Relationship Therapy
Support for people who wish to improve communication and foster healthier relationships
Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Next Chapter Relationship Therapy Page
Building and maintaining healthy relationships with the people around you isn't always easy.
Tough experiences and differing priorities can mean relating becomes strained, less productive or non-existent.
Add to this the pain of bereavements, betrayals, stress, disappointed hopes and the constant distraction of balancing work / home commitments.
Relationships can become neglected and connections can feel distant or fractious.
At Next Chapter Matthew supports clients who wish to improve their relationships by opening channels of honest communication.
This allows clients the space and time to be heard. Relating more openly can help clients to explore their thoughts and feelings together and discover the right way forward.
Relationship therapy can be useful for:
- Couples in intimate relationships
- Engaged couples wanting to create a good foundation for commitment
- Family members
- Work colleagues
- Friends
