Client stories

What changes, in their words.

Long-form, with the messy parts. Names abbreviated. Outcomes described the way they actually happened — including the ones that took longer than expected.

Three years of 'thinking about leaving' ended in four sessions.

TrackStuck-in-relationship

Duration6-week container

The setup

Three years in a relationship she'd mentally left after the first eighteen months. Two leases, one dog, a shared friend group. The cost-benefit of leaving was always worse than the cost of staying — until it wasn't.

What we did

Mapped the loop: conflict, repair, honeymoon, slow decline. Identified the scripts that were keeping her stuck — the 'but he means well' voice, the sunk-cost arithmetic, the identity she'd built around being the patient one. Wrote the breakup script. Practiced the lease conversation.

Outcome

Left in week five. Dated again in week twelve. Reports the most useful thing wasn't the script — it was the realisation that 'he means well' had become her way of avoiding a real read of the relationship.

I had been 'thinking about leaving' for two years. Four sessions in I had the script, the date, and the lease.

From 'polite roommates' to a real repair practice.

TrackCommunication repair

Duration8 sessions · 4 months

The setup

Two people who loved each other, lived together, and hadn't had a real conversation in over a year. Every conflict resolved into a polite truce. Rohan was halfway through booking a separation lawyer when a friend sent him the link.

What we did

Mapped their conflict cycle. Found the dance — he pursues, she withdraws, he escalates, she stonewalls, both feel terrible. Introduced the Gottman repair-attempt framework. Wrote a 30-minute weekly 'state of the union' structure. Both got individual work in parallel.

Outcome

Fourteen months later, still together. They report the weekly structure as the highest-leverage thing — not because the content is profound, but because the format forces them to be in the same room on the same page.

My partner and I were two polite roommates. The repair-attempt framework alone saved us from a separation I had already half-booked.

ROCD, exposure work, and a decision she could stand behind.

TrackRelationship anxiety

Duration10 sessions · 5 months

The setup

Three years into a good relationship, the intrusive doubt started: 'what if I don't actually love her?' It escalated. He'd spend hours analysing his own feelings, comparing her to exes, reading Reddit threads, asking for reassurance.

What we did

Reassurance loops make ROCD worse — that's the textbook answer. We cut them off. Implemented exposure work: deliberately sitting with the doubt, scheduling 30 minutes of 'worry time', refusing the mental-compulsion to check, log, or analyse. Reframed the question: not 'do I love her' but 'is this the right relationship for the life I want'.

Outcome

Decided to stay. The intrusive doubt is still there some days — that's the nature of the thing — but he has a different relationship with it now. The question that used to run him is now a weather report, not a verdict.

I came in spiralling about whether I even loved my girlfriend. By week six the question was 'is this the right relationship for the life I actually want' — and I had a real answer.

Dating pipeline redesign, and the 'pause-and-assess' script.

TrackModern dating

Duration6-week container

The setup

Eighteen months on Hinge, three dates in the first year, one date in the last six. Burnout was real. She was running the same conversations with the same energy and expecting different results.

What we did

Profile audit: cut the group photos, rewrote the prompts to surface actual taste, not witticisms. Built a 'pipeline rhythm' — three dates a week, no message threads longer than 48 hours without a plan. Taught the 'pause-and-assess' script for when someone says something that would normally trigger a spiral.

Outcome

Five dates in the first six weeks. One relationship, four months later and going. She credits the 'pause-and-assess' script as the highest-leverage thing — it stopped her from talking herself out of the people who were actually showing up for her.

I had been on Hinge for 18 months with nothing to show for it. The pipeline redesign and the 'pause-and-assess' scripts changed my conversion overnight.

Post-affair repair, done by the book.

TrackAfter infidelity

Duration8-month arc

The setup

An affair, fully confessed, six weeks before the call. Both wanted to try. Neither had any framework for what 'trying' actually meant.

What we did

Stabilization first — separate sessions for two weeks, then a structured disclosure protocol, then a decision conversation. After the decision to try, we ran the Gottman 'after an affair' framework over nine months: betrayal narratives, the small-rebuild rituals, the slow return to physical and emotional trust.

Outcome

Eighteen months past disclosure, the relationship is stable and — in their word — 'more honest than it was before, which we didn't think was possible.' They're not romantic about it. They have a structure.

After the affair I thought we were done. The disclosure protocol and the staged work gave us a path that didn't feel fake. We are 18 months past it now.
