Elizabeth (Liz) Neal, Registered Psychologist (MAAPi). Certified Gottman Couples Therapist. BA (Psych), M.Hlth.Sci (Beh Sci): USYD

There's nothing more rewarding than working with couples as they develop better patterns of conflict management and connection.

But when I started my career I found, like many clinicians, that my couples clients were overwhelming and challenging.

I knew I needed more tools if I wanted to help couples heal, so I started formally training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (with Dr John Gottman himself).

It transformed my career and my marriage.

As one of just three Certified Gottman Method Trainers in Australia, I’m passionate about ensuring all clinicians have the best tools for communicating within a partnership.

That’s why I’m leading one of Australia’s only Gottman Method Couples Therapy trainings.

I hope you’ll join me for two-days of intensive learning where I’ll give you the proven roadmap you need to help the couples in your clients — so that you too can find working with couples deeply rewarding.

Why Choose The Gottman Method?
 

Developed by Drs John and Julie Gottman and used by clinicians for more than 40 years, Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a step-by-step roadmap that leverages the most extensive research ever done on marital stability and divorce prediction...

And translates that insight into a comprehensive assessment process, a series of practical interventions, and resources clients can use outside the therapy room.

The Gottman Method also delves into the neurobiology of relationships, which helps clients understand why they behave the way they do.

Put that all together and you get a proven approach you can use from the first session to help couples lovingly manage their conflicts, deepen their intimacy, and share their life purpose.

When you become a Level 1 Certified Gottman Therapist...
 

...you can have clients who sing your praises with feedback like:

"Before we started therapy with you, we were on the brink of giving up on our relationship.
But thanks to your guidance, we feel closer than ever."

See what your colleagues are saying about Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy!

" This was the best seminar I have ever attended. It not only provided me a wealth of valuable tools in my practice but challenged some ideas I have held. "

" I particularly enjoyed the excellent clinical films and found them especially useful in understanding the assessments and interventions that were taught. Appreciated seeing actual examples of sessions and examples of different ideas/thoughts of what to say and how to implement interventions. "

" This was the single most useful conference I have attended in twenty-three years of clinical practice. Clear, concise, useful! Thank you so much for your presentation, your work, and your humor. "

Gottman's Model of Repair in Relationships: A critical and often overlooked factor in happy and enduring relationships ($66 value)
with Elizabeth Neal | {1165084_Elizabeth (Liz)_NealWithBio}
 

Conflict is defined as a clashing of two people's expectations. Even happy and stable couples experience conflict. The crucial difference lies in the couple's ability to repair their negativity, not in their ability to avoid it all together.

Successful repair is profitable to the relationship because it allows couples to deepen their understanding of their partner, the relationship, and the system they work within. This training will focus on the principle of repair as an essential component of effective couples therapy.

 
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Skills for Working with Couples: Learning to incorporate an EFT approach and skills into couples therapy work ($199 value)
with Ari Badaines, PhD | Click here for information about Ari Badaines
 

Developed by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg in 1985, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a short-term systematic intervention designed to reduce distress in adult love relationships while creating more secure attachment bonds.

EFT uses the power of emotion to evoke new and empathic responses between partners within their key interactions. These new emotional responses to a partner’s fears and needs help to create what Sue Johnson calls a new relationship “Dance” where rigidity is replaced by expansiveness and flexibility.

You’ll discover methods and skills to create a safe and collaborative environment, focus on what is most effective, and assist clients to free themselves from the intense emotional stories that they continue to repeat, and which contribute to ‘relationship deterioration’.
