RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Combining Therapeutic Coaching and Mediation for Relationships
Often folks struggle when it comes to translating what happens within a 1:1 coaching or therapeutic setting into relationship dynamics, either at home or in the work place.
We want to offer you something new. As a husband and wife team we are combining our skills and experience to offer you a process weaving together both therapeutic coaching and mediation.
WHAT IS RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE?
Relational Intelligence teaches you to show up to challenging but important conversations feeling centred, grounded and connected.
We enable you to shape and transform your relationship experience by empowering you to envision and negotiate a shared way forward where both of you can thrive.
We support you to transform conflict and tension into clarity and connection so that you are able to move through seemingly insurmountable conflict into some kind of resolution.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You will each alternate between 1:1 therapeutic coaching sessions with Natasha and a shared mediation setting with Ulrich.
Therapeutic coaching will help you to individually explore the relationship experience you are struggling with, understand your place within it and find clarity about how you want to shape your relationship going forwards. This often begins with finding your own voice by listening to it (Margaret Atwood phrase).
The mediation sessions on the other hand will provide you with a contained setting in which to enter into an in-depth dialogue about your shared relationship experience. Here you have the opportunity to both shape your relationship in a space of negotiation and safe communication.
This is for couples who are looking to create and sustain a long-term thriving relationship, for those who are in the process of challenge and can’t find a way forward, or for those wanting support to consciously uncouple.
And also for family members who may be at odds or estranged and want to find a way back into meaningful relationship.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU ARE:
looking to improve communication and active listening skills
looking to unlock the potential of a promising relationship
looking to sustain and flourish in relationship, with authenticity
wanting to negotiate and improve intimacy and relationships
wanting the skills and tools needed to move from avoidance to loving respectful conversation
stuck in the ‘should I stay or should I go’ quandary
wanting to reconcile family relationships that have gone awry
interested in conscious uncoupling - enabling you to separate and part in clarity
“Having these sessions were a break through moment for us. Being able to talk honestly in a safe space gave us the tools to establish a way into deeper communication.”
“I have the skills to regulate myself when anxiety comes up and the confidence to stay in communication rather than shut down.”
“Do it.”
Ulrich Schoisswohl
Ulrich has 17 years of experience of working with conflict and communication in academia, public administration and large international projects.
He holds a masters in counselling science and social systems management specialising in mediation and conflict resolution. He's a certified conflict and bullying counsellor, a body intelligence practitioner and has trained in intercultural conflict transformation. He has written two books on the experience and management of conflict and confrontation informed by Buddhist thought.
His work aims to touch the freshness of direct experience as it unfolds in communication and conflict. So that conflict and confrontation can be embraced as a path towards personal growth and co-created cooperation.
With many thanks to Marina Cano for the usage of her photo on the cover of Ulrich’s latest book. 
Natasha Lythgoe
Natasha has 20 years of experience in transformational healing arts. As a licensed coach, her work draws on her 24 years of buddhist practice (and eight years as an ordained buddhist) alongside 10 years of dedication to therapeutic and embodiment modalities, specifically Eugene Gendlin’s Focusing method, the craft of befriending yourself alongside generative change shadow work.
Natasha has a private practice and primarily encourages people to align with their true nature and embody the gifts they carry, so that they may live as powerful, healing influences in their communities.
