The Gottman Method and Love Lab Research
★★★★★ 5 Star Google Review: Marriage Counselling: Couples Package 2023:
Ghita provided real strategies that can be implemented to prevent conflict and more empathy within our relationships. We were able to be truthful and honest within ourselves from better self reflection and then she gave us the tools to be able to communicate our needs effectively. We both learnt how to actively listen to one another and remember the other person's needs are different. Ghita was absolutely warm and welcoming, would definitely recommend her intensive 3 Step Program, it has saved our marriage. - Nicole Eggleton (Coomera).
Developed in the 1980s by Dr. John Gottman and his wife, Dr. Julie Swartz-Gottman, the Gottman approach is underpinned by nearly 40 years of research.
