Setting a Solid Foundation

Ensuring we set a solid foundation for our marriage is vital. Many couples fail to discuss the many topics that will present as your life progresses. The worst thing to happen is to approach these things blind. When we don’t really know what our partner thinks or how they will respond, can often cause a situation that should be small to erupt into a major disaster. How can we prevent [...]

The reason this occurs is we may have tolerated our partner, their behaviour, family or friends and once the end of the year is upon us we reassess what the year has been like and often make a conscious decision to start the new year fresh.

Raising a teen can certainly be challenging at times. Why is it they suddenly seem moody, hysterical, throw dreadful tantrums, start being sneaky around us and exclude us from their lives? Is this the beautiful child I raised and what happened? How can I speak with or treat my teen so they stay calm, focused and friendly? How can I spend time with them so they don’t feel I am [...]

Lets Help Our Struggling Children

By |2015-12-15T13:55:08+00:00December 15th, 2015|Parenting, Relationships|

We have a sad literacy rate and many children struggle to learn. This is not the teachers’ fault but can be attributed to either the lack of educational pursuits from their parents or the way the child actually learns. I know many schoolteachers, as I am sure most of us do. Yes they do an amazing job and have to tolerate belligerent parents and defiant children almost every day yet [...]

While your friends and family mean well their actions [...]

Is Your Relationship Hard Work?

By |2015-12-15T13:55:08+00:00December 15th, 2015|Relationships|

Should you continue to ‘work’ on it? Marriage or a committed relationship should not be hard; it should be easy, loving and happy. Sure you hear all about needing to ‘work’ at the relationship but what does this mean exactly. I actually dislike the term ‘work’ on the relationship or ‘relationships take work’ and we hear this often. I believe those that say this have either not had a happy, [...]

Phone Phubbing Destroys Relationships

By |2015-12-15T13:55:08+00:00December 15th, 2015|Relationships|

Phone 'phubbing' is a new word to describe snubbing your partner by using your phone while ignoring them. Do you phone phubb your partner? When we ‘phubb’ someone, we are saying ‘You are not as important as what is going on on my phone’ and placing that person second to an inanimate object. It takes away the time we should be spending with our partner discussing their and your day and spending [...]

Don’t Drop Your Guard

By |2015-12-15T13:54:33+00:00December 15th, 2015|Relationships|

I have so many people come into Counselling also wanting Hypnotherapy to enable them to drop their guard after a failed relationship. They believe they are preventing themselves allowing another person to become close to them. Their friends have told them to drop their guard to allow others to enter into their personal world so they can start another relationship. I suggest they keep their guard up regardless of their [...]
