"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Couples Coaching
Couples coaching empowers you as an individual and as a couple to focus on what you want in your relationship, rather than what you don’t want. We will do more than talk about it - we will take action. Like a pebble dropped in the water, small changes can have an amazing ripple effect on your relationship as a whole. We will focus on your desired future and what you can do, singularly and together, to create it.
The honeymoon phase of a relationship is magical … all we see is how wonderful our partner is, and we dismiss some of the ‘not so wonderful’ aspects of our relationship.
However, life evolves, and every couple hits a turbulent phase at some point in their relationship. The day-to-day mundaneness of life creeps in; the stresses and daily demands of work, home-life and children often lift the rose-tinted glasses we once wore, and we start to see are the ‘not so wonderful’ aspects of our partner. We often become tired and emotional as a result, and this can often become a blocker to ‘real conversation’ and communication between couples. Walls between couples can be created which can grow over time if steps are not taken.
In a relationship, we can also be our own worst enemy. We are often unable to let go of our own viewpoint, to really listen to our partner. Time and again we find ourselves the victim of our own reactions in relation to the other.
Each one of us wants to be understood by our partner. We want honesty and passion and meaning and fulfilment; we become disappointed and hurt when our closest relationships don’t live up to our expectations.
If these feelings sound familiar, then couples coaching can help you and your partner. Coaching can help break down walls to allow ‘real communication’ to start to flow again.
