Relationship Workshops  Bringing you and your partner closer together 
 

Weekend couples workshops that connect you at a new level

Join other couples for a weekend relationship workshop that will help you build closeness with your partner and communicate better about the things that matter.

In this weekend workshop you will learn relationship skills together and you'll be guided through deep conversations beyond where you've been able to go before.

You will learn how to:

​​

• Untangle repeating arguments

• Be heard and understood by each other

• Forgive emotional injuries

• Reconnect through intimacy

• Celebrate your strengths as a couple

• Commit to ways to keep your love alive

​

You will be supported step by step by the two experienced relationship counsellors running the course.

​

Hold Me Tight  is an internationally acclaimed workshop method based on the theory and practice of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). You and your partner are introduced to a new understanding of what you need in your relationship to feel safe, appreciated and loved.

​

Experience the Seven Transformative Conversations

The workshop is structured around seven transformative conversations taken from the book 'Hold Me Tight' by Dr Sue Johnson, the co-founder of EFT.

The 7 Conversations: 
 

1.  Recognising Demon Dialogues:

You and your partner identify your negative, destructive and self-reinforcing patterns of arguing. This is the foundation for learning a new language to share your deeper feelings and needs.

2.  Finding the Raw Spots: 

Here, you learn to look beyond immediate, impulsive reactions to identify the raw spots and recognise your hidden emotions.

3.  Revisiting a Rocky Moment: 

This conversation gives you chance to take a real conflict situation you have had together and unpack the patterns that occur.

4.  Hold Me Tight Conversation: 

This conversation is at the heart of the workshop. It moves you and your partner towards being more accessible, emotionally responsive, and deeply engaged with each other. You each share and hear each other's vulnerabilities.

5.  Forgiving Injuries: 

Emotional injuries may be forgiven but they never disappear. So they need to become integrated into your conversations as demonstrations of renewal and connection. Knowing how to find and offer forgiveness empowers you to strengthen your bond.

6.  Bonding Through Sex and Touch: 

Here you explore the emotional connection that leads to better sex and how better sex creates deeper emotional connection.

7.  Keeping Your Love Alive:

This last conversation is about learning the skills to maintain and celebrate your loving connection. You will be guided to together choose and commit to new practices that renew and strengthen your bond.

The workshop includes:

​

• Short, information-packed presentations 

• Simple, practical (and some fun) exercises

• Videos of real couples having each of the 7 conversations

• Private time with your partner to work through the 7 guided, in-depth conversations over the 2 days

• Q&A sessions
