued
       

                    can enrich the quality in your life.

         

    Complexity in relationships arises as individuals bring:

        • their personal history
        • their past experiences of relating, and
        • their expectations of immediate and long term outcomes 

    There is an intensity in relating to family members, work colleagues and close friends as:

        • You strive to be present and share your new thoughts and feelings with another
        • You offer your attention to hearing and responding to another
        • You endeavor to discover and establish “good will” habits and expectations of the relationship

            Important investments and feelings are likely to be present in such relationships.

     

    When each person brings such qualities to the meeting  -

                                     it is not surprising that people sometimes get lost, confused, frustrated and angry.

     

     

    We work with individuals and small groups to understand and manage what is happening in their relationships.

     

     

    We provide a safe and respectful environment where people are encouraged to:

      • Express their feelings, situation and interests in the relationship
      • Learn and practice ways of improving their relationships

    Our clients are

        • Families reviewing their caring relationships with ageing parents
        • Spouses undergoing changes in their life/work commitments
        • Supervisors wanting to establish new ways of relating to their staff.
