  1. Simonetta Betti -

    I have completed many training courses in the USA and the UK. This one was certainly of a high methodological level and clarity of exposition. The subject matter is very complex, the lecturer took me by the hand through the stages of couples therapy but above all made me aware that many couples in crisis, if well guided, can still go a long way together.

  2. Stefania Brotto (verified owner) -

    Very interesting course, and definitely enriching for my profession. The lecturer is very helpful and clear in his explanations. I will definitely also do Level II and Level III. Thank you

  3. Andrea Marchese -

    It was a very formative experience to have been able to delve into the Gottman method, which I have known for years and use on several occasions in couples therapy, or with groups of couples.

  4. Guendalina (verified owner) -

    Very useful training that makes a practical difference

  5. Tiziana Carmellini (verified owner) -

    A very useful and inspiring course. It offers valuable tools for intervention and conceptualisation of couple difficulties. In therapy, the sensitivity honed during this training experience really makes a difference.

    Very interesting, useful, stimulating and very well organised course.
