We know your time is precious, so the first step is a free online meet & greet, at a time of your choosing (most often after hours).
Imagine that you are interviewing us, to see if what we are offering will work for you and how this may look for you and checking out that what have we to offer you that is different…..
Our intention from this first meeting with you, firstly is creating a place of safety and respect, for you to begin to gain an understanding of how we operate and particularly, why are we are so different from mainstream couples therapy. (we work as a couple is just the beginning….)
From this meet and greet, you can choose to take time to discuss before you commit, you may have more questions, and when you feel ready, you choose to begin your process. You may even choose to begin your process during the meet & greet…
It is important to be aware that we provide different levels of support, from sessions, to couples intimate getaways, to being “on call” when distress is really biting, to being on a “retainer” providing immediate support when required.
Both of us are retired farmers which provides another level of understanding for couples working together, small business’s and in remote locations, which is why we have perfected the online therapy practise.
we also live and work together, so this is real for us as well…,
so…
If during any session, you’re not satisfied, then there is no charge, and you decide….
Your specific process will reflect your needs and desires in achieving the transformation you are seeking, and also choosing a time and day that suits your busy schedules… ( our flexibility is such that we meet you in your time schedule, which can be after hours and on weekends…)
It is normal that each of you may have differing opinions in how this may look, and that is perfectly ok.
The first step is for us to have a conversation about your needs and goals.
via the free, no obligation 20 min chat via Zoom.
We establish what do you really, really want?
And, it’s ok to be unsure at this stage, the main thing we look for is are you willing to put in the energy and effort to make life changes….?
Even if you and your partner appear to have opposing goals, we trust that there will always be something in them for each of you.
We do not question your decision to be in relationship together….
We don’t tell you what to want.
We support you to identify what it is that you desire and support you in clearing obstacles might be getting in the way of you achieving it.
Once we have a sense of the transformation you are longing for, and if you choose, we’ll suggest a custom designed pathway, created just for you….
“as we know that every couple is unique, and that one type of therapy definitely does not fit all….”

What we design together is based from your most important goals.
We offer a very person centred approach based on what will be effective and meaningful for you.
We’re here to empower each of you with the knowledge and skills so that each of you can choose the life you desire…
During our time together, we and you are a team. We work collaboratively supporting each of you in achieving results that you want because you are active in the process.
We consensually bring all the tools and experience we have at our disposal in service to your healing and growth. We consistently guide you back to your deepest longings and support you to dismantle whatever is in your way.
If you’ve been in couples therapy before and it hasn’t worked, we offer a completely different way of working….
Instead of just talking, which can only go so far, you are actively learning skills that support you in building and maintaining the relationship you want.
