New Brighton Counselling Blog Discusses the Benefits of Online Therapy for Couples Experiencing Relationship Difficulties

Sep 21, 2021

September 21, 2021 - /PressAdvantage/ - The Hove Counselling Practice has established a solid reputation in the Brighton and Hove area for helping people get through the challenges and personal problems that they face in their lives. This includes helping couples that are currently experiencing relationship difficulties. One of the easiest ways that couples having relationship problems can take advantage of the unique therapies this facility has to offer is by participating in its helpful online sessions. The Hove Counselling Practice believes so strongly in the benefits that online therapy offers to couples, that it even made this topic the focus of a blog article it recently posted to its website. This new blog titled ‘The 6 Benefits of Online Counselling and Therapy for Couples’ was written by Brighton and Hove-based counsellor and therapist, Claire Sainsbury, an experienced practitioner who has personally helped many couples resolve relationship difficulties through even the most challenging periods of their lives.

Sainsbury says, “Being in a relationship in the modern world poses many challenges that were not factors in relationships several decades ago. Add to that a life-changing virus that is forcing couples to learn how to navigate through spending unusually large amounts of time together, and it’s easy to see how couples can find themselves going through some very difficult times. What’s sad for me is seeing couples part ways before they give themselves a fighting chance to stay together. That’s why I took the time to write this new blog article. It points out some of the benefits that online therapy offers that can help couples overcome even the most difficult problems that they are currently facing in their lives.”

The first benefit of online therapy for couples discussed in The Hove Counselling Practice blog was that couples often feel more at ease when talking through their problems from a home environment as opposed to a therapist’s office. Couples also tend to show more transparency in this type of home-based online therapy session. Online therapy also tends to eliminate some of the roadblocks that are often associated with in-person couples’ counselling. This often leads to partners being able to better express their feelings which, in turn, also helps to create better understanding between them. Also mentioned in the blog is that online couples therapy helps partners identify relationship patterns, aberrant coping mechanisms, and interpersonal differences conducive to relational difficulties. The article also referred to the strict confidentiality in which information disclosed in a virtual therapy session is held, and how online therapy sessions have been proven to be just as effective for couples as in-person counselling.

Counselling online is also effective in terms of (i) guiding couples on how to compromise on the issues that would otherwise lead to dysfunctional relationships and (ii) teaching them how to avoid the traps that may incite relational discord in the first place.

Individuals who have sought relationship help from The Hove Counselling Practice have been extremely pleased with the results. Joannagh S. stated, “I would absolutely recommend Hove Counselling Practice. Claire worked with my partner and me on some issues we were having within our relationship. Claire is trustworthy, easy to talk to, and clearly an excellent counsellor.” Kieran B. commented, “I reached out to Claire as I was having some personal and relationship difficulties. She was very astute and identified the central issue on my very first visit. In fact, the problem I sought her help with turned out to only be a small symptom of a wider issue. She has been lovely throughout and has been challenging and encouraging in equal measure. I have found our sessions together immensely helpful and my confidence, marriage, family and professional life will be all the better for it. Something perhaps I should have done years ago. Highly recommended.”

Sainsbury also mentions that The Hove Counselling Practice is always ready to assist couples in getting through their difficult challenges. Their Brighton counselling, relationship help, and other couples support services are always available to be taken advantage of. Scheduling an online couples counselling session can be done by contacting The Hove Counselling Practice by phone, email, or by completing and sending the form at their website’s contact us page.

Mondilla rides South Pacific breakthrough into Apo, eyes bigger conquests

MANILA, Philippines – Clyde Mondilla is back in the winner’s circle, and he intends to make the most of his return. Fresh from ending a two-year title drought with a hard-earned victory at South Pacific Golf Club, Mondilla heads to the final leg of the Philippine Golf Tour at Apo Golf and Country Club starting Tuesday (Oct. 27) with renewed confidence, a sharper game and ambitions that extend well beyond the local circuit. His South Pacific triumph was more than just a long-awaited return to the winner’s column. It was a test of nerve against a five-man chase, a demonstration of his ability to deliver under pressure and, perhaps most importantly, a timely reminder that he remains a force to reckon with as he sets his sights on bigger international challenges. For Mondilla, the victory has already delivered its biggest immediate reward: the confidence to compete and win again. “Winning this tournament means a lot to me because I’m back in the winner’s circle, and my confidence has gone up,” said Mondilla in Filipino, who ended his title drought the hard way, holding off a crowded field of challengers in a gripping final-round battle on Friday. The 32-year-old Del Monte ace showed precisely why the breakthrough could prove pivotal. With Sean Ramos matching him shot for shot and Angelo Que, Keanu Jahns and Korean Lee Song lurking in the chase, Mondilla kept his composure when the pressure peaked. He then birdied two of the final four holes to break away from Ramos and seal a two-shot victory, turning a tense, tightly contested finish into a statement win. It was the kind of closing stretch that could serve him well at Apo, where the Tour’s season-ending test will demand both precision and sound decision-making. Having survived the pressure cooker at South Pacific, Mondilla believes he is ready for another demanding week. Reflecting on how he handled the closing stretch, he said he was pleased with his composure and was eager to carry that momentum into the next event. “I handled the pressure pretty well, so I think I’m ready for another tournament next week at Apo,” he said. Mondilla missed last year’s Apo Golf Classic, where Fidel Concepcion broke through for his maiden PGT victory in a playoff against Korean Jaehyun Jung. But the Apo layout is hardly unfamiliar territory for the former Philippine Open champion, who has played the course several times throughout his career. His previous campaign there, however, yielded little to celebrate, as he finished tied for 25th in the 2024 edition. This time, he arrives with a different mindset and a timely boost in form after rediscovering the winning touch that once made him one of the Tour’s most formidable players. Mondilla dominated four legs of the PGT in 2017 to claim the Order of Merit crown and captured the Philippine Open title in 2019. His latest victory suggests that the seasoned campaigner, long regarded as one of the Tour’s longest hitters, may once again be ready to contend consistently. The turnaround, he explained, has come through hard work and a renewed commitment to the finer points of his game. After stepping away from the rigors of competition for a period and spending time tending to farm work at home, Mondilla buckled down to serious practice, making key adjustments to his iron and wedge play. Those refinements have helped him complement his length off the tee with the precision needed to close out tournaments. But his comeback has not been a solo effort. Behind the renewed focus and improved form is a family that has continued to push him forward, along with a close friend who helped him rediscover his passion for the game. Mondilla was quick to acknowledge the people who stood by him and encouraged him to work his way back. “May has been pushing me to practice and make up for lost ground. My two daughters are my inspiration, as are my mother and father,” he said, referring to his wife, May, and their children. “I also have my friend PJ Dela Torre, with whom I share a deep bond. He was one of the people who helped bring me back to the game.” The challenge at Apo, however, is unlikely to offer much breathing room. Ramos, Jahns, Que and Song are expected to remain among the leading threats, eager to make amends after coming up short at South Pacific and prevent Mondilla from building further momentum. The course itself presents another formidable obstacle. Apo’s risk-and-reward character places a premium on disciplined course management, accurate iron play, a dependable short game and steady putting. Power can create opportunities, but poor decisions can quickly erase any advantage. For Mondilla, the formula for sustaining his resurgence is straightforward: keep practicing, but never lose sight of the enjoyment that makes the game worthwhile. He stressed that relentless effort alone is not enough if a player loses the pleasure of competing. “Just keep practicing, and, most importantly, enjoy the game,” he said. “You can keep trying and working hard, but if you’re not enjoying golf, it won’t do you any good. You have to enjoy being out on the course, enjoy playing and appreciate the game. That’s what matters. When you do that, winning becomes easier.” And while another title at Apo would be a fitting follow-up to his South Pacific breakthrough, Mondilla is looking beyond the immediate prize. He hopes to use his renewed form as a springboard toward the country’s premier championship and, eventually, a shot at establishing himself on the Asian Tour. Looking ahead to the bigger tests on his calendar, he said the victory had given his preparations a significant lift. “This win is a big boost to my preparations for the Philippine Open in November, and eventually, I want to compete in the Asian Tour Q-School,” he said. For now, though, the focus is firmly on Apo. TMT
