Marriage, Couple and Relationship Counselling in the Kettering and Corby Area.

“We were going through a rather difficult time in our marriage and I felt there was a real danger we would not pull through together and that we would drift apart. I felt a strong sense that we needed help to understand each other better and to reconnect. David helped us by giving us an opportunity to listen to each other, to take time out to sort out the issues. He gave us tools like ‘Active Listening’, ‘Relationship Skills Self-Evaluation’, ‘Love Languages’, ‘Myers-Briggs Psychometric Profile’, etc. As a consequence we are now stronger than ever. We understand and respect each other’s differences better and we have reconfirmed our love and commitment to each other. Seeing David really helped us. We continue to see David as an M.O.T. marriage check up every two months which is really helpful and gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we are doing as a couple. David has the skills experience and life insight to effectively assist couples through their marriage challenges.”

“I’m so grateful to David for the massive help he has been to me. Our time together has given me so much to think about and the tools to work on many things that have never before been shifted. It’s so good to have someone to talk to who comes from a different angle and helps you see things in a new light.”

"David. Just a small token to say, "Thank you," for all your help from the counselling. You've helped me to see things/my life in a much better light and helped me to see how lucky I am."

“Thanks to my counselling, I have managed to overcome my emotional problems in a way that I can deal with them. This means that I can now focus more on the future and am feeling less stressed and healthier. Thank you David!”

“We weren’t sure what to expect when we first embarked on marriage counselling, but David put us both at ease quickly and was constructive without being judgemental. Over a short space of time, David has given us the skills to communicate effectively within our marriage. This has meant that we have learned to appreciate each other’s differences and avoid major conflict – going forward in our relationship. David has introduced us to some simple techniques which have helped to save our marriage. If only we knew about them before!”

“I was put in touch with David through my social worker. We were having severe problems with our 9 year old adopted son. David counselled both myself and my husband through a very difficult time. He has a wonderful approach, full of kindness & understanding. The advice he gave us was consistently from the heart, yet totally practical and sensible. David has a huge experience of life and I feel he has helped us immeasurably and I imagine I shall continue to seek his advice wherever our path may lead.”

"David has given us the skills to move on in our marriage and the confidence that we will overcome any future problems with the skills he has taught us. Through careful listening and amazing insight, he was able to unravel hurts and misunderstandings going back many years. Our whole approach to each other has changed and we feel happier and closer than we have ever been. My husband had resisted my attempts to see a counsellor for years and embarked on it with no confidence of success. However he is now a convert and thrilled with the results. Thank you David – I wish we had found you years ago."

“I first went to see David during an emotionally challenging time in both my professional and private life. David’s kind and warm demeanour allowed and gave me the confidence and assurance to open up about issues that I had never previously been able to discuss. I cannot thank David enough for his support throughout this difficult time that has allowed me to look forward to my future with a positive outlook that I never thought possible before.”

"We contacted David to see if we could rescue our marriage from what seemed like a downward spiral that was only going to end in separation after around nineteen years and two children. David allowed to us explain our thoughts and feelings in a non-confrontational atmosphere, before then working with us to help get our marriage back on track. He helped us to be honest with ourselves and each other, helped to forgive and move on, whilst appreciating that over time relationships are affected by baggage collected on the way, but he has given us the tools to move forward positively. Most importantly, David has helped us to remember why we fell in love in the first place and to fall in love once more. Thank-you."
