The SECRET to Successful Relationships
is Absolute Application and Action
Focus on Getting The Relationship You Deserve!

I believe we are innately drawn towards living our wholeness – that our relationship conflicts, physical and emotional disturbances and dreams  are our unconscious attempt to do so. Through compassion, safety and awareness I work closely with you in unfolding, exploring and integrating the potential meaning of your life challenges and practical skills in addressing them. From this comes greater strength, increased capacity for real change, understanding and acceptance.

The Tao of Relationship Stuckness

When a client recently asked me why the chronic problems that had developed over  his 12 year relationship hadn’t shifted eventhough they’d had two sessions.  I had to smile. When the goodwill and trust has been deteroriated in a relationship – open heartedness, compassion and a willingness to work through some of the relationship rubble will take time. I said to him it would be similar to asking “Why haven’t I reached enlightenment after I sat cross legged on the floor today.” Good humour and goodheartedness are wonderful feeling attitudes to hold when faced with a challenging relationship that we know would get better if only the other person changed!

“70% of making an argument constructive is believing that both positions are right. Start problem-solving from this assumption.”  Gottman Institute

Improving Your Communication as a Couple Right Now

There are three simple things that you can do to improve relationship communication -

1. Mirroring – really listening, suspending your response or reaction and repeating what you heard your partner say

2. Validating – Validating is not necessarily agreeing but validating how your partner’s perspective.

3. Empathising – Expressing how something must make your partner feel? Letting your partner know you understand this.
