Clear and honest communication is a vital relationship skill, and one that a lot of folks struggle with.
I notice that most of my relationship counselling clients can easily identify their needs, but get stuck on how to express them to a partner, friend or family member.
This often leads them to suppressing their needs, hoping the other person will guess what they want, or behaving in ways that attempt to manipulate the other person into giving them what they want.
This breeds dissatisfaction, resentment and shame.
I can help you find ways to express your needs honestly, in a way that's likely to be heard and accepted. I can also help you to work on fears around rejection, embarrassment or being "too much" that might be getting in the way of asking for what you want.
