Online couples therapy lets you work with the right people for your marriage regardless of where in the world you live, because the work happens at the level of the dynamic between you, not the room you are in. We are Grant and Christine Wattie, married 40 years, Gottman, Imago and EFT trained, working online with English-speaking couples across New Zealand, Australia, and around the world from our base in Havelock North.

For couples in places where experienced relationship help is hard to find, or where the local options do not fit, online removes the limitation of geography. You are no longer restricted to who practises nearby. You can work with people whose approach actually suits your situation, wherever they are. Across time zones, sessions are arranged to suit, and the work itself is identical to sitting in the same room.

What makes this possible is that our approach is not about the setting. The Inside-Out Method works at the level of who you are being, and that translates fully to a screen. For couples in acute crisis we use the Phoenix Protocol, our approach for affairs, threatened separation, and shutdown. For the broader rebuild we use the 9 Principles of Love Without Limits. Around 85 to 90 percent of couples who do the work see the dynamic begin to shift within 7 days, wherever in the world they are.

We have helped couples come back from the brink, including our own marriage when it was close to ending. That lived experience travels across any distance, because the human dynamic in a struggling marriage is the same the world over.

It starts with a free 15-minute call. You tell us where things are, and we tell you plainly what we think is possible and whether we are the right fit, whatever country you are in.

If you want online couples therapy and you are anywhere in the world, book a free 15-minute call. Tell us where things are. We will be honest about what is possible.

Can we work with you from outside New Zealand and Australia? Yes. We work online with English-speaking couples anywhere in the world. Sessions are arranged across time zones, and the work is identical in depth to meeting in person.

Does online couples therapy work across different countries? Yes. The struggling dynamic in a marriage is the same the world over, and our approach works at the level of that dynamic, which translates fully online regardless of where you live.

What if good relationship help isn’t available where we live? That is exactly where online helps most. It removes the limit of geography, so you can work with people whose approach fits your situation rather than only who practises nearby.

How do we begin? With a free 15-minute call. You tell us what is happening, and we are honest about whether we can help and what the path would look like, wherever you are.
