Relationships

At Invigorate Counselling realationships are seen as central to human existence.  The experiences of childhood play an important role in shaping who we are. The significant relationships of friends, mentors, family, intimate partners, and children, continue to reshape and impact our self-of-self.  Being able to communicate effectively, set appropriate boundaries, relate to one another emotionally and be responsive to other people's needs are crucial to having healthy, stable relationships.  Additionally balancing the desire for individual expression while simultaneously feeling a sense of belonging to others can be difficult to achieve.

​

Important exploration may include creating space for your growing child to become their own individual person.  Or developing a deeper level of intimacy and understanding with your partner.  Or accepting and supporting your family member with their personal expression and identity.  Or managing disagreements and conflicts effectively.
