Relationship Coaching
We believe that love should be given a chance, and that there are relationships that can be saved, if only the people involved take that first step and make that last ditch effort to save their relationship.Our approach towards couples therapy is oriented not only towards solving the problems the couple is facing with each other, but to revive the feeling of love and affection they have towards each other.
"We teach you life skills that will empower you to be your own therapist and coach"
We would introduce you to a ground-breaking approach called Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) a psychological, science-based model of behaviour change, supported by a vast body of scientific research. A mindfulness-based model for handling difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively.
Also known as Acceptance & Commitment Training (ACT) and used in Executive Coaching within the business and corporate world. ACT interventions in the workplace are highly effective for improving performance, job satisfaction, innovation and motivation to increasing resilience to developing leadership behaviours.
ACT is a 3rd wave intervention that has evidence based cognitive-behavioural origins. Building upon both the strengths and weaknesses of traditional Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

What is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) gets its name from one of its core messages: accept what is out of your personal control, and commit to value based action that improves and enriches your life. The aim of ACT (which is pronounced 'act') is to maximise human potential with psychological flexibility for a rich, full and meaningful life, despite unhelpful thinking.
Acceptance:
Making room for painful feelings, urges and sensations, and allowing them to come and go without a struggle. Learn resilience to improve the ability to accpet unpleasent emotions without attembing to chnage them
Defusion:
Distancing from, and letting go of, unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and memories. Learn problem solving skills by recognising unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours that don't work and you struggle with. Stop struggling and start living.
Observing Self:
Separating your thinking mind from your observing self. Develop and learn to adapt a more positive and effective mindset. Seeing things from a different perspective and from a better view point.
Commited Action:
Learn how to set goals that are consistent with your values, that can be achieved through commited action. Taking a more positive commitment to personal development and life goals, short term, medium and long term goals.
Mindfulness:
Learn how to focus on the present moment, thus your actions are more consistent with the values you hold. Contact with the present moment is engaging fully with all your senses, your here-and-now experience, with an attitude of openness and curiosity.
Values:

ACT Life Skills Workshops
Our series of courses and workshops are designed to help you recognise, understand and then implement the skills and strategies that will enable you to get the best out of yourself and those around you.ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) "Accept What You Can't Control And Take Committed Action In Line With Your Values. "
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a talking therapy and gets it name from one of its core messages: acceptance what is out of your personal control, and commit to action that improves and enriches your life.
The aim of ACT is to maximise the human potential for a rich, full and meaningful life and does this by:
a) Teaching you psychological skills to deal with your painful thoughts and feelings effectively - in such a way that they have much less impact and influence over you (these are known as Mindfulness skills).
- b) Helping you to clarify what is truly important and meaningful to you - i.e your values - then use that knowledge to guide, inspire and motivate you to change your life for the better.
- c) Empowering you to move forward by taking committed action despite the struggles in life that you may have with your unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
