How coaching can help

 
 

Coaching isn’t just for when things get bad – it’s also for helping you sort out the things that are starting to get in the way of the kind of relationship you want, especially when you have big changes like the addition of kids.

 

Kind of like ‘insurance’ for the future of your relationship!

 

Through coaching, you will:

  • Discover new things about each other and understand what’s underneath the sadness, frustration, anger, and loss of connection and what to do

  • Strengthen your understanding and management of uncomfortable emotions/feelings

  • Explore your need to feel loved, safe, valued and respected and create more of that in your relationship

  • Learn strategies to understand yourselves and each other, so you can react differently and create more connection and fun in your relationship

  • Discover your deeper values and find common ground on parenting

  • Rebuild your relationship in this new environment as parents, finding ways to connect, listen, understand, and be understood.

  • Learn to communicate with less arguments and frustration and create communication habits that bring you closer together.

  • Discover your strengths and develop compassion and understanding.

  • Learn to let go of past hurts and enjoy the present moments, looking forward to the future.

  • Build a strong foundation for the future, ensuring you have a solid relationship going forward.

"I did the Deep Dive with Sharlene because I was having trouble in my relationship and I didn’t feel able to talk to my partner about it and I didn't really want to talk to anyone else about it.
She created such a wonderful safe space for me to talk honestly about my feelings

And at the same time was able to show me ways in which I can improve the situation... which has been a huge help in my life going forward - thank you so much!"
