Fay Hanniker

As a Relate - trained counsellor I work with individuals and couples facing challenges in their relationships. Some of the people I work with feel 'stuck', unable to resolve recurring issues. Others feel they have fallen out of love.It may be that the relationship has hit a crisis point - for example struggling with the aftermath of an affair or one partner being ready to leave. I also work with individuals who are dealing with the end of a relationship. I have considerable experience of working with parents on minimising the impact of divorce/ separation on children.

Research shows that the relationship between counsellor and client(s) is crucial in effective counselling. My aim is to provide a safe space in which individuals or couples can make sense of the issues and difficult feelings they are experiencing. I see my role as being to support my clients in a non- judgemental way, to help them reach an informed decision about the future of their relationship.
