Rachael Blackmore - Relationship Counsellor

Many of us are unaware of what our 'attachment style' is and how it impacts our relationships in adulthood. In this podcast (originally a facebook live video) I explore the ways in which you might find yourself behaving according to which attachment style you developed as an infant. If you are interested in finding out what yours is, you can visit https://dianepooleheller.com/attachment-test/ to take the test and find out more.

Life in lockdown is challenging for many reasons. Most of us aren't used to spending so much time at home with a partner. In this interview I talk to ITV's Kylie Pentelow about how to deal with problems during these difficult times. My key piece of advice for anyone struggling with a lack of personal space at the moment is to communicate effectively. Whether you're finding it hard to share a working space at home, trying to juggle home-schooling the children - or both at the same time - I have some valuable tips to help you navigate lockdown in a relationship.

This interview was recorded in 2018 when I was running dating events - I am no longer doing that but the main focus of this interview is to understand how and why relationships (with anyone) break down and what we can do to fix them.

This interview was recorded in 2017, and in it I talk to Sali about setting up as a dating coach. I no longer do that, but I do work with both individuals and couples as a counsellor on the exact same things I talk to Sali about here.  I also give an insight into the things that may be going wrong in your relationship and the possible causes for that.

If you are finding it hard to get on with your partner like you usually would because you are spending long periods of time together, I have some advice and guidance on how you can have that difficult conversation, how to be more tolerant, and how to get the best from your relationship during this unprecedented period of isolation and strain.
