Types of Couples Coaching
The clinic offers two coaching packages. One specifically designed to meet the challenges of clients with relationships impacted by neurodivergence and the other a relationship crisis model.
Neurodiversity in relationships
Coaching designed to meet the challenges of couples whose relationship is impacted by Neurodivergence.
Couples in Crisis
Coaching designed to meet the needs of couples who have reached a crisis point in their relationship.
Neurodiverse Couples Coaching Package
Initial consultation – we willcover family of origin dynamics but the main focus is on the presenting issues . Whether neurodivergence is present, the dynamics that are being played out in your couple and what may help.
We will follow up with six coaching sessions that cover:
- The couple dynamic – initial attraction and couple fit – how it has moved to its current state of disrepair.
- Communication issues.
- Emotional dysregulation – it’s cause and effect on your couple
- Executive function issues that impact the couple
- The mental loading of couple and how it is distributed within the couple – the impact inequality has on the dynamic
- A ‘Couple Deal’ for the next six months
If you would like six follow up sessions those focus on the practical integration of earlier lessons, consolidation and strategies going forward.
We can explore intimacy and connection if that is needed.
Relationship Crisis Couples Coaching Package
As we know there are many reasons for couples to seek help with their relationships but often couples come to me in crisis.
Either the slow creep of disconnection, loss of respect, inequality and disappointment has taken its toll and they may be close to separating.
Or, a dramatic event has caused a serious schism that the couple can no longer manage. For example affairs, debt ,redundancy and secrets.
- This package is designed to manage the current situation. Whilst there will be investigation into the past, the focus is on restoring a dynamic that facilitates communication.
- We focus on the behaviours and situations that close down the ability of the couple to truly look at the crisis together.
- Communication, reactive behaviour and its triggers,
- The couple connection and how it has been lost whether that is due to work, jobs, hardship, illness or one partner giving up on the hope of repair.
The sessions are designed to be carried out fortnightly so that there is enough time between sessions for the couple to think about what they want to work on.
