Helping you create a deeper,
More Connected Relationship
All couples have their ups and downs, people say, but how many people see each day as a gift with their partner? How many couples see the ‘downs’ as opportunities for deeper connecting and greater intimacy (in-to-me-see)?
Getting to this place means learning to be with yourself, and then with your partner differently. Many of us look to our parents for our relationship skills but times have changed and this modern world requires a different way of relating to one another. This includes different ways of communicating face to face and, nowadays, electronically too. In the bedroom communication is of paramount importance. The way we relate to each other sexually can cause either the biggest, seemingly insurmountable problems, or be the most enriching connecting experiences ever.
Modern day relationships call for us all to be more aware of ourselves as individuals first and foremost. This requires honesty and courage. We can work with you individually or as a couple to guide you through the various techniques available to help you connect more deeply than ever before. We guide you from our own personal experiences and our experiences helping couples interested in this deeply rewarding work.
We can’t promise fairy tale endings, but we can promise to guide you to what is best for you both, as individuals and as partners.
How does Couples Work work?
However your relationship is, if there is a little willingness we can help. From stressful to blissful relating, we teach simple, clear practises to move relating to another level. Two hour sessions are best to allow everyone to be heard in a safe, respectful space.
We work at your pace, if new practises want to be learnt, we help with that, or maybe enhance what you are doing already.
We all know relating can be serious and challenging at times, therefore we bring (appropriate) humour and light-heartedness to each session, this can release the tension and open the way forward.
What’s a Couples Work session like?
You can imagine there’s a lot to talk about. Therefore balancing time to discuss things, with learning practical useful skills is key to ongoing effectiveness. Six sessions is ideally a minimum to ensure progress, especially if there is lots to unravel. Once a week to start and then possibly more spaced to allow integration of skills into daily life. If interested we can suggest books, videos, courses etc to enhance the work.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Sarah and Daniel have opened our eyes to a whole new way of looking at our relationship. They’ve helped us create a more open and loving relationship even when we thought we were already there. Everything in our sessions have been light hearted and fun at the same time with each section being approached very gently and clearly making everything easy to follow as not to overwhelm. Sarah and Daniel work so well as a team and accommodate so well to create a ‘safe space’ in which to learn from. We would highly recommend any couple to give these sessions a go and to take your relationships to a whole new level.
We have found Daniel to be a sensitive guide towards more truthful and loving communication with deeper listening and understanding. He demonstrates methods that can be practiced at home with ongoing positive results, and is generously available for any queries these may generate. We have found Daniel’s combination of spiritual wisdom and psychological expertise invaluable. Very many thanks. Anne and Neil
