Interpersonal development
Living with a mental health condition or addiction can significantly impact your personal and professional relationships. At Harbor, our London-based interpersonal development therapy is designed to help you navigate these challenges, fostering healthier and more fulfilling relationships in an utterly discreet environment.
Interpersonal development
Enhancing relationships through interpersonal development
Humans are inherently social beings. Relationships – whether family-based, platonic, or romantic – are a vital part of life. However, the way that these are navigated can greatly influence overall wellbeing. Interpersonal development therapy provides the guidance and support needed to address challenges within these relationships, by focusing on how they impact one another.
When undertaking interpersonal development therapy in London, the focus is shifted from trying to change the other person’s behaviour to examining how one can influence the relationship through personal development. Examining each client’s role within relationships, and taking responsibility for making positive changes, can help improve both mental wellbeing and the quality of relationships.
Our approach
What to expect from interpersonal development
Harbor’s London-based interpersonal development counsellors understand the complexities and interconnectedness between mental health conditions and relationships. Strain within your relationships can contribute to mental health challenges, and living with mental health conditions can increase strain on your relationships. Interrupting this cycle and maintaining healthy, stable relationships is therefore paramount. When you undertake private interpersonal development therapy with Harbor, your dedicated, London-based counselling team will meticulously tailor your sessions to your individual mental wellbeing requirements, ensuring a comprehensive, personalised approach through:
- Assessment: Your therapist will begin with a thorough assessment to understand the interpersonal issues you are facing and what you aim to achieve.
- Identifying issues: Work with your therapist to pinpoint specific relationship challenges, whether they are recurring issues across multiple relationships or particular scenarios causing distress.
- Understanding and addressing concerns: Explore the underlying reasons for these issues and learn how to make adjustments that can be applied outside of therapy sessions.
- Developing skills: Gain techniques for effective communication, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution to foster healthier relationships.
- Ongoing support: Receive continuous guidance and feedback to ensure you are making progress towards your goals.




How it works
How interpersonal development can help you
Interpersonal development therapy can help you – across a myriad of personal scenarios – reach your full potential and become the best version of yourself:
- Interpersonal disputes: We provide a private, comfortable space for reflection and change, allowing you to address conflicts arising from differing expectations in family, social, marital, school, or workplace settings.
- Role transitions: Navigate significant life changes such as marriage, divorce, parenthood, job changes, or retirement, reducing stress and helping you adapt.
- Grief: Process feelings of grief and loss, particularly if experiencing delayed or distorted grief, insomnia, or fatigue.
- Interpersonal deficits: Improve your ability to maintain quality relationships, address feelings of inadequacy, and enhance your communication skills.
Personal growth and healing require honesty, reflection, and vulnerability. At Harbor, we guarantee utter discretion in a judgement-free, luxurious setting to address these challenges, ensuring you only ever feel safe and supported through your journey.
