Relationships
Healthy relationships enhance wellbeing, from conception onwards. We enjoy nurturing expectant parents and encouraging bonding in pregnancy, just as we love supporting adolescents, business executives and grandparents.
We believe that relationship issues can play a part in numerous ailments; this includes unresolved issues from the past, as well as today's relationship dynamics. In our view, a healthy relationship can (and will) involve disgreement and upset because it allows honesty and clear communication, and also the possibility of repair and exciting growth.
We support individuals and frequently work with couples and families, and with business partners, with the goal of developing relationships that are fun and free of resentment.
Your doctor may talk to you about your relationships if you raise the issue, or perhaps if you have pain or recurrent symptoms that cannot be explained after thorough diagnosis (because when relationships are uncomfortable, pyhsical symptoms often surface - this is true for babies, children and adults). If there is a medical problem we will address this.
Viveka's 'Emo' (emotional support) team includes a personal and family therapist, Ann Herreboudt, a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, Carole Murraym and psychotherapist Kitty Hagenbach, all of whom have extensive experience supporting loving relationships. We are also very experienced at helping you to work more easily and happily with a difficult boss or colleague.
Complementary therapists offer a variety of techniques to help you to feel good about yourself and to find your voice, so you can communicate well where it matters. Our homeopaths, acupuncturists and reflexologists are very experienced and are here to support you as you and your relationships change.
Lifestyle advice may be very useful, especially if you need practical tips on lifting your self esteem, or making time to have fun with people you care about. Small steps often have big results, and may include exercise and altering your ‘work-life balance', introducing relaxation or meditation, and trying out new ways to be positive and keep relationships intimate and exciting.
