Hello, and a warm welcome to you! With so many therapeutic methods available, the journey of finding couples counselling that works for you and your partner can sometimes feel overwhelming. One of the most research-backed and effective strategies is the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy. We’re here to introduce you to this empowering approach in a clear, engaging, and professional manner.
The Gottman Method, developed by Dr. Julie Gottman and Dr. John Gottman, is a form of couples therapy that’s based on over 40 years of research on relationship stability. This method is designed to help couples build stronger relationships overall and effectively manage conflict.
Julie and John Gottman also founded the Gottman Institute. The Gottman Institute conducts research and provides a variety of accessible resources about the Gottman Method. To learn more about the Gottman Method and its applications, visit the Gottman Institute website: https://www.gottman.com/

The Gottman Method first assesses the relationship health through interviews and questionnaires to understand its strengths and challenges.
The therapy then follows a three-stage process:
During the assessment process, the therapist spends time with each partner individually and as a couple to talk honestly about their relationship dynamics and history and to identify personal and shared goals.
The couple and couples therapist work together to improve interactions and nurture appreciation for each other. This stage includes techniques to enhance friendship, manage conflict, deepen the emotional connection, and create shared meaning.
As progress is made, therapy sessions are reduced, with the couple applying the skills learned in therapy to their daily life. The focus here is to ensure ongoing, sustained improvement beyond the therapy room.
Going to see a certified Gottman Therapist is ideal for couples seeking to enrich their relationship, improve communication, and replace negative conflict patterns. It’s also beneficial for couples dealing with issues like infidelity, financial stress, or differences in parenting styles. The Gottman Method can be adapted to suit all types of relationships, regardless of sexual orientation, socio-cultural background, or marital status.
