Introducing…Relationship Foundations
Posted 2nd of February 2018 by Gill Wier
Are you preparing for marriage, planning to move in with your partner or about to start a family together? Our new Relationship Foundations course supports you to build a strong foundation that will help to future-proof your relationship. It’s a great opportunity to talk together about the things that matter and invest in your relationship.
Our couples counsellors Gill Wier and Sarah Saatzer have put together insights which we have gathered over the years of working with couples as to ways to strengthen and consolidate a relationship and to help avoid the pitfalls and downward spirals which some relationships can run into.
A relationship doesn’t just happen on its own, it needs time, investment, work, commitment and a spattering of knowledge and wisdoms. This course will give you some practical tools to help you lay strong foundations for your relationship. We will help you develop your skills of effective listening and conflict resolution and provide the opportunity to discuss your expectations of your relationship at different life stages.
What does the course involve?
You and your partner will meet with one of our trained and experienced couples counsellors weekly or fortnightly for five 90 minute sessions. These can be arranged to suit you during daytimes, evenings or weekends. We will invite you to complete a pre-course questionnaire so that we can learn a bit about you before the course. This will enable us to tailor the sessions specifically to the needs of your relationship, life stage and situation. There will be some tasks for you to complete together in between sessions so that you gain the maximum benefit from the course.
How is the course different from counselling?
While counselling allows you time and space to explore issues in your relationship the Relationship Foundations course will be more structured and directive with a mixture of input from the trainer and opportunities for discussion with your partner. If you feel that your relationship is in crisis we would recommend having couples counselling first, with the option of taking the course as follow up support once you are in a more stable position. If you’re not sure if this is the right course for you, just give Gill a ring on 0750449224 to talk it through.
How much does it cost?
The course costs £300 for five sessions 90 minute sessions, payable by cash, cheque or bank transfer.
