Having been professional counsellors and psychotherapists since 2006 and 2007 respectively, both Carlos and Suzanne are highly qualified, experienced, and skilled, and are dedicated to providing the quality and effective services to their clients.
Anger Management
Anger issues are one of the most common issues that people face within their families and relationships and their workplaces. Anger sufferers quite commonly destroy their relationships, families and careers and can find themselves in court or prison for their behaviours. However, given skill and dedication, Anger issues are permanently resolvable. No need to live in shame or be vilified by yourself or others. One can overcome Anger issues and live a happy and productive life without limping from one destroyed relationship to another.
Sadly, however, many therapists who claim to be able to help anger sufferers resolve their issues have no such ability. Most of them recycle old ineffectual ideas training people to use tired tools that do not work. The notion of being able to reliably and usefully deploy tools to overcome anger issues is reduculous and eventually will inevitably fail leaving the anger sufferer feeling helpless believing that their anger will never be resolved.
Real, effective Anger Management is in fact not Management at all but instead Resolution. Rather than managing symptoms or outbreaks, the only way to properly and sustainably overcome Anger issues is to resolve them so that they never happen.

Couple Counselling
Sadly, there is an embarrassing truth about Couple Counselling that anyone who wishes to engage with a Couple Counsellor to improve their relationship should be aware. The statics for the success rates of Couple Counselling or Marriage Counselling are at best awful and at worse diabolical. While this may seem in principle like a terrible inditement of Couple Counselling as a whole, it is not. The problem relates to two things. The first, which is of low impact but often blamed for the problem and the second which is the real culprit. Firstly, often couples go to counselling often as a last resort or when their situation has become extremely difficult or untenable and thus a counsellor may account for their failure by attributing it to lateness. However, while this may present like a good excuse for the statistics, it is not. Yes, it may have an effect, and an earlier arrival may be preferable, but given a decent couple’s or marriage counsellor and willing and determined clients, it will not present such a great obstacle to efficacy.
Secondly, the real issue with couple counselling is the counsellors! While this seems harsh and rather damming of a whole profession. In reality, in all professions there are those that are skilled, proficient and excellent and there are those that are not. In couple and marriage counselling there are more of the latter than the former. Building and maintaining healthy relationships is difficult and requires skill. Skills that the majority of therapists do not have. The simple proof of this is, ask the therapist if they are in a long term successful and stable relationship. Ask them, how many times they have been divorced or crashed out of relationships. How many therapists are not in relationships? The principle is simple: ‘Healer, heal thyself’. If the counsellor cannot build a healthy sustainable relationship for themselves and all that entails…. How are they going to be able to help you?
A therapist, to help an alcoholic, does not need to have been an alcoholic themselves, in fact it is preferable that they have not. However, with regard to relationships. Human beings naturally live in relationships and form many different types of relationships. It is a basic part of being human. A Couple Counsellor unable to perform this basic human requirement for themselves, has problems.
Conversely, Suzanne and Carlos have been together since 2000 and live in a happy and healthy marriage despite them being together for most of the time. They truly understand what it takes to build a sustainable happy and healthy relationship… Perhaps they can help you.
