“Stephen saved our relationship”
A massive thank you to Stephen for the coaching sessions that my partner and I received last year. We were going through a tough time but have now moved into our first house together and are so happy. We have learnt to communicate healthily and maintain our intentions. I really believe that Stephen saved our relationship, thank you so much for that!

“No wishy washy indirect nonsense”
Me and my partner tried a few counsellors together and by ourselves. I found Steve to be a completely refreshing and different gravy. No wishy washy indirect nonsense. He teaches theory and how to implement it and use it to self reflect. Which I found so incredibly helpful. He’s helped me so much and made the unclear clear.

“The skills learnt will never be un-learnt”
Would highly recommend this program of support. I was in two minds whether to do this or marriage counselling but this by far was the better option. The skills learnt will never be un learnt, Steve is approachable yet professional which created a safe haven for me and my husband to work through challenges.

“More in love than ever”
Stephen has made a much bigger difference in my marriage than me or my wife could have hoped for. Like most I was sceptical as to whether there would be a difference but things have never been better, me and my wife are more in love than ever.

“The most valuable money I’ve spent this year”
Stephen was a fantastic coach. He gave us the tools to repair the small cracks in our foundation. Without doubt the most valuable money I’ve spent this year. Thank you.

“A game changer”
Steve helped myself and my partner reconnect at a time when we needed it most and I couldn’t be happier that he was the person I found to help rekindle the love and passion in my relationship. We found the course to be revelatory and a game changer.

“Truly transformative”
My partner and I recently completed Steven Bradshaw’s ‘Rebooting Relationships’ 6-week course and it was truly transformative. Offering valuable insights, practical tools, and actionable steps that helped us navigate various aspects of our relationships. The weekly modules were well-structured and engaging, covering communication to emotional intelligence.

“Now we are aligned”
Steve was clear, professional yet warm and personable. He always asked how we were doing so it became bespoke every session. He diffused heated conversations which gave space for learning. We got through massive differences in what we want for our futures. Now we are aligned and can happily move forward.

“Nearly done in our relationship”
We were nearly done in our relationship, with Stephen’s help we are rebuilding our relationship. We reference back to the things we have been taught.

“Show up as a better person”
I had 6 thoroughly enjoyable, beneficial sessions. Steve made me feel incredibly comfortable straight away. From there we went on a 6 week journey that felt really tailored to me. He has given me the ability to show up daily as a better person that is true to my core values and beliefs.

Common starting points
Reading the full review set, clients tend to come from one of these places:
- Stuck in repetitive argument cycles
- Feeling disconnected, like flatmates rather than partners
- Sceptical about coaching, often burned by previous experiences
- Tried other counsellors without success
- On the brink of separation
- Passion and intimacy faded over years
- Newlyweds blindsided by the first year of marriage
- Post-baby relationship strain
- After an incident that broke trust
If any of that sounds like you, you’re not in unfamiliar territory.
