Non-Monogamy

Exploring Non-Monogamous Relationships

Non-monogamy refers to relationship structures that involve multiple romantic or sexual partners, with the knowledge and consent of all individuals involved. These relationships come in many forms, such as polyamory, open relationships, or relationship anarchy. While non-monogamous relationships can be fulfilling, they also require strong communication, trust, and boundary-setting to maintain healthy dynamics.

The Role of Counselling in Non-Monogamous Relationships

Therapy provides a supportive space for individuals and partners in non-monogamous relationships to navigate the unique challenges of their relationship structure. Counselling focuses on fostering open communication, building trust, and setting clear boundaries to ensure that all parties feel respected and valued.

Building Trust and Communication

One of the key aspects of non-monogamous relationships is maintaining trust and open communication. Therapy helps individuals and couples discuss their needs, desires, and boundaries openly, fostering a sense of security and mutual respect in the relationship.

Managing Jealousy and Emotional Challenges

Jealousy and emotional challenges can arise in non-monogamous relationships, just as in monogamous ones. Counselling helps individuals manage these emotions, develop emotional self-awareness, and create strategies for navigating complex relationship dynamics.

Paul Chantry

Integrative Counsellor MBACP

We often think that we can manage on our own, but there comes a point when we need to reach out and seek support. Perhaps you are feeling anxious or depressed? Maybe you are finding life overwhelming or have a sense of sadness, hopelessness and despair? Or maybe you are feeling angry and frustrated? If you are experiencing any of these emotions then counselling can really help you to make sense of things, better understand yourself, and overcome the issues which are causing you distress. I am a qualified counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I have experience of helping people who suffer with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, self-harm, relationship and family conflict.  If you’ve never had counselling before then finding the right therapist can be confusing and intimidating, so it’s important that you take time to find the right therapist for you. Please don't hesitate to contact me for a free initial telephone consultation so that I can find out a bit more about what's troubling you and we can explore how I can help.

Therapeutic Counsellor

Sometimes life is really hard. Everything feels like too much. We can get overwhelmed with guilt for not coping, shame for having failed in the past and sometimes we can end up not really liking ourselves very much. We might self medicate with substances or other behaviours which we know don't really help, but they seem better than nothing. But they just perpetuate the cycle. I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to organise and reframe those overwhelming feelings and see the wood for the trees. I can help you understand yourself better and to begin to look in the mirror and like what you see.

Integrative Counsellor

Thinking about starting counselling and looking for a counsellor, can feel daunting. So I warmly welcome you to my profile and hope that you get in touch to see if I am the right counsellor for you. There are many reasons why people seek counselling. Perhaps you are feeling lonely or disconnected from the people around you? Perhaps you would like to talk to someone about making changes in your life? Maybe you are feeling stuck, anxious or depressed, and would like a little extra support to help you through a difficult time? Perhaps you can't quite put your finger on what is wrong, and would like somewhere to express yourself and make sense of your thoughts and feelings?Whatever brings you to counselling, I will endeavour to offer you a confidential and safe space, where you can talk and explore all of your thoughts and feelings, and express them freely without judgement or opinion. Counselling can be useful in helping you to gain insight and a fresh perspective. It can help you to gain understanding about yourself and others, or help to make sense of a problematic situation. It can help you move towards acceptance, emotional freedom and healthy psychological growth.
