Making our way through life poses challenges for all of us. Whether it be the struggles of trying to understand our relationships with others or trying to get a clearer sense of ourselves as we grow through life, it can often help to talk things through with someone who is not closely involved in our day to day life. At Caladenia House we work with people from all walks of life who, for one reason or another, are feeling stuck, distressed or just curious about their experiences. Caladenia House is a place in which each person or couple can safely reflect on these experiences with the warm support of a counsellor such that new possibilities become clearer.

Relationships
In recognition of the importance that relationships play in our lives, we offer couple counselling as well as individual counseling.

Relationships can be both the most exciting as well as the most frustrating and distressing experiences in life. We generally begin intimate relationships with high hopes and warm expectations only to find ourselves struggling as time goes on. Having an opportunity to explore the essence of our relationships and of ourselves in relationships, can provide a space to more carefully explore what has become troubling to us. This work can be undertaken together with your partner or separately depending on your circumstances and wishes.

In our couples work, we do not hold a stance of actively trying to keep couples together or to encourage separation or to tell you how to run your lives, rather to provide a supported and safe opportunity for you to explore where things are at, what hopes and points of connection remain, what the future might hold. We can then support you and your partner in whatever pathway you choose as it unfolds.

We understand that relationships are living things that continually change and can take time to repair. Our trainees are able to walk with you through the twists and turns as you come to new understandings and impressions about what your future might hold. ”
