Turn over a new leaf

Every relationship encounters challenges, especially when two individuals bring different experiences, values, cultures, and communication styles into a shared life. Our couples coaching service provides a supportive, practical, and solution-focused space where partners can strengthen their relationship, navigate difficulties, and build a more connected future together.

Drawing on evidence-informed relationship coaching techniques, we help couples explore and work through key themes:

Collaboration

Cultural differences
Creating an agreed family culture that honours both partners’ backgrounds, values, and traditions.

Conflict resolution
Learning to face, embrace, and use conflict constructively as an opportunity for growth and deeper connection. Solving problems together rather than attacking each other.

Connectedness
Finding a healthy balance between autonomy and togetherness that works for both partners.

Communication

Communication challenges
Developing greater rigour, clarity, and efficiency in communication to improve understanding.

Constructive feedback
Moving away from complaint, blame, and criticism towards respectful and productive dialogue.

Caring conversations
Using emotional intelligence to foster empathy, understanding, and meaningful dialogue.


Change

Change management
Navigating life’s transitions and stages together, from career changes and parenthood to relocation and retirement.

Circle of influence
Focusing energy on what can be influenced, changed, and solved as a team.

Conscious separation
Accepting if and when a relationship is not repairable and finding ways to exit elegantly, kindly and with mutual respect and care for each other.

Deborah Mattsson Clarke

My background in communication psychology gives me a solid base from which to support couples. I have worked extensively with conflict resolution, change management and communication challenges for more than 30 years.
Having worked all over the world I understand a variety of cultural perspectives. My specific specialisation is helping couples from diverse backgrounds navigate relationships within the Swedish context.
As well as developing greater rigour, clarity, and efficiency in communication, I focus on creating a family culture that honours both partners’ backgrounds, values, and traditions.
Learning to face, embrace, and use conflict constructively as an opportunity for growth and deeper connection is often an important key in moving forward, as well as leveraging emotional intelligence to foster empathy, understanding, and meaningful dialogue.
Every relationship goes through changes as couples progress through life. Getting support in those changes, whether it be the arrival of a new child, the renovation of a home, the loss of a relative or changes in work status ensures the partnership can grow and develop in a positive way.

  • What our clients say

    When we bought our second renovation project, we chose Debbie as a coach to help us through the two-year-long renovation process. We saw it as a way to better understand and make use of each other’s strengths in the project, but also to become more aware of our weaknesses and protect our relationship during a demanding period. The coaching sessions simply felt like a wise investment, much cheaper than a potential future divorce. Debbie not only gave us tools to get through the renovation but also helped us understand and appreciate each other’s differences on a deeper level. It became valuable both for the project we were in the middle of and for us as a couple. We can warmly recommend Debbie to others who want support in better understanding their own and each other’s strengths, especially in situations where both collaboration and the relationship are tested.
