    Gottman Method Couples Training

    Setting couples up for success with the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy

    As a Certified Gottman Therapist in Australia, I have seen remarkable success working with couples who were experiencing problems in their relationship.

    What is the Gottman Method Couples Therapy?

    Known around the world for its effectiveness, the Gottman Method was developed by Dr John and Dr Julie Schwartz Gottman after four decades of research and real-life feedback from thousands of couples.

    This evidence-based method focuses on the relationship to help couples gain a deeper understanding of each other and how to improve communication and increase intimacy.

    How does the Gottman Method work?

    Session 1: Couple Session
    In the first session we discuss the history of your relationship to help me better understand how your relationship developed and what has changed over time. During this session I also take the time to identify your relationships strengths as well as your challenges.

    Sessions 2 and 3: Individual Sessions
    The next step is for both of you to attend an individual session, giving you the opportunity to tell me about your family of origin and for me to get a thorough personal history.

    Session 4: Couple Session
    The following session is a couple session to help you both:
    Deepen your understanding of each other
    Understand the Sound Relationship House and how your relationship fits into that model
    Develop a roadmap to reconnect as a couple

    Ideally, these first four sessions will be booked in a 2-3-week period. After the fourth session, all subsequent sessions are as a couple.

    Short history of Gottman Method Couples Therapy

    Dr John Gottman and Dr Julie Schwartz Gottman are both trained psychologists who combined scientific research and real-life counselling with thousands of couples to develop a breakthrough approach to couples counselling. Used all around the world, the Gottman Method has proven to be highly effective in restoring struggling relationships.
