A workshop combining psychological insight, practical exercises and evidence-based relationship research based on Gottmans work.

About the workshop

Healthy relationships are not built on love alone. They are shaped by the ways we communicate, respond to conflict, create emotional safety, and understand ourselves and one another.

This three-hour workshop offers a calm and supportive space to explore what helps relationships thrive. It combines short presentations, guided reflection, practical exercises, and evidence-based tools drawn from the Gottman Method.

The workshop also draws on more than 15 years of therapeutic work with individuals and couples.

What you'll explore

Why love alone is often not enough

Emotional safety and trust

Understanding conflict and repair

Practical communication tools based on the Gottman Method

Applying these ideas in everyday life

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is designed for adults who would like to better understand themselves and their relationships.

You are welcome whether you:

• attend on your own or with a partner

• are in a relationship or currently single

• identify as heterosexual or LGBTQ+

How we work

The workshop combines short presentations, psychological insight, practical exercises and guided reflection.

Sharing personal experiences is always optional. There is no expectation to talk about your private life or relationship. Our aim is to create a respectful, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable learning at their own pace.
