CALL MATTHEW TODAY

Why are you here?

Because the honeymoon ended! You find yourselves in a power struggle and no one teaches us ways of communication that work to create successful relationships.

Below are the three most common symptoms of the unconscious power struggle:

1.

You and your partner are constantly in conflict, arguing, scoring points and bickering like children, needing to prove that your perspective on things is the right one and that your partner is at fault, can often be over small, repetitive and ridiculous issues.

EMERGENCY RUPTURE REPAIR KIT

2.

You and your partner live very separate lives with different hobbies and friends spend as much time as they can avoiding intimate connection with each other using, the children, work, gym, yoga, pub etc. as excuses. Essentially you have exited from the relationship long ago and are just going through the motions usually for, your religious beliefs, the outward appearance, financial practicalities or perceived benefit of the children.

3.

Either you or your partner are considering or actively exploring intimate connection with another, thus creating a major rupture that can if undealt with lead to a terminal exit and termination of the relationship.

About me…

I have been on my own healing journey from childhood trauma, attachment wounding and effects of a broken marriage since my early 20's. I completed my first counselling diploma in the mid 90’s and have been healing, studying and working in these fields ever since.

During this time I experienced the pain of dysfunctional relationship before learning the secret to having and maintaining successful relationships: “becoming conscious through dialogical communication”.

It's now my passion to share the knowledge and tools I’ve gained through a unique therapeutic education programme for couples, “Conscious Couples Therapy”.

I have completed the Imago dialogue for Couples Clinical Training for Therapists and I am a certified Imago dialogue educator. I am passionate about creating healthy relationships based on love, respect and desire, creating safety and security for the next generation to flourish.

I support couples to resolve conflict, rebuild trust and heal past resentments through learning new ways of communication that work. I am committed to holding a safe equitable space of unconditional positive regard for all my clients irrespective of race, religion, gender or level of ability. I look forward to working with you.

What is Conscious Couples Therapy?

Conscious Couples Therapy created by Matthew Greenwood is a modern therapeutic approach to relating. Transforming relationships full of pain suffering and resentment (unconscious projections of wounding and trauma) into conscious couplehoods of love, respect, healing, growth, intimacy and passion based on methods of conscious communication that work.

Conscious Couples Therapy is a safe therapeutic space where couples learn to be intentional rather than reactional and where unconscious and damaging patterns of behaviour are safely brought into the light. It is a programme of 6 plus, 1.5hr therapeutic dialogue sessions held face-to-face in Bristol or via Zoom globally.

What happens during a session?

Couples sit opposite each other and are guided to reconnect through carefully worded sentence stems and begin to learn how to communicate safely, consciously and with respect. The couple will learn the power of sharing regular appreciation and gratitude as well as learn to identify and take responsibility for any feelings and stories that may arise.

They will practice the core tenants of conscious communication mirroring, validation and empathy both in session and through detailed yet simple homework assignments. The couple commit to removing all negative behaviour over time and create a safe relational space to do their work.

What will couples learn from the session?

They will learn that disagreements are healthy part of a conscious couple and that all views are subjective. They learn to speak without shaming, blaming or criticizing and to listen by remaining open and curious, parking their own reactivity and really trying to understand the other persons point of view.

They will create a joint vision for their couplehood where any disagreements will be seen as opportunities for healing and growth and will be given the tools and tuition to use them successfully. They will learn how to identify and heal past resentments, rebuild trust and to apologise at the earliest opportunity to avoid creating new conflicts whilst come to know the value of happiness over being right.

How does conscious couples therapy work?

Conscious couples therapy, through the use of carefully scripted dialogues not only heals ruptures in the present or relative past, it identifies many of the underlying traumas beneath the triggers so that over time and through consistent application, lasting healing and transformation occurs.


As a Certified Imago educator, Matthew’s work is heavily influenced by Harville and Helens work on Imago dialogue and credits much of the dialogical methodology to their work.

The role of the facilitator/educator/therapist in conscious couples therapy is not to unwittingly triangulate with one partner or the other or to mediate arbitrarily between opposing sides of an argument often perpetuating right and wrong axis of traditional couples therapy. It is to remind the couple that they are in fact always on the same team, to educate and equip them with the necessary tools for respectful, safe joyful relating as swiftly and safely as possible so that their tertiary role is no longer required.

“The methodology Mathew delivers his session through felt somewhat unusual at first. However, in our six sessions together, my wife and I have managed to say some deeply personal things that have been the cause of the ruptures in our relationship. What’s amazing, is that we have aired them without causing hurt to the other, because of the way Matthew has taught us to communicate. There is less stress in the house. We are happier. We have a long way to go, but with the tools Matthew has given us, we now have hope where we didn’t have any before. I would whole heartedly recommend Matthew and I cannot thank him enough for what he has helped us with.”

PETER

“Cannot speak highly enough of Matthew and his sessions. This was the first time me and my partner have ever done counselling and was very curious and nervous at first. Straight away after meeting Matthew these feelings went and can say these sessions with Matthew has not only saved my relationship but our relationship is now better than ever before. What I have learnt will stick with me for life and now forever thankful for deciding to choose Matthew and turn up to the sessions.”

JOSH

“Matthew at Conscious Couples Therapy saw me and my husband at crisis point and has really helped give us the tools to save our marriage. The form of communication he teaches has reshaped how we deal with problems and will continue to help us through the rest of our marriage. He is passionate about the work he does and really cares about the couples he works with. I would definitely recommend CCT to couples as the method Matthew teaches really creates a much happier, calmer and safer way of communicating.”

SARAH DOWN

“This counselling was a god send for me and my husband. When we contacted Matthew, our marriage was in such a bad place. We had started looking at divorce lawyer. However, after agreeing to do Matthew's counselling. We both realised though we loved each other. Our language, ability to listen, story we are telling ourselves, and interpretation of our partner was causing such barriers. Matthew allowed us, using his style of the imago method to open our world up to each other and really listen. He allowed us to reflect on why we react to things and brings in childhood traumas and trigger for healing and understanding. I would highly recommend.”

YASMIN

“Matthew was brilliant to work with the guidance and advice that was given to me, personally has helped me understand how to communicate so much better with my partner, I found our communication getting better after each session and it created a much calmer atmosphere, I also felt it wasn’t just working to communicate better with my partner, Matt really helped me dive into myself as person to be more conscious. I would 100% recommend Matthew. Thank you so much!”

RYAN

“Matthew was great! We've gained so much from our time with him and our relationship has never been stronger. Thank you Matthew!”

CHRIS AND DANI

“I cannot thank Matthew enough for providing me and my husband the best guidance, support encouragement and understanding throughout our couples counselling. Matthew creates a relaxed, friendly and safe environment to help open communication. You can tell he really cares for his clients. The therapy that Matthew gives allows you to have the tools to take with you forever! I highly recommend Matthew for any couples and individual counselling!”

ZOE

“Although I wasn’t sure about “conscious couples” when we signed up I cant thank Matthew enough for the transformation of our relationship. We were like passing ships in the night after years of resentment on both sides, always finding other priorities to avoid spending intimate time together. Even our children were worrying about us. Matthew's knowledgable warm and passionate approach showed us a wonderful mirror and gave us tools and exercises to reconnect and rediscover the fun and the spark we’d lost. Thank you.”
