However, conscious relationships simply cannot survive without being able to communicate in an open, honest and authentic way. If you are struggling with communication in your relationship, relationship mentoring with Viola Edward can help you to bring attention and awareness to your communication, and in turn, learn to really listen and hear each other. This deep and healing work can also help you have the difficult conversations you may have been avoiding and practice sharing from the heart without fear, ego or anger.

Lending this same expertise to her work with romantic partners, Viola creates a safe space for her clients to discuss healthy sexuality and intimacy, helping them to overcome issues, inhibitions, or traumas, reignite their spark and find joy and pleasure in their intimate and sexual relationship.

·?????????Unlearn Old Harmful Behaviours and Patterns:?As humans, we carry around heavy baggage from previous relationships or experiences lived throughout our lives. These in turn can create behaviour patterns that are not always healthy for our loving relationships. Together with?Viola’s gentle encouragement and knowledge, couples are encouraged to explore the roots of these behaviours and unlearn damaging habits such as blame and power games, or manipulation, jealousy and control, allowing them to expand together into a more conscious and loving mutual relationship.?

This doesn’t have to mean the end of the story for you and your loved one. Through open communication and reconnecting with both your partner and yourself, joint talking sessions with a professional can offer a safe place to start for couples who are willing to try and heal from the pain caused by an affair or betrayal, while also being open to understanding what caused it in the first place.

?·?????????Help with Equal Distribution of Household Duties:?Do you find yourself doing more housework than your partner? One of the most common issues in relationships and marriages is the distribution of household duties and responsibilities. One person often ends up taking on the lion’s share of these tasks – on top of jobs and childcare – and this can lead to hurt, blame and resentment. Through couples therapy, these emotions can be unpacked and communicated efficiently. With Viola, couples will also have the space to explore collective qualities and talents and answer the question: ‘how to share household tasks with my partner?’
