Enhance your relationship with couples counselling
A relationship does not have to be troubled in order to benefit from couples counselling. Every relationship has its challenges, and a third party perspective from a trained psychologist can give you and your partner a greater understanding of how to reduce conflict, generate optimum resolution and overall, increase the quality and strength of your bond.

Above all else, Ruane’s approach to counselling focuses on understanding and compassion. Ruane will work with you and your partner to strengthen your relationship and devise strategies for conflict management, greater intimacy and clearer communication (using methods drawn from a range of proven psychology models).
