Condition Guide
Relationships
Communicate clearly, repair trust, and feel safer in connection.
Overview
Relationship difficulties can affect wellbeing, but conflict, loneliness, or uncertainty are not diagnoses. People may seek support for recurring arguments, loss of trust, changing family roles, communication problems, separation, or feeling unsafe or unheard. Counselling can help clarify patterns and choices, but it cannot determine who is right or guarantee a relationship will continue. If there is coercion, threats, stalking, violence, or fear for your safety, prioritise a safety plan and specialist local support rather than couples work that could increase risk.
Important medical informationThe signs on this page can have different causes. Only a qualified health professional can assess or diagnose you. Do not start, stop, or change prescribed treatment based on this guide.
How Therapy Helps
The right format depends on the concern and on everyone’s safety and consent. Individual therapy can support boundaries, grief, decision-making, and communication. Couples or family work may help participants practise listening, describe needs without blame, and repair repeated conflict patterns, when it is clinically appropriate. Therapists should screen for safety and should not pressure anyone to disclose, forgive, reconcile, or remain in a harmful relationship. You can seek individual support even if the other person does not want therapy.
