Risa Ennis Family Counselling

Home

Family Counselling is a profession that is best left to counsellors. If your lawyer begins to sound more like a counsellor, this is not what you are paying a lawyer to do. Please see finding a good divorce lawyer.


Your inital step is to find a counsellor, whom you feel comfortable with, to help you through the emotional divorce. Once you have done that, you are on you way to healing and perhaps, finding loving again.

We, as human beings are blessed with the ability to speak, along with a tone of voice and body language which aid our message. We are blessed with the ability to hear and perceive what others wish to communicate to us.


So, why do we have such a universal problem with communicating? We were not trained in effective communication, those who are skilled have made it a priority to learn, or we simply choose not to communicate for many reasons. We are also prdoucts of our environments and stressors strongly influence the effectiveeness of our communication.

Helping Children If children are involved, Risa tells them her story as well. "The best work I do," she says, "is helping kids make the transition."
