Sarah Louise | Imago Relationships - Couples Work

Couples Counselling Manchester City Centre

Hello there, I’m Sarah. I work with couples online worldwide and in person. I help couples overcome anything from minor hurdles to major conflict and support them as they work towards reigniting the spark. My approach is warm and I help couples inject lightness and positivity back into their relationship

Using the Imago dialogue process I hold couples in conversation to work together towards deeper understanding and connection. I've worked with couples in relationships and those who are newly dating since 2011.

If you're in a place where you feel stuck with your partner and want to work it through, then you're in the right place. Let me tell you more about how I work and more about the Imago process for couples...

Imago Couples Therapy

Have you lost the spark in your relationship or have things escalated to a place where you find that you and your partner can no longer get along? If you find connection and conversation hard right now then perhaps I can help you. 

Imago couples therapy really works for couples who are really struggling to understand each other and bring the friendship and connection back to their romantic relationship, the way it was right in the beginning. 

If you’re feeling that it’s hard to connect, it’s difficult to hear and be heard in your relationship and that you feel stuck and don’t know how to go from unstuck to connected then I would love to explore working together. 

I help couples reignite, reconnect and reimagine their relationship. The couples sessions I hold works when couples are willing to put in the work and take their relationship from a place that feels headed towards a break to rebuilding that deep connection you once had. It’s very possible and I’ve had much success working with couples. I’d love to show you how, using the Imago Dialoguing tools given during my training as a Relationship educator doing couples work. 

Just so you feel informd, I use the Imago Dialogue technique, first developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt in the 1980’s. Oprah has used it and it takes couples from a place of conflict to conscious coupling and deep connection. 

Revive and thrive

By working with me, you will be giving your relationship an incredible opportunity to revive and thrive. Not only will you be working towards that reconnection in love, but you may begin to hear and be heard in ways you and your partner have never understood one another before. I’m so passionate about this work and have your relationship at the forefront of my priorities. In the sessions your relationship and how you connect is at the forefront of my professionalism and I will safely, warmly and gently guide you both through the steps until you become proficient. 

Not only do I work with those who have been in a relationship or married for a long time, but I also work with those on their way towards long-lasting commitment who want to ensure they are maintaining their relationship and deep-connection ahead of the big day and next chapter in their dating and relating journey. It’s so important for you to both be on the same page and if you currently feel like there’s work to be done, be sure to know that I can support you in this. 

Types of issues

There are many reasons why couples come to do couples work. 

It could be around conflict, a break down in communication, blended family difficulties, struggles to communicate emotions, losing the spark and feelings you once had in the beginning, a dimming of desire or lack of intimacy. There are also couples in crisis situations such as discovering untruths, affairs, emotional infidelity and more. 

No matter how big or small your relationship issues feel right now, just know that the only way to resolve it and bring your relationship back to a place it once was or you would like it to be is with safe, deeply connecting tools and you’ve got to start somewhere. 

My approach with Imago is relentlessly positive and I have seen couples feel and reach out to each other, feeling more connected right from the first session. It’s all possible, if you give couples work a chance. 

My Imago sessions couples work just as well online on zoom as it does face to face, I can assure you. All you need is two upright dining chairs, a smartphone or laptop, and the desire to recommit to each other and to do the work!  Leave the rest to me, I’ve got you both and can’t wait to hear from you.
