  • Is Your Relationship in Crisis? How to tell if you need Couples Therapy?

    • Does your marriage lack the intimacy, closeness and passion that it once had?
    • Do you feel unappreciated and taken for granted by your spouse?
    • Do you feel as though you see things from two completely different viewpoints, and are constantly arguing as a result?
    • Do you feel invisible to your spouse, ignored and unheard?
    • Do you feel unable to communicate your feelings properly, because whenever you do, it always results in another row, or emotional withdrawal?
    • Does your relationship lack an emotional connection?
    • Do you feel unloved, insecure and no longer appreciated?
    • Do you have mounting resentments and feel constantly disappointed with your partner?
    • Do you feel as though you’re “living alone together”, no longer connected like you once were?
    • Do you feel that you have lost a sense of who you are in the relationship?
    • Has your relationship lost the passion and attraction it once had?
    • Have you lost respect for your spouse, or do you worry that they’ve lost respect for you?

  • If you answered “YES” to five or more of these questions, then it’s important to discover the reason for your communication and connection failing in your marriage/relationship, and the tools you need to rebuild it.

    The fact is, couples are often unaware of why this distance has grown between them. They’re unsure how to meet their partner’s needs, which can result in a lack of communication, empathy, mutual respect and appreciation.

  • We were on the verge of breaking up after a 12 year marriage. Helen gave us the tools to understand each other. We now know that we were emotionally disconnected and didn’t listen or respect one another. Now we are much closer and happier; even the passion and intimacy has returned! We are eternally grateful for your help.

  • How Will Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy Help You?

    With more than 26 years’ experience as a Couple’s Therapist, Marriage Counsellor, Relationship Therapist and Couple’s Coach, Helen Mia’s expertise lies in helping couples to re-examine the way they “handle” their problems, rather than focusing on the problems themselves.

    Typically, both parties will believe that they are right, and the other is wrong, which subsequently leads to continued and repetitive arguments, followed by a lack of communication, distancing and often avoidant behaviour.

    During these sessions, marriage coach and expert relationship counsellor Helen Mia Harris encourages both parties to speak openly, and most importantly, to hear each other’s voice and version of events, possibly for the first time. As a result, you will finally be able to see the true nature of the relationship, the “dynamics” at work, and what might be hindering closeness and emotional intimacy.

    By allowing both parties to be heard and understood, Helen Mia opens the door to real and honest communication, enabling couples to finally end the vicious cycle of pregnant silences, conflict, indifference and resentment that can impact so many marriages, and instead build a path towards healthy communication, deeper connection, empathy, respect, trust, and a mutually loving, happy relationship.

Helen Mia works with sensitivity, care and attentiveness and after only one or two sessions with her, you will experience a tangible difference to any tender issue and see a way forward.

    These sessions can be helpful when experiencing heartbreak, rejection, abandonment, insecurity, love and loss, separation anxiety, emotional trauma and marital difficulties.
