About
Camilla Fadel
Hi I'm Camilla, a therapist, coach and mental health educator/facilitator specialising in supporting wellbeing in and through Relationships; and the evidence based belief that our relational health with one another, ourselves and our wider environment is the basis for our wider health and happiness.
Relationships when working well positively support well-being and health, and through them our development and growth. There can however be many hurdles involved including, but not limited to:
-Conflict and communication difficulties;
-Decisions around commitment and relationship boundaries;
-Difficulties conceiving /infertility and challenges from the first early years of parenthood;
-Separation, breakup, step parenting, blended families;
-Affairs / Infidelity;
-Carer responsibilities /supporting physical and mental illness within a relationship or family;
-Life transitions experienced as stressful within a relationship/family- health diagnosis, bereavement, grief and wider losses e.g. redundancy
Relationship therapy aims to support around these hurdles by providing a space to explore patterns of behaviour, past familial experiences and practice building communication and intimacy.
