Intimate relationships can offer comfort, support and fun, but are also sometimes a source of distress, frustration and despair. It is normal for there to be periods of natural highs and lows in attraction, energy and enthusiasm. However, many problems arise from factors such as work and financial pressures, or goals and expectations being different between partners. These are some of the areas in which we can make changes, which can boost relationship satisfaction and pave the way for new growth together. At Bulimba Psychology we believe that, given the right tools and skills, each partner in a relationship has their best chance at development, and for the relationship to once again be a source of satisfaction and life enhancement. This can mean a strengthened bond between partners, with a renewed sense of optimism and a greater resilience with which to meet future challenges.
No relationship stays the same; but with greater skill and understanding, many relationships become strengthened as they grow to adapt to life’s challenges. If you feel that your relationship has moved from a state of cooperation and enjoyment of each other, to a stalemate characterized by conflict or loss of desire, you may benefit from consultation with one of our counselling psychologists.
