Couple in their late twenties who have been together for over 2 years. Noticed they were bickering more and wanted to change the way they communicated during conflict. (Finland)
"Having a framework felt like having the guard rails up. We were able to methodically work through some big issues and come up with a resolution. It takes practice to not verbally attack and blame the other person. We have two key phrases on our fridge at home and they are "I feel" and "I need". Thea has really helped us understand ourselves and each other. We recommend Gottman to all our friends".
Client was feeling stressed having recently moved his elderly mother into the family home. Arguments were taking place between him and his family due to the changes. (Buckinghamshire)
"Counselling is not something I thought I needed however, talking things through and saying it out load made my situation more real and I was then able to make the changes needed. Thea helped me see different perspectives which really helped me".
Couple met at university and have been married for 18 years. Both were feeling disconnected from each other and aware they were living very separate lives. (London)
"Thea was recommended to us by mutual friends who highly rated The Gottman Method. She was very supportive of both our view points and we never felt she took sides. Some of our disagreements have been going on for over 10 years. We now have a much deeper understanding of each other and the tools we put into practice we continue to use as a couple as well as with our teenage children! The sessions really helped us reconnect and remember why we fell in love all those years ago".
Second marriage for both partners. They lived outside of mainland UK and came over for several marathon sessions to really focus on their issues and spend time as a couple.
"We were both apprehensive about this process, for different reasons, we were mainly worried about what were we opening up and where would it lead. The Gottman framework helped us both feel safe and Thea explained why we were using different interventions and really guided us through some tricky and emotional conversations. The end result is we have a much better understanding of each other and we were able to feel safe enough to talk about how we really felt about different situations. When you feel heard and validated, a positive shift in the relationship occurs".
