Our relationships play a huge part in our lives and impact on our wellbeing considerably. The relationships we have can either greatly enhance our lives or conversely, be detrimental to our wellbeing. When we enter into a romantic relationship, it can also bring up past attachment issues, self-esteem issues and self-doubt. Talking to a counsellor can help you to work through any issues concerning your previous or current relationship, or gain clarity about what you would like your future relationships to be like. Individual Relationship Therapy can also help you to develop a deeper connection with the person that you have the most important relationship with: yourself!
