Expert Training in Couples Therapy
I have the experience and education to help couples work through their problems and get back on track with their communication and commitment to one another. I specialise in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which I completed level two training for in 2018.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
The Gottman method integrates assessment and research-based interventions into couples therapy. Interventions are designed to help couples strengthen their relationship in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management and creation of shared meaning.
Breaking Down Barriers
The Gottman method has a long history of research and is practical and structured in its approach, particularly with helping couples overcome their problems together. For more information visit gottman.com.
Healing From The Past
Oftentimes, past hurts and trauma can play a role in your present relationship. I use the Gottman method to help you understand your past and heal those old wounds so you can keep progressing with your partner.
Compassion for Couples
As part of the Gottman method, I help couples learn how to be more compassionate toward one another and understand what their partner wants and needs out of their relationship.
Identifying Common Goals
Another aspect of the Gottman method is helping couples unlock their goals for the future and figure out what they need to do to improve their relationship and continue on the path to success.
