Relationship Coaching
All couples go through difficult times. That's a given.
But when you've got to the point where you don't really want to be in the same room or feel like you live in a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere and want things to change, then now is the time to get help.
I am trained to be able to pick up on signals that you may be missing or are simply not getting or hearing or don't understand. I can help you respond to each other and start the communication working again for both of you, provided that both of you want to.
It may be that one of you has 'checked out' of the relationship already?
Where do you go from here?
My role is not to put two people back together who don't want to both be together. But what I will do is help you to reach a solution, find a way forward in a respectful and open way and I will remain a neutral party.
Here are some examples of topics you may want us to cover during our sessions:
- Identifying and negotiating mutual wants, needs, values and goals
- Addressing emotional and compatibility issues
- Discovering and overcoming disagreements and obstacles
- Developing mutual understanding and acceptance of differences in personality, habits and views
- Developing strategies to be able to make mutually agreeable decisions
- Developing coping mechanisms for work and home-life stresses and challenges
With the ultimate goal being building lasting trust, friendship, partnership and loyalty and of course...love.
How does it work?
I will see each participant separately initially for one session.
When you are on your own, you can each speak freely about what you feel are the issues without the other objecting, arguing or interrupting and each of you are much more likely to be honest and frank.
Seeing you separately helps me to clearly define the needs and wants of each party more easily. You can have as many sessions 1 to 1 sessions throughout the process aswell if you would like to.
You will then be invited to attend together.
Then we put strategies in place to ensure that the past does not complicate the future and feelings of anger and resentment and any previous issues can be dealt with in a much better way for both of you.
I would recommend a minimum of 4 sessions. Every couple is different, so you may need fewer or additional sessions.
Regardless of the outcome of the relationship, I will always be available to support you so that your life continues in the best and most positive way possible.
All couples are welcome here.

Testimonials
"We didn't know what to expect, but Andrea was amazing. She is patient yet focused and she has helped us massively." S & P Braintree
"I was having problems with my ex-husband and whilst he wouldn't come to the appointments, Andrea has really helped me look at everything in a much less destructive way. I know now that I will be fine!"
"All we did was argue about petty stuff. We didn't speak to each other much at all. We tried therapy but nothing improved. By chance we found Andrea. She seemed to 'get' what was happening pretty quickly and by the 4th session we actually started to laugh again together. It's been hard work but worth it." T & S, Colchester
"My husband and I were struggling with our teenage son. Andrea has been so helpful and as a result we have completely changed our approach towards him and his behaviour has improved." The Grahams. Colchester
"I have never had a great relationship with my father. My friend recently saw Andrea and sung her praises so we went. It has been a huge weight off my shoulders and my dad and I are now improving the way we talk to each other." Michelle, Westcliff-on-Sea
"My wife and I had drifted apart. By chance a mate of mine knew someone who had seen Andrea. I think that we thought that it would be a quick fix. But, we have seen her for a few months now and the difference has been amazing. We are both thankful we found such a straight forward person who knows what she's talking about. Just wish we'd gone sooner. J & S. The Rodings.
