 FAQs

  • The fee is per couple.

  • Yes! The workshop is open to couples of all ages, sexual orientations, types of commitment (monogamous, polyamorous, open, CNM/ENM, etc), religious beliefs, etc.

  • Yes. If you are dealing with ongoing infidelity, substance use issues or domestic violence, this workshop is not recommended. In these situations, clinical counselling is the safer and more appropriate option.

  • The Gottman Method utilizes cutting-edge relationship science to help couples become “masters” of their relationships rather than “disasters.” It’s a structured, goal-oriented approach with strategies built on empirical data from Dr. John Gottman’s four decades of research with over 3,000 couples.

  • Emotionally-Focused Therapy is based on 25 years of research by Dr. Sue Johnson and colleagues. Dr. Johnson has found we can get stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns when our feelings overwhelm us, especially when we may not have strong skills in connecting securely with others. Increasing our awareness of these patterns can help us build healthier, stronger, more long-lasting relationships.
