For most of us, our personal relationships are where are our deepest feelings lie. Families engender such a wide range of emotions that it isn’t surprising that we often need help in this area. When a crisis flares, it’s best to seek help immediately, to prevent a series of damaging interactions from compounding the difficulty.

The many years Kathleen has spent counselling couples have given her the depth of understanding to see what is wrong and to know how to change it. She has helped couples work through a wide range of issues, including extramarital affairs, conflicting goals, problems with intimacy, disagreements over children and difficulties stemming from families of origin. She has also assisted couples in finding better complementarity when the partners are of differing personality types. In cases involving extramarital affairs, Kathleen can help everyone involved to resolve its negative effects.

Adult children have problems with their parents, and of course the reverse is also true. Adulthood may bring new dilemmas or bring to light old issues that have never been resolved. Caring for aging parents may place demands at a time in life when other stresses are already intense. Difficult conversations are often entailed in dealing with any relationship tensions. Difficult conversation coaching is a particular specialty of Kathleen’s.
