When it comes to relationships, we can be conditioned to struggle through our challenges alone. To seek support from a professional who can help us forge a clear way ahead through the rough patch may be the last thing we consider. I wonder just how many partnerships might be saved if help was enlisted from a professional relationship therapist, that is a vital role through which space for peaceful, meaningful communication, where both parties feel heard and can express without judgment is created.

Recently, I had a lovely chat with relationship counselor, Marion Hanson, who joined me on The Coaching Lounge Podcast.

As well as discussing some situations that cause problems in relationships, we discussed:

• What communicating with an agenda really means.

• Approaches to take that can cultivate a relationship.

• Whether a relationship can ever survive an affair.

• What single men and women should do if they are seeking a partner.
