I use the Gottman method of working with couples, unless couples are just wanting to look at one specific area of concern..
The reason I use this method of working with couples is because it is very thorough and considers all areas of the relationship to foster the best outcome for the future.
It also focuses the counselling on creating ways to foster understanding one another in a respectful manner. It also uses very clear and effective methods, to create understanding, repair, foster affection and points of joining together and assist in creating compromise that feels validating for both individuals in the couple. These skills and interventions are focused on good dialoguing so that the tools can continue to be used outside of the Counselling space.
To book you can use;

or
ph 03 9068 3228
The fees are $200 for the 90 min sessions
and the first consultation is $250, because it includes a "Gottman Relationship checklist"
(this is emails out to you both to do individually)
this fast tracks the process of working on what may be the most helpful areas to work on and how.
It is expected that couples would benefit from attending 5 - 12 sessions.
Because this way of working is thorough and wholistic, it takes an assessment and process to evaluate before practicing interventions with one another and takes into account the need to practice and implement new and effective ways of communicating.
