” I discovered my partner had been having an affair. I was really angry and ready to leave. The process that we have been through with Duo Coaching has been tough but incredible. I have learned so much, developed self awareness and now have an amazing relationship with my partner and daughter. The affair was a horrible wake up call but we are now in a much better place.”
“It has been absolutely transformational. Our marriage had been in a bad place for many years and we avoided being with each other. If we separated, the impact on ourselves and our children would have been catastrophic.After only two Duo Coaching sessions our marriage was better than it had ever been, we had a wonderful Christmas and the children commented on how much happier we both were.”
“I had got to the point where I hated him. Talking to him was impossible, no point. He was like teflon and nothing stuck. Anything raised was reflected back on me. There was no point in communicating and we had to live life by his standards.
After our sessions with you; our communication has dramatically changed. He can listen without defensiveness, we are working as a team and he is calmer, more open and aware.
Without you, we would have split up.”
“Coming to see you helped us to make the final decision to split. Afterwards, you made me aware of the way I communicate and how this provokes a reaction in others. This has made me re-evaluate how I behave and communicate with my children, family, work colleagues, call centres and everyone, including my Ex! I’m sure this will be a life skill I will use forever. Her techniques really helped me through a difficult time in my life. It really felt like a haven of knowledge to visit you and to focus on moving forward with my life.”
“I am a stronger person now since seeing you. The work you have done with me has changed my world. I’m looking forward now.”
“I can’t imagine what would have happened had we not had the intervention you brought. Thank you. Both”
“We feel we’ve entered a new and all together more positive phase of our lives and I thank you again for helping us get here.”
“We have learned a HUGE amount during our time with you – the ability to talk and actually connect with one another is something that was vitally missing from our relationship and not something that any previous counselling has ever managed to help us with. “
“We have never been happier. We are stronger than we ever have been. We are totally in love. We will soon celebrate a big wedding anniversary. So many factors that made up those years, of which you both played a very significant part. Like most, we struggle each month with money, kids, cars etc. We no longer row. In fact we haven’t had one for a long time, possibly not this year.”
“You know now that we are properly separating. I wanted to say thanks for everything that you did for us. I certainly felt like I learnt a lot from our sessions and will hopefully take this forward with me in the future. I still have your number and would like to come for a session sometime in the future with you guys myself to talk about how things are going and how I’m coping etc. Thanks again. I’ve recommended you to all my friends! See you in a few months.”
“The skilful and thoughtful sessions we had with you have enabled us to clearly move forward. I have a genuine feeling that I have my old and truly wonderful wife back – the one I close to destroyed and I feel grateful, relieved and unduly fortunate.”
“We are both hugely grateful for the support and advice and help you have given us to get us through what has been a miserably tough time. We now feel ready to move forward with the tools you have given us.”
“Duo Coaching has saved our life together. From the first distraught phone conversation, and in Duo Coaching sessions over the last few months, you have helped us rebuild our shattered marriage and learn a great deal about ourselves, both as individuals, and as a couple. Duo Coaching worked for us as it provided a balanced view of our problems and allowed us to discuss them openly without feeling like either one of us was being judged or blamed. They have clearly worked incredibly hard, both in the sessions and in comparing notes and planning a way forward for the next session. They provided a comfortable and relaxed environment for us to openly discuss some difficult issues both in open forum and in one on one break outs and have given us the tools to continue to grow as a couple. During the time we have known them they have been flexible to our family needs and often gone further than they needed to to support us through some very difficult times. We are very glad to have met them, really pleased that they cared, and highly recommend their innovative and understanding approach to counselling.”
“We are delighted that we are about to have a new child. Without the two of you she would probably not be there. (Update: A little girl, was delivered weighing 8lb, 12.5ozs. Mother, baby [and Father] are doing well.)”
“Thank you for your help, particularly during the first day that we were due to meet. I needed someone and you were there for me.”
“We liked the unique service of two of you working with two of us. From Day 1 the journey has turned into a positive one rather than negative. You are both very skilled but in different ways.”
“There is now real empathy between us. I can now be much more open about my emotions and know that I will be supported. I can enjoy, laugh and take the rough with the smooth.”
“We had a very positive year since we were last at your place and are both so thankful that we managed to pull the rudder around at the last minute, due to your work with us. We have the tools and willingness to never end up in the same situation we were when we first came to you. Thank you very much for all you did for us and as you can see it really was worth it. I hope, and feel sure, you are still very busy helping other people to find the sunny side of life again and I wish you all the strength and dedication for the future. “
“Thank you once again for you continued support and interest. We are both feeling safe, secure, stronger, more comfortable and happier than either of us has in a very long time. The challenges are still there, the ups and downs continue to happen but we no longer fight each other to deal with them. We are a work in progress, enjoying the foundations but relishing the redecorating and extensions to our life! It goes without saying, without your hard work, professionalism and encouragement, we would not be in the position we are or the people that we have become. We are friends, lovers, husband & wife and above all, grateful!”
“This is the first time in years that we have bared all. Without this, we wouldn’t be in a relationship at all. The balance of the future is now much greater than to the past.”
“When we found ourselves at a crossroads in our marriage, you taught us how to be honest and open with each other and, with the utmost sensitivity, encouraged us to find the right path. Providing a neutral and non-judgemental environment in which to talk, they helped us to understand about ourselves and each other, and the reasons why our lives had led us to such a difficult place. The skills and tools they provided have enabled us to move forward and make a fresh start, building upon the good things and rekindling those feelings that first drew us together. Your very professional service has not only helped save our marriage, but given us the confidence to deal with whatever life might bring in future. Thank you!”
“The journey is still tough but it is so much easier when there is a safe place to talk, to share and not shout or be shouted at.”
“I am much more happy and having really positive experiences at home; I am really wanting to come home and see my wife rather than dreading it.”
“Before we would have screamed and shouted at each other; now we are talking like grown ups. We are now in a really positive place and I know we’ll never go back to how things were in the past.”
“You and Neil enveloped me. I have never felt quite so safe and able to open up with anyone as I did with you both. You had an amazing understanding which gave me comfort and strength. You’ve been so kind – thank you.”
“Thank you so very much for your incredible insight, sensitivity and intelligent guidance. Rest assured that should I need help in the future I would have every confidence in returning for future sessions with you both. My personal and grateful thanks.”
“Our relationship is now more natural than it has been in years. Our love has got more intense and we are really in love again. There has been a lot of healing.”
“We started in a very bad place and I didn’t think our relationship could continue, although I really wanted it to. We are now very happy with where we are going and have made huge steps forward.”
“They helped me and my husband with our rocky marriage. They listened well and were never quick to judge. The tools, homework, personal development challenges they gave us have now taken our marriage off the rocks and onto a peaceful beach…. Duo Coaching has saved a marriage, family and friendship and for that I thank them. I know that if I need them at all in the future, they will be there for me.”
“The harsh reality is that the cost of saving my marriage is inestimable to me. Given that, you are reassuringly expensive.
“The knowledge that we can email and phone you between sessions to get your support is incredibly helpful and makes us feel really supported.”
“Having met you, we knew that we were in safe hands and had made the right decision.”
