Couples coaching "power hour plus "

Service Description

A one off session where we get to the heart of your biggest current challenge and explore ways to improve your situation. The focus of the sessions will be determined by you and what you need. There may be a certain topic you want to explore, or you might just need a safe space to let it all out and start crafting a way forward. No two family's stories are the same, but some of the issues couples bring to our coaching sessions are: Navigating Complex Family Structures: Clients often seek support in defining roles within step families, where responsibilities and expectations can be unclear or contested. Differing Parenting Approaches Conflict frequently arises from contrasting parenting philosophies between biological and stepparents, particularly around boundaries, discipline, and authority. Loyalty Conflicts Many individuals, both adults and children, describe feelings of being caught between competing allegiances—whether between parents, stepparents, or extended family members. Impact of Past Relationships Unresolved emotional injuries or lingering mistrust from previous partnerships can influence the current dynamic in subtle but significant ways. Challenges of Co-Parenting Logistics The demands of coordinating schedules across multiple households can lead to stress, misunderstandings, and a sense of imbalance in the relationship. Feelings of Exclusion or Disconnection Stepparents may experience a sense of “otherness,” particularly if excluded from decision-making or emotional closeness within the family system. Managing Boundaries with Former Partners Couples often seek guidance in establishing healthy, respectful boundaries with ex-partners while prioritising the wellbeing of the children involved. Communication Difficulties Miscommunication or avoidance of sensitive topics—particularly related to parenting—can erode trust and mutual understanding. Unrealistic or Unspoken Expectations Disparities in what each partner envisions for the relationship and family can create disappointment or resentment if not openly addressed. Commitment to Growth and Connection Despite the challenges, stepcouples frequently demonstrate a deep desire to strengthen their relationship and cultivate a cohesive family unit, and coaching sessions with an impartial professional can offer a valuable space for that work. Whatever it is you're looking to do, I'd love to help you on your journey!
