Simone can offer you an online questionnaire that can pinpoint areas of strength and areas of improvement in your relationship.

Simone can show you how to use these principles to help you and your partner to become a team.

​

Relational Life Therapy: Terry Real is a renowned family therapist who focuses on how men and women can work together for a better relationship. He describes how toxic individualism can damage relationships and lead to emotional isolation. We are socialized to deny our emotions and push away vulnerability, which can lead to feelings of shame. He encourages clients to embrace vulnerability and seek deeper fulfilling connections with their partners. Working together, using these principles, Simone can inspire a greater relational joy in your marriage. 

 

Emotionally Focused Therapy: Sue Johnson is a leading expert in, the field of couples counselling. She focuses on learning to express emotions to create safety and to bond in your relationship. EFT identifies patterns of emotional disconnection and develops new ways of communicating with one another. She believes humans all need an emotional attachment to survive. Learn to share your deepest fears, hopes, and dreams and to listen with empathy and understanding. Using this guideline Simone can support closeness and the quality of your relationship. â€‹
