Many people today feel isolated and alone in their relationships. It is a basic human need to connect so the breakdown of relationships can be extremely painful. About 15 years ago, Renee was introduced to a relationship therapy model called Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) and was amazed at how powerful this therapy is. It has been energising and so rewarding for her to see how the tools of this approach can help couples to reconnect and communicate. Through creating a warm and safe therapeutic space, a little psychoeducation and the teaching of new communication skills, Renee can help the couple’s relationship move from one of conflict to one with greater connection and joy. Conflict is seen as a normal development in a relationship and, as such, is an opportunity for growth – growth not only in the relationship but for each partner. In addition, what couples learn in the therapeutic room can be applied at home so that their new ways of communicating are not isolated to the sessions with the therapist.
