 Lyndel’s experience as a registered psychologist has included such areas as anxiety and panic attacks, depression, addiction, abandonment, anger, grief, guilt and shame, jealousy, stress and trauma, infidelity, mood swings, low self-esteem and insecurity, sexual abuse, insomnia, severe mental illness, eating disorders, physical, sexual or verbal abuse and trauma.

Our ever increasing divorce rate is clear evidence of how ill-prepared many of us are for creating and maintaining successful adult love relationships.  As a relationship’s therapist, Lyndel understands that most couples either don’t want their relationship to end or be reasonably sure that they have done everything in their power, to honestly and constructively to make it work.  While relationship satisfaction generally declines steadily rather than in one big jump, there may also be a point of no return in this decline after which it is not possible to rebuild the relationship.  This is perhaps due to one or both partner having lost faith in the relationship or lost trust in the partner and/or the relationship.  The realistic choice for couples who reach this point maybe to separate.

However, this is where a well-trained professional can help.  It is particularly difficult for couples who fight a lot or who don’t talk at all, to identify and resolve the real issues of concern and make the changes necessary to improve their relationship.  Often times, one or both partner may be being influenced unrealistic expectations and attitudes about relationships, themselves or their partner which is creating undue stress on the relationship and preventing the relationship from becoming all that it could be…satisfying and enriching.
