We’re a couple who counsel and coach couples
We use Gottman Therapy because it’s based on over 40 years of research. Gottman Therapy informs us that there are clear distinctions between the Masters of Relationships and the Disasters of Relationships. The Masters make marriage work. The Disasters end up living miserably or getting divorced.
Therefore we undertook qualifications through the Gottman Institute. We then added a wealth of experience with couples to support you both. We want to encourage and coach you to become Masters of Relationships. We have undertaken specific face to face training in many Gottman techniques including Treating Affairs and Trauma. We know a lot about conflict and miscommunication.
The Gottman’s extensive Research has found that couples wait till there is a crisis or they are about to separate before seeking help. While it’s best to seek professional help and support as early as possible, we can work with you when you are considering whether or not to stay together.
We will offer you the understanding, awareness and skills needed to resolve relationship challenges. Your time with us will support lots of improvements in your connection and intimacy.
We work with passion and professionalism to encourage respectful and purposeful discussions. We offer you the ability to want to stay together even when you are thinking of separating. Trust building and excellent communication will happen when using our approaches. Make your partner your best friend and so very much more.
Behind conflict and disconnection there are unmet needs. We will coach you to identify these needs. We show you the ways to discuss what you want and need from each other and how to learn to be more supportive.
We will help you to see that the reasons conflicts get out of hand is because you can both be triggered by actions. We help you negotiate changes to the way you interact to lessen the triggers and soften your reactions. We teach you both how to interact and understand one another in ways that can foster a healthy and sound relationship.
