With the Right Tools and Support, You Can Feel Like a Team Again
When everything turns into a fight, it’s hard to remember what being a team ever felt like. Whether you’re stuck in constant conflict, dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, barely speaking, or drowning in the stress of parenting, you know deep down: it shouldn’t be this hard to love each other. At Poole Conflict Solutions, we specialize in helping high-conflict couples and overwhelmed new parents rebuild trust, reduce conflict and reconnect, without judgment or blame. If you're tired of feeling alone in your relationship, we’re here to help you find a different way forward.
let’s be honest:
Relationships aren't just hard; sometimes they feel downright impossible.
When your relationship is full of tension, short fuses, and constant misunderstandings, it doesn’t feel safe to turn to anyone, not even each other. You’re walking on eggshells. Arguing over everything and nothing. Parenting in survival mode.
You want support, but friends and family don’t get it or they take sides. And the one person who’s supposed to be in it with you feels more like the problem than the solution.
Whether you’re stuck in the same high-stakes arguments, shutting down to avoid another blow-up, or quietly drifting apart in the chaos of parenting, this isn’t what you imagined your relationship would feel like.
At Poole Conflict Solutions, we specialize in high-conflict relationships and parents who feel like they’ve lost each other. We offer structure, expertise, and judgment-free support to help you repair trust, de-escalate conflict and feel like partners again, even in the hardest seasons.
We’re here to support you with…
Navigating high-conflict relationships
Rebuilding trust and emotional safety
Fighting less and feeling more connected
Understanding each other on a deeper level
You're here because something needs to change.
You're tired of the fighting, the loneliness, and the despair. You crave understanding, peace, and a genuine connection.
Let us help you turn these conflicts into connections. At Poole Conflict Solutions, your path to resolution is handled with compassion, discretion, and dedicated professionalism.

When every conversation turns into a fight, it’s hard to feel hopeful about your relationship. We help couples stuck in high-conflict patterns get to the root of what’s really going on. That means honest conversations, real tools, and a clear structure to help you stop repeating the same arguments. You’ll learn how to communicate without spiraling, understand what’s behind each other’s reactions, and start rebuilding trust, even if things feel messy right now.

Becoming parents changes everything—your routines, your identity, your priorities, and your relationship. We work with couples who feel disconnected, resentful, or constantly on edge in the early years of parenting. Whether you're arguing more, touching less, or just missing the closeness you used to have, we help you reconnect in the middle of the chaos. This isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about feeling like partners again.

Infidelity shatters trust. Whether it was a one-time betrayal or an ongoing affair, the pain runs deep. It’s not just about what happened, but also what it means. We work with couples who want to understand how they got here, what comes next and whether their relationship can survive. If you’re both willing to show up honestly, take responsibility, and do the work, healing is possible. We help couples rebuild trust, repair connection, and move forward, whether that means staying together or parting with clarity.
