What Does a Relationship Coach Do?
Relationship coaching is different from traditional forms of marriage counseling and couples therapy. It’s much more than “just talking;” It’s action-oriented and designed to create real results that improve your daily interactions, strengthen your bond, and change your way of relating to each other for the better.
When you choose relationship coaching at Growing Self, you’ll get the best of both worlds: the expert guidance of a marriage counselor, with the motivation, accountability, and strategic support of a coach.
Read on to learn more about the problems a relationship coach can help you solve, and then book your free consultation.
Relationship Coaching for:
Healthy Communication
Communication issues are the downfall of many couples. Working on your communication skills is the most important thing you can do to strengthen your relationship.
A great relationship coach teaches you to enhance your listening skills, and improve communication, so you can protect your relationship in times of stress. Through this work, you’ll both feel validated, and better able to solve issues productively.
Relationship Coaching For:
Love and Respect
You both deserve to feel loved and respected.
Your relationship coach will help you both identify your love languages and relationship needs and learn how to show love and respect in the ways that are most meaningful to each other.
Practicing this kind of generous love every day helps you grow into supportive and unconditionally loving friends, lovers, and partners.
Relationship Coaching For:
Emotional & Sexual Intimacy
An expert relationship coach will help you both dive deep to understand each other on a core, vulnerable level. You’ll learn to build emotional intimacy through evidence-based strategies focused on strong attachment and positive action.
Your strong foundation of authenticity, understanding, and generosity helps you improve your sexual intimacy, as well as your emotional connection.
Relationship Coaching For:
A Bright, Shared Future
Every long-term couple has challenges. What matters is how you use them to continue growing together.
Your relationship coach will help you hear and understand each other in a new way, explore your expectations, and set long-term goals that honor your most important hopes, dreams, and values.
This is the work that paves the way to a bright, shared future.
Is a Relationship Coach the Same as a Therapist?
Here’s a dirty secret about relationship coaching: There is zero education or training required to call yourself a relationship coach. Unlike becoming a therapist, being a coach requires no specific degree or licensure. That means it’s very important to choose a coach who is actually qualified to help your relationship.
Growing Self is a collective of world-class marriage and family therapists with advanced degrees in couples and family therapy and years of experience in evidence-based approaches to helping couples flourish and thrive. Our relationship coaches provide empowering, positive, action-oriented coaching, as well as couples therapy and marriage counseling.

What Problems Does a Relationship Coach Solve?
1. Creating Clarity & Confidence
The best relationships are designed with thought and intention.
Your relationship coach will begin by conducting an assessment to reveal your relationship’s strengths, as well as its growth opportunities. You’ll get a fresh perspective and a plan of action to build the strong relationship you both want.
2. Nurturing Your Growth
Happy couples aren’t just lucky. They’re skilled.
Your relationship coach will help you build your relationship skills, improve communication, manage conflict, and show each other love and respect. Relationship coaching helps you grow as individuals, and as a couple.
3. Turning Insight Into Action
Effective relationship coaching is about overcoming challenges — not just talking about them.
Your relationship coach will take a structured approach to turn your relationship goals into your relationship reality. You’ll get assignments, motivation, and accountability that move you forward, together.

Natalie K.
“She has provided us with reassurance and helpful techniques to use.”
Jenna P.
“Dori helped us so much. Over multiple discussions, she helped us gain insights into what the other person was truly thinking and feeling, and what we were afraid to admit, too. She also gave us a collection of tools to try when things get tough. The combination of all these things has helped us work through and past much of the tension we couldn’t get over before.”
Dori B.

She was very good at deconstructing complex situations or emotions in a methodical way that made obstacles seem easier to overcome. She also made sure that myself and my partner felt validated throughout the process. I like that Georgi let us come forward with anything that happened in the week but she also always had a plan to direct the conversation in case we did not have anything to talk about.”

Tomauro V.
“We both really liked our counselor’s style. She made us feel comfortable. We have been able to share things frankly with each other through her prompts and understanding way.”
“The most helpful part was our counselor’s understanding nature and ability to condense down what we said. They was very affirming in nature and were also able to offer perspective. I really appreciate that they were the one who led the discussion about having achieved our goals. As for different, I don’t think there is anything at this time.”
