FIND EACH OTHER AGAIN WITH THE MARRIAGE MAKEOVER WORKSHOP
How are you feeling about your relationship:
Do you feel that your partner:
OR IS YOUR PARTNER…
If any of the above rings true for you and your relationship, this workshop is for you!!! , Be sure to comfort yourself that this is a typical scenario that almost all couples experience after being together a while, and having to cope with stress of daily life, raising kids, work stress, family and other commitments.
Here is how the workshop will help you and your relationship:
The workshop is based on proven theories and practical exercises to primarily teach conscious communication between partners. The workshop does not deal with who is wrong and who is right or topics of arguments, rather it will look at the reasons for lack of connection and teaches you tools to get you and your partner out of the destructive cycle of endless arguments. Each partner learns about their own and their partner’s triggers and needs and are taught why people so often get caught up in struggles, conflicts and difficulties and how they are able to step out of these into opportunities for growth and connection.
The workshop will inspire you and teach you

About me:
I am a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, trained in Sweden. After 12 years of living in Sweden, an working as a family therapist, I came home to my beloved Cape Town and opened up my practice, Constantia Hills Family Therapy. I counsel individuals, couples and families. After seeing the demand for couples therapy, I decided to do workshops for couples to give them what I call a ”starter booster pack”, which gives and inspires them with all the tools to reconnect and change their relationship to reach it’s fullest potential.
I have been married since 1999 and have 3 children (17,15,10)

- Jealous
