couples workshops

Save time and money by attending the Imago Getting the Love You Want weekend workshop. This workshop is the cost of less than four couple therapy sessions. Research shows that it is the equivalent to 4-6 months of regular Couple Therapy sessions in cognitive and experiential learning, all in one weekend. Attending a workshop will fast track your progress and help you get the love you want sooner.

It is an intensive and immersive two-day experience that will take you on a journey and get to the heart of your relationship. It will provide the space and safety needed to fully focus on your partner, yourself and your relationship. This workshop is suitable for all couples, from new or engaged couples to those that have been together for decades. It’s for those that find themselves in serious strife as well as those wanting to nurture an already good relationship.

Bec’s warmth, knowledge, humour and guidance was the perfect energy. That coupled with the powerful framework that Imago provides, meant for a wonderfully engaging and empowering experience. We got so much more out of it than expected on so many levels. Leaving very happy, connected and full of hope and knowledge” - Workshop Attendee

“Rebecca creates a very safe space for sharing, engaging with your partner and getting more out of your relationship” - Workshop Attendee

“Such a hands-on, practical workshop that addresses the realities of relationships. Brilliant help” - Workshop Attendee

The workshop is based on Imago Theory which was developed by Harville Hendrix’s and Helen La Kelly and outlined in their best-selling book, ‘Getting the Love You Want’. It was developed over a 16-year period and is offered around the world. The workshop can be a standalone experience or a valuable addition to Couple Therapy.

It is not a quick fix. The workshop provides a realistic path to a safe and passionate relationship or marriage, a roadmap of the journey and the tools needed to get you there.

In the workshop I’ll help you:

  • See conflict not only as a problem, but as a great opportunity for growth

  • Learn the essential tools to help resolve conflict

  • See how your history impacts on your adult relationships

  • More deeply understand yourself and your partner and see things from another perspective

  • Create and model a stronger and happier relationship for children

  • Learn the art of safe connecting and re-discover the joy in your relationship

The workshop includes:

  • Mini lectures about the purpose and dynamics of your relationship

  • Individual reflection and writing using the “Getting the Love You Want” Couples’ Manual

  • Demonstrations of communication skills

  • Practicing new ways of communicating with your partner.

While the workshop is conducted in a group environment it is not group therapy. You are not required to share with the group. You share with your partner in a safe, comfortable and confidential manner.
