Communication is key to all successful relationships and I work hard to help all my clients develop a greater awareness of their own communication preferences and encourage them to try alternative styles. Sadly, many of our clients’ relationships have broken down due to poor communication and cases can often escalate due to unhelpful language used by the professionals. By developing a greater awareness of and improving our own communication style, we are far better placed to help our clients as well as enjoying more positive peer relationships which ultimately leads to better outcomes.
