couples workshops

The Getting the Love You Want weekend workshop 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.

We have been married for 45 years and struggled. This workshop helped me to understand how our unconscious self and our partners unconscious self erodes away our relationship and without the Imago skills would have imploded” - Workshop Attendee

“Rebecca creates a very safe space for sharing, engaging with your partner and getting more out of your relationship” - 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. Research shows that it is the equivalent to 3-6 months of regular Couple Therapy sessions in cognitive and experiential learning.

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

  • See how your history impacts on your adult relationships

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

  • Get to the root of your struggles, better deal with suffering and hurt you carry

  • Learn the art of safe connecting and reclaim your connection

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.
