Are you feeling unhappy in your relationship? Are you arguing about the same issues and unable to reach a solution? On average people wait 6 years before seeking help with a relationship problem. The longer the problem persists, the greater the resentment builds towards your partner. Seeking help can feel confronting. People are sometimes anxious because they don't know what will happen in couples counselling. Russell knows that this can be a very difficult time. If you could use some support Russell would like to help.
