Relationship & Interpersonal Issues: When connection turns complicated

Problems between people do not stay in one corner of life. They show up at home, at work, with family, with friends and in the spaces in between. You might find yourself pursuing then withdrawing, fixing then resenting, pleasing then exploding. Maybe you shut down to keep the peace or take on more than is fair. The pattern repeats across partners, friendships, teams, and projects, and you are tired of it.

All at The Village Clinic we understand that these struggles often overlap with anxiety and depression or appear during periods of burnout, when the nervous system is already stretched thin. If you’re wondering what to expect before starting, see our Fees and learn how to begin with our Getting Started guide.

In plain terms:

Interpersonal difficulties are not only about the other person. They are about how your history, expectations and nervous system meet theirs. A text can feel like a threat. A meeting can feel like a test. Old stories about being too much or not enough get triggered and conversations spiral.

Typical signs include:

Arguments that recycle despite good intentions
People-pleasing, resentment or keeping score
Walking on eggshells or stonewalling to avoid conflict
Oversharing, overexplaining or going silent
Struggling to set or hold boundaries at home or at work
Choosing familiar but painful dynamics across relationships
Loneliness inside a relationship, or fear of trusting new ones
Work stress driven by unclear roles, power dynamics or team conflict

Interpersonal & Relationship Therapy That Goes Deeper

Good relationships support wellbeing. Difficult ones drain it. Therapy gives you a steady place to map what happens between you and others, practise different responses and rebuild confidence (NHS, Relate). We work with individuals on personal and professional relationships.

Therapy Provides Space To:

Map your pattern across contexts: pursue/withdraw, fix/resent, please/explode, or shut down
Listen for the emotional need underlying criticism, anger or silence
Build boundaries that hold without guilt, revenge or second-guessing
Communicate for repair, not just to win the point
Choose differently so the next chapter is not a repeat of the last
Navigate change such as breakup, divorce, separation or co-parenting with steadiness
Work dilemmas with managers, colleagues or co-founders where roles and power matter
Include context such as culture, family responsibilities and neurodiversity

Our approach

We work relationally and integratively. There is no script. Together we will:

Slow things down so triggers can be noticed before they run the show
Trace how earlier experiences shape current expectations and fears
Work with the body as well as words so your system can stand down
Rehearse clearer requests, limits and repairs you can use outside sessions
Keep changes small and workable, aligned with your values and constraints

Do you see couples?

We work with individuals on their relationship patterns. If you need couples counselling, we can suggest specialist services.

I am a single and worried this means I’m failing

Therapy isn’t only for people in relationships. We often begin with the relationship you have with yourself and how it shapes the way you connect with others – at work and in private settings.

I can’t get over a breakup

The end of a relationship can be deeply painful. Therapy gives you space to process the loss, understand what the relationship meant to you, and begin to find a way forward.

My friends say I have commitment issues.

Commitment struggles are common. Therapy helps you explore what long-term bonds mean for you and supports you in making choices about relationships that feel freer and more authentic.
