Relationship
Check-Up
Just as you take your car in for a yearly MOT and service, have regular vet visits for your pet, or for yourself at the doctor, why not apply the same 'check-up' mentality to the health of your relationship?
​
As human beings, we often leave addressing problems until they have become so big that they are unbearable, or causing real difficulty in our day to day existence. In a relationship context this can lead to a 'make or break situation'. For that reason, I feel that preventative action is a much easier process for couples to undergo than trying to cure something that has already gone very wrong.
The relationship check-up is designed for exactly that purpose. Every relationship has its ups and downs, and if you find yourselves arguing a bit more than normal, or dealing with external pressures on your relationship, it can be useful to air concerns in a safe and non-judgemental environment before they escalate into a major falling-out.
Ongoing counselling to deal with a major problem usually requires a number of sessions over the medium to long term. In contrast, the 'check-up' process aims to be a short, focused piece of work ranging from a one off session, to a package of 3 sessions. Of course if there is a wish or need to extend our time together, then that is absolutely fine and we can discuss a way forward which meets both of your needs.
