STRUGGLING IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

Are you experiencing:

  • Constant frustrations that don’t get resolved?
  • Arguments that keep recurring?
  • A spouse or partner that is very angry or withdraws when upset?
  • Not feeling heard or understood by your spouse or partner?
  • Uncertain whether to stay in your relationship?
  • Previous relationship counselling therapy that has not been helpful (and perhaps made things worse)?

Then realise…

  • It is normal to struggle with relationships.
  • Relationship difficulties are not your fault or your partner’s fault.
  • You are probably in phase two of the relationship journey (the power struggle) which follows the initial honeymoon phase.
  • This is normal. All couples encounter the power struggle phase at some point where you may feel frustrated, angry, hurt, let down or disillusioned.
  • This is designed to happen and is a normal part of the relationship journey. It is an opportunity for growth.

With the right help you CAN get through this phase and enjoy a connected, loving, joyful and intimate relationship with your spouse or partner.

If this all sounds familiar then be in touch to see how Imago relationship therapy can be helpful to get your relationship back on track.

You can have a better, joyful, connected & loving relationship or marriage.

Hello! I’m Gary Janit

I am a relationship therapist and coach. My goal is to enhance the quality of your relationship. Whether you are dealing with a crisis in your relationship or are wanting a better connection then be in touch to discuss what will be of most benefit.

Imago Relationship Therapy

Imago Relationship therapy has positively influenced thousands of couples around the world. More than one thousand therapists in about thirty countries are “changing the world one relationship at a time” by teaching the Imago Dialogical processes. You can be part of this relationship revolution by contacting me to find out about this type of relationship counselling Manchester.

'My partner and I have had several Imago sessions with Gary Janit as our counsellor. Gary creates an open and comfortable ethos for our couple dialogue. We felt safe and secure in his presence, he comes over as gentle and non-judgemental'. (Sue and John - Manchester)

The Imago approach to communication comes out of new understanding about the relational paradigm. It is helpful for new couples as well as those together for many years. This transformational process of therapy was developed 25 years ago by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt. It provides tools for couples and individuals seeking to find a way to be more effective in their life and relationships.

Connect with your Partner like never before

Imago Couple Therapy helps you and your partner to connect with each other like you have never experienced before. Imago therapy shows you and your partner how to share appreciations with other on a daily basis. You also discover how to explore your frustrations, asking each other for what lies beneath your frustrations. Imago relationship therapy shows you how to explore your feelings. You'll learn a series of techniques and exercises to enhance your relationship.

'My wife and I had just a few therapy sessions with Gary and since then our marriage has been significantly improved. I now put much more thought into my relationship and much more aware of my wife’s needs'. (Neil H - Manchester)

The Imago Dialogue process is a safe way of communicating thoughts and feelings with each other. It forms the basis of the therapy sessions. This type of relationship counselling in Manchester establishes a safe ‘space’. Here the couple are gently encouraged to share thoughts and feelings without any shaming, blaming or criticising. There is a focus within therapy sessions to establish a 'zero negativity' zone. This 'zero negativity' focus is also encouraged in the couples everyday life.

Strengthen your relationship

All couple sessions are facilitated with the dialogue process as the main tool through which couples are taught to communicate compassionately. Couples sit facing each other which makes it easier to talk and connect with each other. The Imago therapist acts as a facilitator for your conversation. They will empower you to build and strengthen your own relationship. The aim is that the Imago Therapist gives the couple the understanding and tools to manage their own relationship. Thus, over a period of time, the therapist is needed less and less.

The committed partnership is seen as a significant ‘place’ for healing and development. The couple explores the present as well as the past, learning and discovering more about each other’s individuality. They learn to respect the differences between them. Through the course of therapy, couples may discover their partners (& their own) needs, desires, vulnerabilities, wounds, strengths and resources. Through the dialogue process the couple can begin to work supportively of each other. They become more aware and compassionate towards each other through the use of mirroring, validation and empathic attunement. Partners discover that a conscious relationship is an ever-evolving journey. And not simply a destination.

 

'IMAGO therapy- my partner and I started this type of therapy 6 months ago. We had found ourselves stuck in a power struggle and our relationship was failing. We have and are continuing to learn and use the fundamentals of mirroring, validating and then empathising. It has revolutionised the way we interact and deal with each other'. (Janet & Andy - Manchester)

Unconscious Image of Familiar Love

The word ‘Imago’ is Latin for “image,” and refers to the “unconscious image of familiar love”. This is explained in more detail during the course of therapy. (Also see Harville Hendrix’s book ‘Getting the Love you want’ for further detail on the word Imago).

'Before we came to see Gary I’d just had a baby and my hormones were all over the place. I felt my marriage was breaking. Gary helped me learn to communicate well and how to love each other.
