Why couples-coaching? And what is the difference with couples-therapy?
Coaching approaches couples from a different perspective. Unlike therapy, which looks at the past, coaching looks into the future. It emphasizes the resources and skills that in one hand, each spouse needs to develop individually, and in the other, the resources and skills that need to be developed as a couple – in order to achieve a situation of happiness and marital stability that they are not able to achieve with their present skillset. It’s therefore a look from the present and into the future – regardless of what happened in the past.

Once that new skillset is developed – very rapidly it is possible to change the way each spouse sees the relationship. The change in outlook allows their relationship problems not to be resolved – but to dissolve. What once one saw as a problem – under a new perspective, the problem disappears. Our powerful coaching frameworks are built in a way that allows for deep breakthroughs and paradigm shifts.

Why coaching couples with the Enneagram?
Because spouses are different. And therefore “one size fits all” marriage advice doesn’t work. The Enneagram doesn’t use a generic approach to relationship advice. As a superb tool for self-discovery and insight, it provides couples with an excellent and impartial way to examine their similarities and differences. It offers a lens through which a couple can examine their individual uniqueness without suggesting that one is right and the other is wrong. In the Enneagram, no type is better than another, and each spouse is seen as potentially contributing a special gift to the relationship. The experience of learning the Enneagram makes it possible to see other perspectives and be compassionate to loved ones.

The Enneagram is a tool for self-discovery and self-growth that will allow each spouse to understand her or his personality type, what are the gifts that each brings to the relationship, what are their particular needs and preferences, and how each partner can best support the other. It will also teach you what not to do: how not to speak to your spouse’s specific personality type, what are the things that anger them the most and other pitfalls worth avoiding!
