Testimonials

“It’s fair to say when we decided to seek help with our marriage, we were already in a place of crisis. When we first sat down to discuss our problems, we quickly realised that they do not do “quick fixes”. In depth discussions together and separately meant that issues could be brought into the open safely and dealt with at an appropriate pace. The sessions are given a lot of time to ensure nothing is rushed or overlooked and that both parties can feel they are being understood. The skills given to us have changed the way we approach our relationship with each other. We can honestly say, that we are now in a much stronger marriage with better foundations which have meant that we have learnt to enjoy each other’s company again and we are now looking forward to a much brighter future. Thank you!”

“It is massively beneficial to have both a male and a female counselling us at the same time.”

“We appreciate the secure, calming, revealing, educational and problem solving sessions. Your qualities include listening, firm but kind, versatile, able to adapt, genuinely caring, being outcome based to create real, practical results.”

“The first long offload session was essential, as we got everything out and ended up empty. From there we could move on. If we’d gone to traditional counselling we’d have still been offloading two months later.”

“I needed this 20 years ago. This week that has just been incredible it’s like a different life now. I hadn’t seen my wife naked in the last five years and intimacy was non existent. Now things are wonderful.

I’ve never ever felt as good as I have done in the last week. I felt really good when I first came here and I knew we were in safe hands.

The first time we came here we learned so much. We would never ever have worked this out ourselves”

“Our first session here was a huge offloading where we were we were able to talk about things that we’ve never been able to. We were at rock bottom when we first came to see you. By the second session I am 100% certain that with your help we will get to a great relationship.

We’re now talking in the way that we were never able to do in our lives. After just three sessions with you: We have just had the best holiday that we’ve ever had. We have come a huge way. This is the beginning of our new life.”

“Together you create outcome-based real results. You have helped by giving us practical skills to take back into real life. You both have an amazing ability to help uncover the real reasons for our behaviours and actions without us feeling ‘bad’ about it. Once something from the past is ‘discovered’ it is not over analysed but used in a positive sense to take things forward not backwards. You are firm, to the point, with great ‘on the hop’ skills….and kind.”

“We chose you because I knew there would be an end in six sessions. Now we’ve reached the end I realise they’ve gone amazingly quickly.”

“We have been together for over 30 years and were facing retirement as two very separate people, seeking happiness outside of the relationship, and only coming together to bicker. Neil and Maria helped us to shed the bickering and complaints and create a new ‘Us’ where we genuinely enjoy sharing our time together.”

“After just one session we now know with real clarity what the fundamental issues are and are on the way to resolving them.”

“From the first session we knew we were making real progress. We have had a big journey in a short time and if we hadn’t come to you we would have split up. Thank you for all you have done. We are both feeling much calmer and happier.”

“My life and our lives are so much better for working with you. It has made such a significant difference to us. The difference between staying together and keeping our family or splitting up after we had been through some rough times. You offer a very specialised and invaluable opportunity.”

“We’ve had traditional Relationship Counselling before and now know that you get what you pay for.”

“This is an exceptional process.

We have been together over 30 years and had just separated. I thought it was all over.
After only two sessions of Duo Coaching, we are back in love again and working to a wonderful future.

You have helped me get in touch with my feelings and given me the ability to express them. This has changed my life and rescued our relationship.

We were disconnected, stressed, constantly arguing and about to break up. The change after three sessions of Duo Coaching has been nothing short of miraculous. We are talking, in love, having fun and embracing an exciting future.

There had been no intimacy for over 10 years. I don’t know why as we so desperately wanted it. After a few sessions with Duo Coaching, it magically reappeared and our life is wonderfully intimate.”

“They work fabulously together. They have great complementary skills that mean you get a well rounded approach with real results. It is definitely a case of two heads being better than one. Your best qualities are caring, understanding, being relaxing to be with, thought provoking, listening, remembering and genuinely caring.”

“If we had gone to conventional counselling we would have taken a longtime getting nowhere. It would have been tedious and my husband would have felt marginalised. This has worked wonderfully well for us.”

“Our twelve years together started so well but rapidly disintegrated into anxiety, disagreements and arguments. We have two lovely children, but they were being badly affected by two warring parents. We were also very stressed and unfulfilled at work. We came to Neil and Maria wanting to see if our relationship could be rescued or whether we should split up. After only 4 sessions we are back in love again, able to talk openly about our feelings and support each other. We have also been helped to look at the big picture and have both changed our careers and are feeling much more fulfilled. It has been an amazing journey.”

“I was still suffering several years after the difficult breakup of my marriage. I had been in my new relationship for 4 years and we were on the brink of splitting up. Neil and Maria, not only rescued our relationship, but helped me shed the unhappiness that I had been carrying around since childhood. I now wake up, every day, a happy man. Our lives are now much better than I could ever have believed.”

“Our lives were complicated, Intimacy had disappeared, and I felt very resentful of that. The distance between us was growing. It has been a challenging journey but Neil and Maria supported us all the way. Our intimacy is now back and we are enjoying our time together, in love, and doing simple things.”

“Our children have benefited too; they have gone through a huge leap of communication and understanding.”

“Over 25 years together and our lives were miserable. Work was really stressful and home life was even worse with never ending arguments. We were both on the brink of ending the relationship. Neil and Maria rescued us, gave us a clear route to a much better and more harmonious life. We are so thankful that we did this.”

“Our relationship was utterly improved by our sessions with you. Your approach is unique and so incredibly helpful. Thank you”

“The darkness has lifted. There is now a lightness to our relationship.”

“By coming to see you we have given ourselves a huge gift.”

“There has been an amazing amount to process in a few hours. It is having a profound effect.”

“I was terrified to my core coming into this room. I thought it would be a mechanism for dissolving the marriage. Instead, we have taken huge leaps forward.”

“We now have a roadmap to a better relationship that has been validated.”

“We think it has been a very worthwhile experience and has helped us enormously. We aim to keep doing the daily and weekly work to ensure we don’t slip back into our old ways.”

“Our intimacy has gone from zero to amazing. It is now the best it has ever been”

“I am so happy at how things have shifted.”

“Once again-Thank you for performing a miracle cure for our marriage”

“I was given some unsolicited encouragement from two close friends last week when we met. It went along the lines of acknowledging that I could have walked out of our marriage last summer but how the time we had with you was “the best money you’ve ever spent!”. I agree whole-heartedly but wouldn’t say it was the best money but the best time we ever spent!!”

“Four months plus into our changed life, I can honestly say that life is better. More joy, more fun, less isolation, less demands on time.”

“After just one session we are enjoying life together again. It is a bit of a miracle that one session can have such an impact. Why couldn’t we resolve ourselves?”

“It feels like there is a shift in the air – it feels like the shift from spring to summer – a sense of the fruitfulness to come, of warmth and contentment.”

“They are Phenomenal. Neil and Maria have an incredible ability to put us at ease, drill down to the core, hidden, problems and create lasting solutions. It has been life changing.”

“We arrived in despair, believing our relationship had ended. After one session we now have a true understanding of how we co-created this and have real hope for the future.”

“It is because our marriage feels a safe base for me that I can move back out into the world.”

“Our first session was wonderful. In all our time together, we have never had the opportunity to talk properly. This has cleared a lot. We are now so much more comfortable with each other. It is difficult to believe just how much has improved after one session.”

“We are amazed at how quickly our relationship has improved. Coming to see you has been transformational. The future is now really exciting.”
