Other Opportunities 

• Relationship/Couples weekend breaks with Dianne.

Dianne offers a supportive space for couples in a relationship to come and stay for a weekend. This enables them to explore aspects of their relationship that are not working or supporting them as well as they would like.

Arrival is on a Friday evening with breakfast the next morning. With negotiation, we would have one and half hours of couples work in the morning, followed by a break. There are many choices of organic restaurants for lunch in the Elizabethan town, 7-minute walk from the house. Also the coast and Dartmoor National Park is approx 15-20 minutes drive away. This time is an opportunity for a couple to have space together and also to share insights that came from the morning's session.

In the afternoon we have a further one and half hours session, to continue the earlier exploration and to look at any other issues that may have arisen. The rest of the day would be free. The Sunday would be a similar layout previous day.

This way of working with a relationship, gives each couple 6 hours of therapy work, and the opportunity to have space for themselves.

Tools offered can be taken away and incorporated into everyday life. This format gives enough time for exploration and integration and can work very well for many people with follow up meetings every 2-3 months.

The cost per weekend is £390.00 for two people.
Also offered for one person.
