PROVEN COUPLES THERAPY
Healthy relationships are not a matter of chance; they are cultivated through trust, understanding, and effective communication. The Gottman Method in Cochrane is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy founded on over 40 years of research into what fosters thriving relationships. Instead of merely addressing conflict, Gottman Couples Therapy equips partners with practical tools to reinforce friendship, enhance communication, navigate disagreements in healthy ways, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connections. Whether you are dealing with ongoing conflict, healing from trauma through EMDR in Cochrane, preparing for marriage, or simply aiming to strengthen your bond, the Gottman Method provides proven strategies that aid couples in creating a healthier, more resilient partnership and a solid foundation for the future. For those seeking guidance, a psychologist in Cochrane can support your journey towards better relationships and effective trauma therapy.
DBT and ACT
To complement her work with EMDR Cochrane and the Gottman Method Cochrane, Marlies also incorporates principles from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her counselling Cochrane practice. DBT equips clients with practical skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and respond more effectively to life's challenges. In addition, ACT encourages clients to accept difficult thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed, helping them take actions that align with their personal values. Together, these evidence-based approaches provide clients with practical tools to build resilience, enhance emotional well-being, and create meaningful, lasting change in their daily lives, especially for those seeking trauma therapy Cochrane from a dedicated psychologist Cochrane.
