POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS

POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS: COUPLES MOVING FORWARD
Over the past 20 years we have focused on close adult relationships, working with couples and individuals who want to build more positive intimate connections. By building on these strengths, they have been able to achieve their goals and dreams in life.

As co-coaches, we have adapted, broadened, and developed many new exercises based on the principles of Positive Psychology to use with our clients.

We coach together as a couple, supporting couples to move forward both personally and as a couple. Reflecting our own journey, we feel that a strong positive relationship is a couple's greatest asset. By supporting each other in positive ways -

Each person can grow, the relationship can grow and the power of the couple can grow

Far greater levels of enjoyment, fulfillment and purpose in life can be achieved

They can meet the demands of parenting, work & the community, with confidence & mutual support.

We know it is not always easy being a couple. Supportive couples' coaching can make such a huge difference.

ABOUT DEBRA AND GORDON
We bring a unique blend of skills to our coaching, and a wide variety of experience. Gordon has spanned several careers including engineering, music, naturopathy, learning & behavioural difficulties with children, couples counselling and developing and teaching the Counselling Kinesiology workshops. Debra started as a nurse and moved onto bodywork (therapeutic and oriental massage), homoeopathy and then assisted Gordon in preparing and presenting the Counsellling Kinesiology workshops. More recently we have brought all of our skills together in couples' coaching.

We are maried and have two children, our 19 year old daughter and 15 year old son. Living by the beach on the Sunshine coast, we have been together for over 20 years. We love working & playing together, and have built a lifestyle we really enjoy .

VIRTUAL COACHING
Building on the advances in technology, we offer live couples coaching over the internet via webcam and videoconferencing software. All you will need is a webcamera! We can even work with you when you are in different locations via three-way videoconferencing. This works really well for couples doing coaching from their separate work locations or when one of you is travelling.

We also do four way phone coaching (we always coach couples together). Some couples prefer this anonymity and it is amazing how close you can feel over the phone. Of course, we also do face-to-face coaching but then you would have to come to our idyllic setting on the Sunshine Coast.

PRESENTATION

On March 9th 2007 presented a talk for the MCAPP -
"USING POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY IN RELATIONSHIP COACHING"

"As co-coaches, Gordon and Debra have adapted, broadened, and developed many new exercises based on the principles of Positive Psychology to use with their clients.
They will share some of these exercises, as well as their innovative approach to using couples' individual and mutual VIA strengths to add value to their relationships.
Gordon and Debra will also present a practical exercise for individuals seeking a relationship, to help them identify if compatible character strengths are present in potential partners.
In couples coaching, we need to be able to support a couple to do the work to make the difference. This issue of 'concordance' will also be addressed."
