It has often been said, including by Werner Erhard, that people can't communicate because what they call communicaiton isn't communication at all; and they cannot manage relationships, because their definitions of relationship are naive and simplistic.  I can teach you how to communicate effectively with your loved ones, and to have great relationships at home and at work.

Couples therapy and family relationships

Jim.Nata.Couples.pg.jpgFamily is where we all begin our lives, and it is crucially important to ensure that the relationships we create for our children are the best possible start in their lives.  It is important to model good communications skills; negotiation of solutions instead of the use of aggression and verbal conflict.  It is also important to each of us to be in loving relationships in which we each get a chance to win, and a chance to support others in winning.  Loving relationships are about give and take.

If you are involved in an unhappy relationship, with parents, siblings, friends, peers, or with a marriage partner or lover, then I can help you to straighten out your communication, and to learn how to get rid of the destructive tendencies that bring a relationship down and produce misery in the lives of all involved.

Call me today, on 01422 843 629 (from inside the UK),

or 44 1422 843 629 (from outside the UK).

I can be consulted by telephone or email from any part of the world;

or face to face in Hebden Bridge or Halifax, West Yorkshire;

or in London, Leeds or Manchester;

or in Edinburgh, York or Wilmslow.

Relationships that are not worked on tend to spiral down into negativity, destructiveness or just plain indifference and drifting apart.  I can show you how to spiral your relationships upwards, which produces a win-win solution for all involved.  If you want some idea of how I work with couples on their problems, please take a look at this little video clip entitled 'Introdcution to Couples Therapy'

If you are involved in couple conflict, you might wonder what it could possibly look like to be in a counsellor's office, or working remotely with a counsellor, then the best I can do to help to illustrate that for you is to show you a couple of extracts from a video about solution focussed therapy.  Here it is:

If you would like a more extensive flavour of Marriage Guidance, or Couples Therapy, please take a look at 'Wonderland', a programme from the BBC which presents the words of clients undergoing counselling at Relate, while portraying them in cartoon form, in what is said to be Britain's first animated documentary film:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b0113fwl/

If you want to be able to create good relationships, to manage communication, including when conflict is unavoidable, then I can help you to develop the correct understanding and the appropriate skills.  You don't even have to take time out to come and see me at my office; and we never even have to meet.  We can work together over the telephone, and I can send you follow-up reading material, and you can email me with progress reports. 

On the other hand, if you want to meet face to face, I can set up an appointment to meet in Hebden Bridge or Halifax

Or we can meet in London, Leeds or Manchester.

Or in Edinburgh, York or Wilmslow.

In a short time you can develop high levels of communication and relationship skills, if you respond well to my coaching and counselling approach.

To set up an appointment, call me today on:

Telephone: 01422 843 629 (inside the UK)

Telephone: 44 1422 843 629 (outside the UK)

Or email me at: jim.byrne@abc-counselling.com

NEW SERVICE - Assessment and solution service for couples

Perhaps you are not ready to engage in counselling or therapy, face to face or by telephone, but you still want some help to understand what is wrong with the way you and your partner are relating to each other; and what you can do to change your relationship for the better.

I now offer an assessment service, which involves you in filling in three questionnaires and sending them back to me.  In addition, I ask you to specify some of the key problems in your relationship (in not more than two pages of typed text).  In return, I will assess your submissions and send you an analysis of your relationship or communication problems, and how to begin to correct them.

This service costs GBP £30.00, and can be purchased via ClickBank, a secure online marketplace that I have used for more than eleven years very successfully and securely.

Order your assessment and solution service today.

"A good starting point for effective communication is this: First seek to understand the other person; then to be understood by them.  Maintain respect for them, as you would want them to maintain their respect for you.  To relate powerfully with another, just give up making them wrong!  Stop blaming and criticizing.  Try assertive complaining about one or two of their behaviours, in the context of praising them for their good points; but do not identify THEM with their BEHAVIOUR!"  Dr Jim Byrne, January 2010
