Further Information

For You - If You Are Coming Alone or With Another

What do you want and why have you not got it?
- NLP and Hypnotherapy are advanced therapies for deep human change. Through NLP and Hypnotherapy we work directly with your unconscious landscape of thoughts, feelings and memories and resolve underlying issues very quickly.
- By working with the unconscious, NLP, Hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy helps you come to terms with the past, gain greater understanding and make peace with yourself.
- This leads to significant changes to your behaviour and habits on a day to day basis, and by changing these you will quickly notice people treating you differently and that you get different results.

What kinds of problems do COUPLES usually bring to Essentia Counselling and Psychotherapy?
- People seek therapy for a range of problems and every couple is different. Some of the most common complaints include lack of communication, frequent or constant arguments, unfulfilled emotional needs, financial concerns, previous relationships and conflicts about children.
- You may be wondering why these problems sound like common issues that many couples resolve without professional help.
- Couples often seek help from me not because your problems are different from those of other couples, but because you may be unable to resolve them. Sometimes, this is because of a build up of frustration and disappointment over time, or there is some other issue or meaning underlying the conflict. Other couples see me as a result of a crisis in the relationship, such as an affair or apparent loss of affection and caring, or a traumatic event, such as an illness or loss in the family.

How can Couples’ and Relationship Counselling help you?
- Intimate relationships, if they are working well, can sustain us through the difficulties and crises that accompany everyone’s life at one time or another. Making an intimate relationship work is no easy matter. Couples too often feel frustrated and helpless and when each one’s needs and concerns clash and when hurt turns to pain counselling can offer a clearer solution.
