In relationship counselling both partners work with a counsellor to deal with problems that are affecting the relationship. These can include issues such as work, finances, children, family and emotional problems. Any type of relationship can benefit from relationship counselling, irrespective of marital status, age, sexual orientation or race. Sessions last an hour and normally take place once a week. There is no limit to the number of sessions - some couples only require a few weeks while others may stay for much longer. For futher information contact Maurice Tomkinson. Child and Young Person Counselling For many reasons it can be difficult for children, young people and sometimes adults to express in words what they are experiencing emotionally and physically. A natural and fun way of working on difficulties is through play. Mediums such as drawing, dough, sand, figures and games, can offer a gentle yet powerful way of releasing the inner turmoil and finding positive ways forward.
