The Gottman Method

What is The Gottman Method?

The Gottman Method is a form of couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It is based on over four decades of research and focuses on improving relationship dynamics through practical, evidence-based strategies.

Core Components of The Gottman Method

The therapy uses a structured approach to enhance communication, resolve conflict, and deepen emotional connection. Couples learn techniques to build trust, repair emotional injuries, and increase intimacy. These strategies are aimed at fostering a long-lasting and satisfying relationship.

Benefits of The Gottman Method

  • Improved communication skills
  • Enhanced emotional connection
  • Better conflict resolution
  • Stronger relationship satisfaction

The Gottman Method is suitable for couples seeking to improve their relationship, whether they are in crisis or simply looking to strengthen their bond.

Rosie Dee Brighton

Rosie Dee

Psychotherapist

I'm a humanistic psychotherapist working with individuals and couples, and I bring empathy, hope and creativity to my work. I am interested and curious about what it means and feels like to be you, and I really believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a vessel for growth and change. It is a privilege to do this work, and to be a part of the exploration of your life story, who you are and what matters to you.

Andy Wolage

Therapeutic Counsellor

Sometimes life is really hard. Everything feels like too much. We can get overwhelmed with guilt for not coping, shame for having failed in the past and sometimes we can end up not really liking ourselves very much. We might self medicate with substances or other behaviours which we know don't really help, but they seem better than nothing. But they just perpetuate the cycle. I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to organise and reframe those overwhelming feelings and see the wood for the trees. I can help you understand yourself better and to begin to look in the mirror and like what you see.
