Phil Yules

My name is Phil Yules and I am a fully qualified ‘Relate’ trained, relationship therapist for ‘Online Couples Counselling’. I hold a CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) ‘Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling’. Additonally, I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

I understand that difficulties can beset relationships, whether these are partner or family relationships. Couples often lose sight of each other within the complexities of modern living. I will help you to identify where your relationship currently is and how you got there. If you would like to change the course of your future relationship, I will help you to look at how you can reframe this.

The environment I create will be of mutual respect and understanding. I will not side with either one of you but instead, endeavour to provide the space where you both feel listened to and understood, initially by me and ultimately by each other. I will remain supportive and non-judgemental at all times. Our work will, of course, be confidential.

It is common for problems in a relationship to simmer or to be ignored leading to misunderstandings. This is often because we start assuming that we know what a partner is thinking, or they said something ‘in that way’. I will help you both to think about what is happening, or happens, for you individually alongside asking you to consider what happens between you. There is no quick-fix manual for relationship therapy. That’s because we are all different. Every individual is unique and therefore every couple’s relationship is unique. It is important to think about and respond to what is happening for you, which means that communication can improve between you.
