Such foundations promote healing, growth and transformation for greater self-belief and personal efficacy in addressing issues (vs willpower-driven-behavioural-change, strategic approaches, and over-reliance on medication). Healthy relationships are about deep awareness (of self and others), intimacy, connectedness and mutual development: which in turn drives what (and how) you communicate, and how you behave (spontaneously and genuinely).
I'm a Masters qualified Counsellor running a private practice and working part-time in post-suicide support. In general I see counselling as a collaborative process to develop strategies, knowledge and skills for immediate concerns and future goals. A process that's less about 'fixing' and more about personal healing, transformation and flourishing.

When things start going wrong in life, a common question people ask themselves is "what's wrong with me?" In relationships, it fluctuates between that and "what's wrong with you?" We seem to bounce between the two - looking for fault in ourselves, or placing it on others (or circumstance). But in modern psychotherapy we pay close attention to words and common assumptions around them - like 'wrong'.
Of course, I realise you may be reading this because of relationship pain. That's the flip-side of joy and deep satisfaction being found in relationships; when they fail or start to dismantle - it really hurts! For better or worse (as most therapists will tell you) relationships are both the cause and cure of many people's problems.
