Questions about couples counselling
What is the Gottman Method?
The Gottman Method Couples Therapy is an approach developed by Drs John and Julie Gottman from many years of studying couples. It looks at a couple's friendship, how they manage conflict and the shared meaning they build together. I have completed Level 1 of The Gottman Institute's training and am working on Level 2.
What happens in the first sessions?
The first session (90 minutes) is spent getting to know you both: your relationship history, current challenges and what you hope for. In the second session I meet with each of you on your own (45 to 60 minutes each), to understand each person's perspective. From the third session onwards, we work together on a plan shaped by what we've learned.
Can we have couples counselling online?
Yes. Couples sessions are available in person at Lake Michelle, Noordhoek, and online, mainly on Zoom (Google Meet is also possible).
Do you offer premarital counselling, or help for parents who are separating?
Yes. Premarital counselling is for couples preparing for marriage, and Separating with care is for parents who have decided to part. Both follow the same opening as my couples counselling; see their pages.
How much does couples counselling cost?
In South Africa, couples sessions (90 minutes) are R1,575; outside South Africa, they are £90. The first session (90 minutes) costs the same.
