Clinicians at CSC utilise The Gottman Method in their work and are Level 1 trained.

This approach is based on over 40 years of research and integrates evidenced based interventions to help couples better manage conflict, increase intimacy, respect and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the relationship.

CSC clinicians aim to help couples build stronger relationships overall and healthier ways to cope with issues as they arise in the future.

What is the process?

The Gottman Method approach involves a comprehensive 3-part assessment process designed to get a clear understanding of your relationship in order to make informed decisions around treatment interventions.

All following sessions are 50 minutes.

1st Session

The first session is 90 minutes and you will meet your clinician as a couple. This is an opportunity to share what has brought you to couples therapy and explore the history of your relationship. Following this session you will be sent the Gottman Relationship Check-up. This is an online assessment that you and your partner will complete separately. The assessment is a holistic look across your relationship and will help us to identify the strengths and challenges in your relationship.

2nd Session

The second session is 50 minutes and your clinician will meet with you and your partner separately to give you both an opportunity to share your thoughts, feelings and perspectives on the relationship.

3rd Session

The third session is 50 minutes and you will meet your clinician as a couple where they will talk you through the assessment findings. Your clinican will support you to develop goals for therapy and work collaboratively with you to decide on the frequency and duration of sessions and identify the research-based recommendation for therapy.
