The Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a skills-based couples therapy approach created by married duo John and Julie Gottman. Grounded in 35 years of empirical research on the elements that contribute to couples' success or failure, their observations allow the Gottmans to predict with 90% accuracy whether a couple will divorce or stay together. This method offers practical tools and strategies to help couples enhance intimacy, respect and affection. It emphasizes emotional awareness and expression, skill building for managing conflicts and building friendship, and the creation of shared meaning together, ultimately guiding couples toward a deeper understanding of one another and improved communication skills. The Gottman Method is beneficial for couples facing challenges, those looking to strengthen their bond, or couples seeking a solid foundation through premarital counselling.
