Couples Coaching
Relationship, Marriage & Pre-Marital Coaching
My husband, Arens Sorensen, and I offer relationship coaching for couples at all stages of their relationship journey — whether you are dating, engaged, preparing for marriage, or already married.
Our passion is to see couples flourish in their unique potential for love, connection, intimacy, healthy communication, creative expression, and the precious gift of relationship and marriage.
We are both qualified and experienced Marriage Coaches, trained through Bethel Coaching, with additional training in several approaches to emotional healing, including Elijah House Ministries, SOZO, and Restoring the Foundations. We also have experience facilitating Love After Marriage groups and working with couples individually.
Alongside our professional training, we bring 46 years of shared married life to our work. Over those years, we have experienced the joys and challenges of marriage, dreams and disappointments, losses and adventures, and the privilege of raising our four sons. We bring this lived experience, together with our professional training, into every couple we work with.
We offer support with:
- Communication and connection — developing healthy communication skills and building or repairing connection
- Emotional and relational intimacy — creating greater safety, openness, and closeness
- Expressing love and affection — identifying what may hinder the giving and receiving of love
- Love languages — discovering each partner’s unique way of giving and receiving love, and learning to speak each other’s “dialect”
- Family-of-origin patterns — recognising and overcoming unhealthy patterns and dysfunction
- Healthy conflict resolution — developing practical tools for navigating conflict constructively
- Integrity and healthy respect — learning to remain grounded in love and respect rather than falling into anger, manipulation, withdrawal, or other unhealthy patterns
- Attachment wounds — identifying and working through wounds that can affect connection and intimacy
- Spiritual patterns — recognising and addressing spiritual patterns that may undermine intimacy and relational health
Pre-marital coaching can help you explore:
- Your hopes, expectations, and vision for marriage
- Communication and conflict styles
- Emotional and physical intimacy
- Family backgrounds and inherited relationship patterns
- Boundaries and healthy expectations
- Finances and practical responsibilities
- Roles and decision-making within marriage
- Faith, values, and spiritual life
- Family, children, and future dreams
- Areas of difference and potential sources of tension
- Building a strong foundation of friendship, trust, and commitment
Marian is trauma-informed, and together we have undertaken extensive healing and restoration work, both individually and as a couple.
We believe in the power of prayer and in the work of the Holy Spirit when invited into the healing and restoration of childhood wounds and other trauma. Our desire is to create a safe space where couples can grow, heal, understand one another more deeply, and flourish in their relationship.
Complimentary SessionWe offer a complimentary, no-obligation online introductory session of up to 30 minutes. This gives us an opportunity to meet, hear a little about your relationship and what you are looking for, and discern together whether we are a good fit for your needs.
If you choose us to come alongside you, we consider it an honour and privilege to support you toward greater freedom, love, connection, and fulfilment in your relationship.
