For couples, individuals and work-place relationships
My name is Paula Gardner and I am a coach, psychotherapist, and business pyschologist offering needs-based relationship support for couples, individuals, and workplaces. My work is grounded in evidence-based psychology, and focused on clarity, insight, and sustainable change, not quick fixes or surface-level advice.
When our core emotional needs aren’t being met (and these include emotional safety), relationships begin to strain. This is when you often get conflict, withdrawal, people-pleasing, and resentment.
By identifying our unmet needs and learning practical ways to fulfil them more effectively, our relationships can shift. This is true of every relationship from a romatic partnership, to parenting, to one within the workplace.
Signs you might benefit from needs-based relationship work are that you might be:
-
Constantly ruminating about a relationship
-
Recently single and unsure who you are any more
-
Living with levels of stress or anxiety that won’t come down however much yoga or meditation you do
-
Stuck in a pattern but unsure how to change it
-
Unsure if you are in a toxic relationship
-
Falling back on unhealthy habits because something doesn’t feel right
-
Feeling as though you are drifting apart but not sure what to do about it
