Nicola came to see Trish a month ago. She was unhappy, troubled and her life was in a rut.
Her relationship with her partner had become difficult. Communication between them had been slowly deteriorating over the last seven years.
Her family life was busy and they rarely spent time together. She wanted change but didn’t know how to resolve their difficulties with each other. Nicola thought the only way forward would have to be divorce. She was deeply upset by the thought of this but felt there was no other solution.
The fear she had was that to confront the situation would lead to this happening and she had been wrestling with this dilemma for some time.
With my help and guidance and taking time out for herself, she was able to explore more deeply what it was she wanted from her life. How she could make things change, and to feel empowered to have a happier life.
We met for six sessions and throughout this time with me the answers to her problems were discovered inside herself.
Nicola found the courage to make the change and spoke openly to her partner.
Just bringing all of this out into the open helped her feel empowered and she knew change could happen. The problems between them were much easier to resolve than she could possibly have imagined. She now no longer fears confrontation and it has taken their relationship to a new level.
They are still together and living a much happier life for their family and also for themselves.
