Why choose Imago Couple’s Counselling

When was researching the couple’s counselling training I wanted to pursue, Imago Relationship Therapy stood out to me as the obvious choice.

When you see relationship therapy on TV or online, the sessions mostly consist of each person speaking to the therapist, they actually rarely speak to each other during the session.

Imago is different. Most of your Imago session will be spent speaking to each other. Don’t worry! The conversation, (which we call a dialogue in Imago), is guided by myself.

I will assist you to practise active, deep listening and honest, warm, open communication so that each dialogue feels safe to each of you, whilst still being able to express yourself and your deepest concerns.

In the first session especially we will focus on positive communication. One of you is assigned the role of listener, the other of speaker. I help the speaker to know how to start by giving them sentences to finish. An example of some are: “One thing I appreciate about you is………”. “What I want for us in our relationship is………….” “How I want to feel in our relationship is…………”

What I love about Imago is that you are learning real life communication skills during the session. We don’t just speak about your relationship we resolve them DURING the session.

My aim is that you will finish the session feeling that you understand each other more, have reconnected and have a plan for behaviour change to practise until our next session.
