Is your child experiencing distress? At South Downs Counselling & Mediation Practice we have experienced therapists who specialise in helping younger children aged 10 and under who often struggle to find words to describe their feelings.

Creative therapy allows children to explore their thoughts and feelings in a way that is most comfortable for them and can prove to be a powerful therapeutic tool. Over time in a comfortable and safe space, the child is able to open up, for instance through their art or role play, and as a result can better understand and cope with their feelings.

Asking 10 critical questions before starting a serious relationship can help couples thrive

Researchers at Exeter University have put together a list of questions to consider as you begin a new relationship.
Long-term relationships last when they are built on friendship, respect, realistic expectations, shared interests and humour. Evidence from couples, as well family lawyers, mediators and judges has helped identify the ten key aspects of a relationship which other couples can use to reflect on to see if they are likely to thrive and stand the test of time. Continuing to ask the ten critical questions can also help couples build their relationship.

* Are my partner and I a ‘good fit’?
* Do we have a strong basis of friendship?
* Do we want the same things in our relationship and out of life?
* Are our expectations realistic?
* Do we generally see the best in each other?
* Do we both work at keeping our relationship vibrant?
* Do we both feel we can discuss things freely and raise issues with each other?
* Are we both committed to working through hard times?
* When we face stressful circumstances would we pull together to get through it?
* Do we each have supportive others around us?
