What makes us different?

Two Coaches Perspective

Traditional relationship counselling uses one counsellor working with a couple or an individual.

We will only start work if both of you are there as we believe it is essential to hear both perspectives and for each of you to hear the other’s story.

Having two of us in the room means that we can go deeper more quickly and ensures there is a balance and that both of you will feel listened to and supported.

Two Coaches Perspective

Combined Counselling and Coaching

We will use the most appropriate tools to understand how you have both got to where you are now, the patterns of behaviour that have been created in yourselves before and during the relationship. We will then choose the best approaches to help you both get to the outcomes that you both want.

We Listen & Focus On The Outcomes That You Want

We believe it is essential to get clarity on the outcomes that you both want and to ensure those are coherent and compatible. It may take a while to dig deep and get that real clarity. Once we have this it gives us all a course to steer to the destination.
