We are excited to announce we are presenting Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 Professional Training - in person - in Melbourne, 19-20 March 2026.

Level 1 in Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a truly inspiring workshop, offering you new insights into treatment for couples who struggle, using research-based assessments and effective interventions.

Our practical, emotion-focused, and highly effective approach is based on Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s four decades of research with more than 3,000 couples. It is the most extensive study ever done on marital stability and divorce prediction.

In this workshop, you will be provided with a research-based roadmap for helping couples compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams based on the Sound Relationship House Theory.

You will learn research-based strategies and tools to help couples successfully manage conflict. You will gain skills to empower partners to dialogue about their worst gridlocked issues by uncovering their underlying dreams, history, and values. You will gain tools to help couples process fights and heal their hurts, and techniques for partners to deepen their intimacy and minimize relapse.

After this workshop you will complete a quiz to gain your official Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 Training Certificate as well as a CPD certificate of 12 hours.
