Nonviolent Communication (NVC) for Couples
I believe authentic and compassionate communication is the foundation of a relationship that brings growth and enriches your life.
At times communication with your partner may feel like wrestling with a bear. At times like a dance. Applying NVC principles will help you to experience more dance and less wrestling in your daily life.
I would like to share with you principles of NVC aiming to help you navigate conflicts, deepen connection, and cultivate empathy within your relationship.
By providing specific tools NVC helps in shifting from blame and judgment to empathy and understanding, in creating safe and supportive space to express your needs, feelings, and desires.
The journey is based on three stages:
- Trying on ‘NVC glasses’ when looking at yourself, relationships and other people.
- Identifying and connecting with the deepest longings and desires.
- Practicing communication and agreement-building.

Here’s how NVC can benefit your relationship:
Conflict transformation: I will guide you through practical techniques to transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper connection. By understanding and connecting to each other’s underlying needs you will experience magic of effortless appearance of ‘solutions’.
Deepening heart to heart connection: Applying NVC principles, you’ll learn to attune to your partner’s emotions, cultivate empathy, and build a deeper emotional connection.
Empowering your speech: You will learn specific tools to transform communication between you and your partner. Moving beyond ‘victim-oppressor’ dynamics, you’ll learn empathic listening skills and ways to clearly express your needs and boundaries.
Cultivating compassion: NVC emphasizes empathy as essential ingredient for healthy relationships. You will have opportunity to practice empathy towards your partner’s experiences and create a non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard.
Personal and spiritual growth: By exploring your own needs, triggers, and patterns, you will develop a greater understanding of yourself and how your conditioning impacts your relationship.
I offer non-judgmental space to explore and express painful aspects related with being in a relationship and build new way of relating. If you desire to invest time and energy to grow as couple, contact me to schedule a session and embark on a journey.

I have no expectation of continuation – I enjoy meeting new people and even one session can bring benefit to you and satisfaction of sharing to me.
