The importance of early intervention when it comes to sorting out relationship difficulties especially when they may be affecting others besides you and your partner, such as your children, can't be overstated. Disagreements between partners are rarely the problem. What is the problem is the inability to talk about your different viewpoints without turning that difference into a heated argument or a cold, silent stand-off.

How I work reflects who I am, who you are and how we relate. My view of it is that it requires of me as large a vision as I can hold of what it is to be a human being living in a particular place, at a particular time, with a particular life story. This means, above all, that you and I are more than our momentary, sometimes long-established symptoms, what we usually call our problems.
Highlands Counselling Launceston tries to make counselling affordable for anyone who feels they may benefit from it. Knowing the value of a thing, if it doesn't have a price tag, can be tricky. Knowing the value of myself or another person is impossible.
And yet, I believe, we often unthinkingly evaluate ourselves and others as if we did have a price-tag discreetly hanging from our collars accompanied by words like "good, successful, bad, failure, etc.".While such evaluations have a place in certain restricted situations, it's unhelpful at best when it comes to evaluating who we are.

It seems to me that one of the most fundamental questions many of us face these days is something like: "Is it possible to enter and sustain a relationship without losing my freedom?" If the answer could possibly be, yes, then, we want to know, "How do we do that?" It isn't terribly complex. Actually, it's rather simple.
Below is what some people have said about their experience at Highlands Counselling Launceston. I have been a client of David's for 2 years, and have found him to have a high degree of gentleness, respectfulness, sensitivity, sincerity and compassion. I have felt completely safe working with him, and have gained enormously in love and acceptance of myself.

Over a period of years I have been to Highlands Counselling with my partner when there were major difficulties in our relationship. in the past 12 months I have accepted that many of the issues have arisen because of my defensiveness and inability to be able to empathise with my partner under stressful conditions. Therefore I have started to work with David on an individual basis and I feel there has been great progress in my primary relationship. I can only speak highly of the way in which David works.

I had a brilliant session with David yesterday. I started the session in a tangle of turmoil regarding my relationship, and finished with a clear direction of a way forward. Davids way of being with me was highly appropriate, especially in regard to gently nudging me to find my own answers. Very highly recommended
