Hi there,


I?m new to the lounge but have used the East Dulwich forum over the years to both offer my unwanted items and get recommendations for local services. I?ve now got a more unusual request (this has been given the all clear by admin by the way).


I am a couple?s counsellor with over 10 years experience and I?m currently doing research into the decline of vitality in long term relationships.


The feeling that a relationship has ?lost its spark? is a common experience that many committed couples live with yet there are no coherent strategies for counsellors who come across this type of issue. The purpose of this research is to further understanding in this area and contribute to the effectiveness of couple therapy.


I am looking for couples who are interested in taking part in this study. Participants will have been together for at least 5 years and not currently in counselling. Their relationship will be stable yet they both feel that they have lost the ?spark? between them. This study will also be looking at gender differences therefore I am seeking heterosexual couples.


I wish to emphasise that I am not looking for ?experts? on the topic. You will be treated with respect, and not judged or personally analysed in any way. The identity of participants will only be known by me and all steps will be taken to ensure your anonymity.


What will your participation involve?

You will be invited to take part in a one-to-one 60 minute interview that will take place in a quiet and private room at a local health centre in Crystal Palace or possibly in your own home.


My research has been approved by the School of Psychology Research Ethics Committee. This means that my research follows the standard of research ethics set by the British Psychological Society.


If you or a couple that you know are interested in more details please PM me.


Many Thanks

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
