Family & Couples Therapy

Connect Counselling and Psychotherapy honours the fundamental need of all human beings; that is to find relational fulfilment, understanding our connection with others and with ourselves. We aim to help those who struggle with the many challenges we face in life and in our closer relationships; from frequent miscommunication, to negative attitudes, rigid mindsets and difficult emotions. Sometimes, the hurt and pain we receive can make us lose hope, and enriching and nourishing relationships can seem so far away. In very evident ways, relational struggles deeply impact our moods and emotions. Anxiety and depression are two very common results, in turn blocking our openness and enjoyment of life. Yet, when you choose to travel with a highly trained and caring professional partner, we can turn such setbacks into a liberating journey. Connect deeply believes in partnering with you in this journey of explorative solution-finding. We walk together to bring about practical insights and useful actions. Such a journey can bring about more than just solutions to problems – it can yield a state of realization, that life can be wonderful. Dr Richard Lim Clinical Director

THE MORE SECURE AND CONFIDENT YOU ARE,   THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE HAPPIER WITH YOURSELF AND  THE MORE YOU CAN CONNECT WITH OTHERS We know that love is, in actuality, the pinnacle of evolution, the most compelling survival mechanism of the human species. Love drives us to bond emotionally with a precious few others who offer us safe haven from the storms of life.  (Dr. Sue Johnson) A relationship is like a dance. Only when the floor and footings are secure, that you are carefree to connect and dance through the highs and lows of life, through a lifetime.
