Michele | Relationship Coach & Therapist
Introduction
My name is Michele, I am a Professional Certified Relationship Coach and Mentor. I am also a qualified psychotherapist.
I work with high functioning, (often over thinking) successful men and women who know there is room for more in their love life. Compared to their business or career this is usually an area of their life that falls short of their desires and standards for themselves.
The main reasons that they are struggling in their relationship are threefold:
i) A lack of emotional safety
Due to dysfunctional societal messages about how to deal with your feelings and emotions, there is a lack of emotional 'safety' in most relationships. This creates self sabotage, anxiety, avoidance and perpetual conflict.
ii) A lack of healthy polarity.
The lack of polarity is why the majority of couples in long-term relationships experience recurring conflict, avoidance, hurt and waning physical and emotional connection. Men and women are not supposed to relate to each other in the same way but societal conditioning is doing a very cunning job of encouraging this and as a result creating disconnection and unhappiness.
Healthy polarity fundamentally involves a completely new relationship with your feelings. Most people are either numbing, trying to get rid of or trying to manage their feelings in a way that is dysfunctional and only serves to create more dysfunction. This is why so many people find themselves stuck in the blame game in their relationship never realising their innate power to create huge change.
iii) Effective nuanced communication
One size fits all communication tools rarely fail to create lasting change. Effective communication is nuanced and must also include healthy repair conversations.
At tthe end of the day, you have everything it takes to create the relationship you really want. A relationship where you feel heard and where you know you are deeply loved and cared for: where you are able to navigate life and the difficulties it can throw at you together as a team.
We are not taught how to create deeply loving and connected relationships. We must learn how to undo our conditioned patterns of behaviour and thinking, so that we can show up in healthier ways for ourselves and our partner.
I help my clients move beyond these patterns so that they can create a consistently loving, connected and intimate relationship over the long-term. I give them the tools to empower themselves and teach little known information about how men and women need to relate to each other in order to meet their differing needs.
I use a number of cognitive and somatic modalities that address the mind and the body. The body is a hugely powerful tool that is underestimated when it comes to transformation. This is where radical self acceptance and trust are born but because we are conditioned to live in our minds, we end up doubting ourselves, being highly critical of our partner and never feeling that we are able to create the change we desire.
Unfortunately society sets us up to sabotage our love lives and we deeply fear being rejected for who we really are, which is why so many people are hiding in their relationships: hiding behind conflict or avoidance. As a result of this work you and your partner will have a healthy foundation or structure to come back to time and time again that will help you move beyond the default patterns that are keeping love at arm's length.
I welcome and invite you to this life changing and relationship transforming work.

Specialisations
I specialise in relationship communication and help you to hear the difference between healthy and unhealthy language, which is not always easy to spot. I provide my couples with a strong and proven structure that gives them a place to come back to time and time again.This structure will enable you to see the difference between the parts of you who react from a place of fear and the parts of you who are capable of creating a deeply loving relationship.
When you can see and hear the difference in how they speak and behave, you are in a far stronger position to create the transformation you are looking for.
My work is designed to help you activate continued growth and transformation over the long-term.
I offer tailor made programmes depending on your situation.
It is important to acknowledge that it takes us a number of years to create the dysfunctional ways of relating that seem normal. To undo these conditioned behaviours requires a commitment to taking full responsibility for your emotional and mental well-being, otherwise it is all too easy to default back into old patterns.
In my Couples Programmes I work with each individual to begin with.
I use a Timeline Repair Healing Technique. This is a highly effective tool, which addresses the unconscious wounds and programming that influence your behaviour and thinking patterns. I also use a combination of Cognitive and Somatic Coaching and Therapy that will help you move beyond the mind that keeps you stuck where you are in your relationship.
Most common issues I support people with:
1. Communication
2. Conflict - passive aggression, arguments, defensiveness3. Avoidance - shutting down, sulking, withdrawing, stone walling
4. Emotional Connection - how to deepen your emotional connection
5. Intimacy - improving the passion & eroticism in your relationship
