Clare Walters (Yorkshire)

Relationship Coach

About Clare

I am a relationship coach with 20 years’ experience and a qualified psychotherapist. I use a range of approaches in a flexible way; an author; a director of two companies, one a training company where we offer post-graduate training to coaches and therapists and the other offering coaching in the community; a Mum of four and the humble survivor of various relationship challenges of my own over the years.

I can teach you tools that help you get your point of view across and be heard, create a more supportive and trusting partnership and build a better bond where you currently feel frustrated, hurt and unhappy.

You can attend as a couple or as an individual. After an introductory meeting I usually work with you separately anyway, only meeting with you together when this seems necessary.

If you are coming together I recommend an initial 2-hour session, and if you need more after this we can agree a programme which will involve ‘homework’’ and meetings with me together or separately depending on your individual challenges. These sessions will be timed to bring the best results.

Testimonials

“When we came to you I thought we had had it, I couldn’t see how we could sort things out. After four sessions things are the best they have ever been and I am developing strong relationships with my step-children. I couldn’t be happier.”

“I was so frustrated, I felt Geoff never listened to me and that he was never there. I was desperate, I felt like a single parent and thought I would be better off alone. In the sessions I learned how to get myself heard but also to hear what Geoff was trying to tell me, and I realised that he was really unhappy too. We both needed to change how we talked to each other. We are a tight team now.”
