Relationships
Core to all relationship work is being able to identify what way of working will be best for you as a couple.
I will often do a pre -assessment to see what the core issues are and then tend to use a mix of Gottman and Imago based work to help you navigate your way to a positive outcome.
​
When working with couples I work individually at time with both of you if there are particular issues that need working with and also help you both learn how to communicate with each other in a way that is positive and heard.
Gottman:
Interventions are designed to help couples strengthen their relationships in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. Couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts.
IMAGO:
Imago presents an understandable and practical approach to maximizing the
potential in all human relationships.
​
“We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship,” says Hendrix.
“And we must heal in relationship.”
According to Imago theory, when we are attracted to a potential love partner, we’re actually picking the perfect person to help us work through our wounds from childhood.
