Couples Coaching

MY WORK FOCUS

In couples work I focus on creating a safe place for two individuals to have meaningful conversations, more effective communication and greater connection. In Couples Coaching, specifically, partners develop greater awareness of themselves and their relationship, leading to more intentionality and consciousness.

Couples coming to me for Coaching are interested in growth and change in their relationship. They are committed to their togetherness despite the difficulties they are experiencing. Even though the culture pretends otherwise, relationships are not easy. It is not the case that finding “the right one” will cause everything to fall into place. This is far from the truth. The honeymoon does end and issues and difficulties emerge for all of us who choose to live our lives in relationships. 

A METAPHOR FOR RELATIONSHIPS

When two people enter a relationship, they come together from two different countries. The relationship begins with them speaking different languages, observing different customs and seeing the world from their own country’s perspective. Couples being coached each learn to cross the bridge into the other’s country, speak and respect the other’s language, and appreciate that country’s difference from their own.

HOW DOES COUPLES COACHING WORK?

In Couples Coaching, I use the IMAGO model, the Coaching model and other approaches unique to each couple.
