The Gottman Method.
What is The Gottman Method?
The Gottman Method Couples Therapy is an evidence-based approach that offers practical, proven strategies for relationship challenges. This method focuses on:
building a deeper understanding,
creating respectful dialogue
developing skills that support long-term happiness.
developing closeness and friendship behaviours,
addressing conflict productively
building a life of shared meaning together
Kerry has undergone specific, rigorous training to become a Level 2 Gottman Method Couples Therapy Practitioner.
“All relationships, even the most successful ones, have conflict. It is unavoidable. Fortunately, our research shows that it’s not the appearance of conflict, but rather how it’s managed that predicts the success or failure of a relationship.”
Kerry has also completed specific training with The Gottman Institute for:
The Gottman Relationship Checkup
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
Treating Affairs and Trauma
Kerry integrates her expertise into each session, ensuring that therapy is personalised to meet the specific needs of each couple.
