Couples counselling can lead to better understanding and communication

Living in a relationship where autism/ADHD is present can be difficult for both partners and many couples can end up feeling desperate and may consider ending their relationship.

Common issues which bring couples to therapy include;-

  • Challenges with communication
  • Difficulty socialising with friends and family
  • Problems around intimacy and emotional connection
  • Lack of agreement on parenting styles
  • Inability to effectively juggle all the demands of work, relationships, financial responsibilities, and family life.

Working with a couple’s therapist who has developed the skills to specifically work with neurodivergent relationships, can help couples to develop a much better understanding of each other’s needs and facilitate improved communication. This can then lead to the creation of greater relational depth and future happiness.

Please see the links below to the Associates Profiles page to find an appropriate counsellor, also note Deborah and Ruth also offer couples counselling.

If you send an enquiry to your chosen practitioner and do not hear back within a couple of days, please check your ‘junk mail’ as sometimes their replies go into your spam as they are coming directly from their own email accounts.
