Relationship Issues

Relationships are a cornerstone of our emotional wellbeing, but they can also bring challenges that leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you’re facing difficulties in a romantic partnership, with family, or in friendships, Oak Grove Psychology is here to help. Our psychologists serving Reading and the wider UK offer compassionate support to help you navigate and improve your relationships, fostering healthier connections and communication.

Common Relationship Difficulties

Relationship issues can arise for many reasons, including unresolved conflicts, differences in expectations, or challenges with communication. Over time, these issues can strain even the strongest bonds, and can lead to stress, anxiety, or loneliness, affecting your mental health as well as your relationships.

Some of the most common issues within relationships include:

  • Frequent arguments or unresolved conflicts

  • Struggles with trust, jealousy, or insecurity

  • Difficulty expressing feelings or understanding each other's needs

  • Feeling distant, disconnected, or unappreciated

  • Patterns of avoidance, defensiveness, or criticism

  • Navigating major life changes, such as parenthood or career stress

  • Considering separation but unsure how to move forward
