Gerry cullen

Gerry established Relationship Matters to break the mould in terms of the traditional approach to therapy.

Held in a bright, modern, and accessible suite of consulting rooms, Relationship Matters provides a welcoming and safe environment for clients to come into.

Relationship Matters is an environment to feel comfortable in. We understand that it is okay to not feel okay, and will help you in understanding the same. Here, you will enter a journey of discovery facilitated by people with your best interests at heart. We will help you learn how to have more good days than bad days and really make your relationships matter. You will also learn how to remain in relationships whilst facing the many challenges of modern life. For example: social media, always-on work pressures, the ‘ideal’ relationship, breakdowns in trust and communication, support issues, and the inner critic that never leaves you alone.

Relationship Matters is more than just a business. We share the same values and understanding on how people interact with each other. We know that there is no such thing as the perfect life or the perfect relationship, and we are always moving forward with this knowledge at the fore.

The Relationship Matters approach is to help you understand and care about yourself. We will help you recognise the style in which you form your attachments and teach you how to actively listen in order to understand.

Relationship Matters will honour your story and help you live through your challenges, be they relationship problems, relationship breakdown, couples in crisis, infidelity, separation, intimacy issues, managing conflict, depression, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress, understanding couples in crisis, and/or preparing for marriage. By clicking on the relevant topic you will be given a snapshot of the key symptoms that are normally associated with each of these challenges. If you think Relationship Matters can help, just click the contact button and an initial meeting will be arranged for you.
