Couples Therapy

Motivating Marriages Psychology offers internationally recognised, evidenced based therapies including Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples. Adrian and Kerrie are both Certified Gottman Therapists and have completed an externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples.

GMCT is based on 40 years of research conducted by clinical psychologist Dr. John Gottman, of the Gottman Institute in Seattle, Washington, USA. It’s focus is on teaching couples within a clinical treatment setting, how to recognise the negative behaviours within their relationship that are causing breakdown; and to teach couples how to implement empirically researched and tested skills to address these challenges. 

EFT is based on 30 years of research conducted by Dr. Sue Johnson. To flourish in our relationships we all need deep and secure emotional connection. It is painful when we are disconnected from those who matter to us. EFT is an attachment-based model of therapy that focuses on building secure bonds between couples, enhancing their wellbeing.
