In Australia the prevailing "gold standard" relationship therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, may not work for as many as two out of three couples.

INTRODUCING MATT COOKSEY

RELATIONSHIP THERAPIST

I'm on a mission to revolutionize couples counselling in Australia. My passion has a surprising source. I call it my dirty secret. 

 

I'm a therapist. My husband is a GP. And we flunked couples counselling not once or twice but three times!

We automatically concluded it must be us!  Thankfully, being a therapist myself I also considered the possibility that something about the approach was off. Thank God I did. 

 

Hear more about Matt's journey and how it informs a radically different approach with his couple clients.
