Frequently Asked Questions

In this model, the therapist facilitates a process where the couple communicate directly with each other, rather than taking turns to share with the therapist. Each person in the relationship experiences life and their relationship differently, and they often do not understand each other’s different worlds. Being able to visit each other’s worlds in the safety of a therapeutic space, creates the potential for deeper understanding, mutual empathy, and connection.  During the process the couple develop the skills to navigate their own relationship challenges and build on their relational maturity.

Traditional therapy is usually conducted once a week for 55 minutes for an agreed number of weeks. This works well for individual therapy.  However, it is often not enough time for couples to really experience transformational changes in their relationship. When couples can create sufficient time to focus on their relationship, significant changes are possible as “corrective emotional experiences” which serve to alter the relational space and equip the couple with skills and resources that they can access after therapy.  Couples report finding a new way of seeing and doing their relationship, shifting from disconnection and conflict to a new place of openness and clarity going forward.

I offer a free 20 minute Zoom call where couples can ask any questions they have and decide if I’m the right resource for their relationship. 

Please contact me if you would like to request one or book your intensive.

It is quite common that initially one person within the relationship wants to do the work more than the other. I find many times that lack of information and fear are at the heart of refusing to take part and I am happy to offer a short 20 minute Zoom meeting with both of you to explain my work and answer your questions. This often helps bring clarity and confidence for both people as you look for the right resource for your relationship.

Should one or both of you want to end your relationship then you might consider a process of saying goodbye with mutual respect and acceptance. If you have completed a Couples Intensive with me, then the goodbye process is a one-day experience where you are guided through ending your relationship with deep respect, honouring all the benefits and challenges that you have lived through together. If you have not done the foundational Intensive, then you would first do this to give yourself a core foundation of new skills and understanding which you will then use in the goodbye process.

Please see my current rates. 

Intensives and other sessions are arranged for the convenience of each couple and depending on availability.  These details are discussed and agreed before the commencement of the intensive. Please contact me for more information.
