Frequently Asked Questions
What is relationship coaching and how does it work?
Relationship coaching is a practical and forward-focused process that helps you improve communication and connection and understanding within your relationship. We work together in real time to identify patterns and build new ways of relating that feel healthier and more effective.
How is relationship coaching different from counselling or therapy?
Relationship coaching focuses on the present and future rather than analysing the past in depth. It’s an active and collaborative process where I guide and challenge and support you to create change during the session rather than simply reflecting on it.
What issues can relationship coaching help with?
Relationship coaching can support with communication problems and recurring arguments and feeling disconnected and rebuilding trust and navigating change and strengthening emotional intimacy.
Do all partners need to attend relationship coaching?
Yes. Relationship coaching is designed as a shared process and works best when both partners are involved so we can work directly with your dynamic in real time. If we identify that additional individual coaching would be beneficial at any stage we can agree this together as part of the process.
How quickly will we see results from relationship coaching?
Many couples notice shifts within the first few sessions because we work actively with your patterns in real time. Lasting change develops through consistency and applying what you learn between sessions.
Can relationship coaching support ethical non-monogamous relationships?
Yes. Relationship coaching can support ethical non-monogamous relationships including open relationships and polyamory. The focus is on creating clarity and strengthening communication and maintaining trust across all partners involved. We work with your agreed relationship structure to explore boundaries and expectations and emotional needs so that everyone feels heard and respected. The aim is to build secure and honest connection within whatever relationship model you choose
