Briony is trained in and practises both Gottman Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Gottman Therapy is based on the work of John and Julie Gottman whose research with many couples over time has identified the factors that make for satisfying and lasting relationships. EFT is known as a tested and proven couple intervention and is based on the principles of attachment science.
I see couples together in the first instance; separately on one occasion each; and then I see the couple together for the remaining sessions. I may request a couple complete a confidential online assessment which can assist in the counselling process. We identify areas that may need to change in the relationship and how a couple can do that, for example, ways of resolving conflict and improving communication. The couple will learn ways to plan for their own individual and shared goals and positivity in the relationship. We develop a plan for going forward.
