One partner has a more emotional “hot” style of communication
(Anxious Attachment)

(Avoidant Attachment)

⊚ “Hot Communicator”
Brings up an issue and express some form of insatisfaction or desire for something to be different ⊚ “Cool Communicator”
Get defensive, to them it feels like an attack and wonder why there always seems to be a “problem”⊚ “Hot Communicator”
Feels frustrated that they can't just try and understand and show they care. They respond from the rising intensity of emotions they experience⊚ “Cool Communicator”

I'm a communication and relationship coach, conflict mediator and workshop facilitator. I specialise in the area of intimate relationships, leadership development and team dynamics.
My work is rooted in 22 years of dedication to my own personal development and my practice of Compassionate Inquiry, Nonviolent Communication, Somatic Awareness, Internal Family Systems, and Attachment Theory.
For the last eleven years, I have been supporting people transform their communication habits and navigate conflict with more compassion and truth, so that they can enjoy more connected, supportive and harmonious relationships with themselves and others.
A big part of this is helping people heal the emotional weight they carry from the past that keeps them stuck in unhealthy communication and relationship dynamics.
My experience with organisations includes facilitating Nonviolent Communication workshops for over 4,000 people within schools, NGOs, businesses, and more recently, humanitarian leaders.
Would you like to bring this learning experience to your community?
