Are you struggling with conflict with the people you love the most?

Relationship mediation and coaching can open new doors that seem to be locked. The underlying relationship issues and patterns that are blocking you can appear immovable, yet if you are motivated (and I take it you are, since you are here) it is possible to transmute this stuck-ness.

At Now Relate we mediate, coach and educate to create a profound heart connection that supports you to go places you haven’t yet gone. The revolutionary model, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) underpins our approach.

Embracing our differences
leads to rich, strong relationships

Growth trying to happen

If you have conflict or feel stuck in your relationship, there is growth trying to happen - something absolutely new, often a core issue or a precious dream, hidden within the struggling. Once this is able to emerge fully, a profound shift, an alchemy occurs. It can happen once you and the other person have both spoken absolutely openly and fully, free of blame, and are heard fully, without judgment. The 'without blame or judgment' part is integral and yet the part that can be hardest to do, especially when you are upset.

Thinking and emotions are largely habitual, so it can be extraordinarily difficult to step out of and even to see the judgment or blame laced through them! Finding the confidence or capacity to be vulnerable and have an effective critical conversation can seem impossible, yet this is a profoundly important pathway to increasing sustainable intimacy, trust and harmony and . . . it is totally do-able. You can do this and learn to be good at it!

The living edge

I urge you to get support and get started . . . whatever is challenging you at this time is your personal invitation. You might not have wanted to hear that, yet I call this your living edge. It is a big green flag directing you to your starting point for a new level of relationship with yourself and everyone around you. How good will that be? Probably brilliant!

To get an immediate gauge on what might be obscuring your connectedness in your relationship(s) – and it probably isn’t what you think – you can download How am I doing? a free questionnaire.

You will find mediation, coaching and support from Now Relate as an individual, couple or family. The context for your relationship could be anywhere from the bedroom to the kitchen or the boardroom. Most importantly the other person doesn’t have to join you in order for the relationship to benefit.

I look forward to meeting you.
