Invest in your relationship: an MOT to allow you space to gauge your emotional connection, shared goals and hopes for your future. Tune-up your communication to express your love effectively using resonant language. Learn to argue well; understand how you work as a unit. Are you equally weighted in the load you carry in this relationship? It is amazing how many important things don't get said because we are simply too busy; make time and find out how to be two differentiated but united people.
A sustained, loving romance is a skilful, thoughtful way of being with each other that occurs with consideration and intention. Anything worthwhile requires attention and effort. Come and invest in your relationship to retain, or regain, the tender, intimate joy shared by a couple that knows how to love the other.
This course is intended for Couples who consider they are doing okay but would like to have a greater depth and intimacy in their relationship. I would suggest that if you and/or your partner are struggling in your relationship, it would be a better use of your time and resources to come to see me for either Couples or Individual therapy. See the link to Couples and Individual therapy sessions.
This ten week course is delivered in two formats
1. As a Couple, meet with me face-to-face or online, once a week for ten weeks
2. As a long weekend, in person, small group workshop. Typically the weekend group workshop has no more than three couples.
On a weekend course, you will be led through topics and then given space to discuss in private with your partner what has come up for you. I will be available to facilitate communication as needed. I understand that if you are not used to sitting down and talking about things together, it can feel awkward, even intimidating; it is often helpful to be engaged in an activity while you chat. With this in mind, various activities are encouraged, some outdoor, some physical, all easy, non-compeditive and relaxed.
To maximise the effectiveness of this course, it would be ideal if you were able to book accommodation nearby so that you can focus on your relationship for the whole weekend uninterrupted - but life is rarely perfect, particularly if you have Caring responsibilities. May I please request that instead, you plan to live as though you were away from home? Plan so you have as few household tasks to do as possible, prepare easy, tasty food, decline offers to go out, or requests by people to visit. Just be you, together, uninterrupted.
