Michael

Let me start by saying I’m sorry your relationship is in such turmoil you’re looking for couples counselling.

Let’s be clear, you are not here for fun or entertainment, you’re here because you’re in trouble. Your relationship, which used to be the most amazingly pleasurable part of your life, has become a place of deep pain.

My name is Michael Myerscough and I specialise in intensive treatment for marriages and relationships in crisis. I work with people in serious relationships with serious problems. If any of the points below apply to you or your relationship then you can relax – I have a solution for you.

  • Do you wish you and your partner could stop fighting?

  • Do you fear your relationship is on the brink of divorce?

  • Is controlling behaviour an issue in your relationship?

  • Has your relationship undergone change that has been hard to manage recently. Things like the birth of a child, relocation, loss of work or illness?

  • Are you frustrated with the lack of passion between you?

  • Is constant criticism an issue in your relationship?

  • Are you and your partner trying to recover from an affair?

  • Are you worried you’re wasting time in a relationship that will never go anywhere?


Are you looking for couples counselling?

Pulling Marriages Back From The Brink

Many of the clients I see are seeking to simply improve their relationship due to having got stuck in some kind of power struggle and that’s work I’m happy to do. It saddens me that most couples wait until they’ve done serious damage before getting relationship counselling. However a significant amount of the people I meet are couples where traditional couples counselling just hasn’t worked or they’ve resisted getting help for way too long. I prioritise the couples that find themselves at a point where separation or divorce is beginning to seem inevitable. I pull marriages back from the brink. Please don’t take my word for it, have a look at the success stories, the model I’m trained in works.

The majority of the couples I work with have often  seen two or more marriage counsellor over the years and still find themselves unable to halt the steady slide toward separation or getting a divorce. As a result they are now ready to invest in the kind of intensive sessions I offer in order to avoid the excruciating pain of loss and divorce. They’re also hoping to steer clear of the disastrous financial implications of separating. I hope you don’t think I’m over stating that. Let’s face it running two homes on the same level of income and paying for a couple of lawyers is nothing less than an economic disaster for most of us.

The good news is that with the help of systems based couples therapy you really can get back to the relationship you deserve and desire. Imagine how much better that would feel than the pain of heartbreak and fear you are stuck in right now.

Intensive Couples Counselling

Usually I work in 2 hour intensive blocks with a couple although it’s not unusual for people to elect to have a day long intervention as a way of getting started in couples counselling. Think about it, do you really hope to get any serious work done within the ‘therapeutic hour’ some couples therapy services will offer you? If you want to know more about this take a look at the Services Offered.

Working in this way grants you the luxury of an in depth grasp of what you are ‘really’ dealing with in your relationship in the shortest time possible. More importantly we then have time to immediately address the quickest way to stop your relationship problems. I’m trained in a systems based relationship counselling model which means I’m able to tell you exactly what’s going wrong within your first two hours of couples counselling. Doesn’t that sound like a pretty good proposition?

Using this approach I have seen relationships make it all the way back from death’s door to loving couple. I’ve been doing this long enough now to be assured of the direction you need to be moving in and how to get you there. As I said earlier please don’t take my word for it, take a look at the things my clients have said about how this model saved their relationship.

Don’t Make This Painful Mistake

Half of all marriages that end do so in the first 7 years, and the statistics for your second marriage are actually worse. Most couples wait around 6 years before seeking couples counselling for their relationship problems which means they’ve been living in misery far too long. Your marriage doesn’t have to die! You do not have to continue to lie awake at night in that state of pain, dissatisfaction and loneliness. The sad fact is that it’s often only when the divorce papers have been signed, the contents of your home split and you’re sitting alone in your new place that reality sinks in. Only then will you realise the depth of what you gave up on when you gave up on each other.

You can read more about how to avoid making a major mistake when it comes to relationship problems and saving your relationship here.  If you’d like to know the specifics of the couples counselling I offer then please take a look at the ‘How I Work’ page.

Michael I really appreciate you following up. I do know you tried very hard and I appreciate that so much. The fact you couldn't save my marriage is sad but as you said sometimes people aren't meant to be together.

Before my wife and I met and started working with Michael, my marriage was over.  My wife had "left the building" and only agreed to couples therapy as  a means of a smoother exit to our relationship.  Michael explained to her that a smooth exit was not out of the question, but a hard look at how we had gotten to such a place was where to start. With amazing objectivity, he took us through our ...

Michael knows exactly how to get a couple out of trouble and is fearless. Before working with Michael I was very sceptical about therapy for couples and did not believe that any outsider could fully understand me, my partner or our situation well enough to be of help.  At best, I expected clichés and a quick fix that would wear out after a short time.  Michael is different and not at all what I had imagined in ...

Michael is a truly great marriage counsellor. He sized up my marriage faster than any therapist we've seen before (and we've seen a few), and we made more progress in 3 months with him than I thought possible. I understand where my wife is coming from more than ever before which is amazing. I no longer feel our marriage is at deaths door. I would highly recommend him to any couple who is struggling.
Martin

Over the last 20 years we've tried so many different ways to improve our relationship. And truth be told I've hated them all. Michael's 2 day Couples Therapy Retreat was different. Very different. He understands that as a guy you just need to tell me what to do and then get me to practice it over and over again until I've got it. At points I felt like he drilled ...
Arthur and Claire

One year ago my world came crashing down when I found out that my amazing, seemingly perfect husband had been seeing prostitutes for 9 months. I am a mum with three small boys. I didn't know what to do or how to function. All I knew is that I had to hold it together for my children. After seeing several marriage counsellors who were unable to help, my husband and I found Michael. He listened, ...
Karina and John

Me? Get help with my marriage? You're joking right? After 55 years of 'doing all my own stunts' I honestly believed asking for help was a sign of weakness. But with my marriage at rock bottom and divorce looking like the only option, I was desperate. After a long, long talk, my wife outlined all the ways she was not willing to live with me a day longer. I convinced her ...
David and Betty
Michael Myerscough
Michael Myerscough surprised us when we discovered he was a "Marriage Coach" as my wife, Brenda had been telling me of a book she was browsing.  "The New Rules of Marriage" written by Michael’s mentor. Within the first three sessions, I found that the "mechanical" process of "accountability" allowed me to 'ask' for what I need in the relationship and to be willing to hear the requests of my partner; the love of my life. Michael provided ...

We stumbled across Michael’s site during a time of absolute marriage hell and upheaval. I thought my marriage was over. My husband turned around one morning out of the blue and said he was done with our 14 year marriage and he was attracted to someone else. I was completely blindsided and was at an utter loss. My whole world was destroyed in an instant. I convinced him ...
Emma and Mario

My husband and I were well on the path to divorce when he organised our sessions with Michael. I have to say I felt it was a waste of time and too much damage had been done. Michael helped us to see the patterns in our relationship and how we had both contributed to our pain. Not only did he give us the awareness, he also gave us the tools to step out of these ...

Your teachings has opened up a whole new world for me. I am able to better understand the emotional requirements required, firstly to be genuinely happy with ourselves, and secondly to try to understand and be happy with my wife. If I were to advise anyone who found themselves in the unfortunate position that I was last year and I had to sum up my learning with you it would be; find someone who's advice you can trust ...

When I contacted Michael regarding therapy it was with the explicit intent that he help us end our marriage in an amicable and conscious way for the sake of our children.  This was our 3rd attempt at couples counselling and I was not interested in the least in "saving my marriage."  I realise that if you're reading this you may be thinking "no one understands how bad your marriage is or could possibly have the ...
Maureen

The sessions we had with Michael were a last attempt to stop my marriage from disintegrating. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I certainly did not expect the massive turnaround in our relationship that we have had. After so many years of loneliness and sadness, my husband and I have now reconnected. There is a level of affection and kindness that never even existed at the start of our relationship. I feel safe and ...
Lisa and Danny
Michael Myerscough
Thank you Michael. Yesterday's intensive was amazing, I really thought I was the only issue and it's been spiralling me down deeper and deeper into this depression. It was at a point where I was questioning my love for Claire as I felt like I was lost. I am very happy just from yesterday's outcome. Thankyou for showing us a way forward and through the mess I got us into. I look forward to future meetings ...

We first visited Michael because we weren’t sure that our marriage was still worth the effort.  We’d already tried counselling and had got nowhere but Michael was different! He immediately identified our underlying problems.  He often says things we don’t want to hear but balances his insights with humour and compassion. Michael has saved our marriage and has helped us as individuals in the process – we’re happier than we've ever been!
Ashley and Luke
Michael Myerscough
We met Michael, at a point where our marriage was at rock bottom and I was really struggling with how it was going. I wanted out, but something kept me wanting to make it work. We had seen marriage counsellors, before, but Michael, was different. He has a great knack of getting to the root of the issue, using humor and a lot of sensitivity; he understands your boundaries and knows when to cross them. ...
Phillipa and Roger
Michael Myerscough
My wife found out about an 8 year emotional affair I'd been having. Somehow I'd convinced myself that it wasn't a big deal and that I wouldn't get caught. Well, I got caught and it was a huge deal. It was horrific. At points I was afraid that I'd either killed my wife or she was going to kill me. I had no idea this was going to cause such a big rupture or how ...
Gordon and Jenny
Michael Myerscough
Michael saved both my marriage and myself. I had a crush on another woman which was splitting our marriage. Within two sessions, I realised that firstly I was suffering from depression and two that my crush on this other woman was my way of escaping the bleakness. This was helpful because I was able to let go of the crush and return emotionally to my wife. My wife is probably even happier with Michael than I ...
Graeme
Michael Myerscough
In my 1st session with Michael I realized that Michael "got me" like no other professional ever has. Michael pin pointed issues that I have had for more than 50 years that have held me back. He has helped me to improve my life and save our marriage. Even better the work we did was respectful and a lot more entertaining that I would ever have thought possible.

My husband and I have been married for over 30 years and most of those years were spent raising our 6 children and striving to achieve goals that we had set for ourselves. Imagine my dismay when we had accomplished almost everything we had dreamed about and we were a light year away from happy. Our many homes, cars, vacations and travels did little to cover up the fact that we had grown ...

Wow, I never thought I could get someone to get through to my husband and allow him to see himself in true REALITY! Michael Myerscough has been an absolute life changer for my marriage and it is evident that his approach to marriage therapy is a success story in itself. My husband has a drinking problem which has been an issue in our marriage since the beginning. I and my children have witnessed his on and ...
Jasmine

I do not have high enough praise for Michael's work.  His integrity, clarity and insight allowed my husband and I to laser cut through our years of unfinished conversations and misunderstandings in a matter of months...to the point where we now have the tools to consistently go through "Door B" as Michael would say.....to do it differently. Our marriage had a lot of love and was  a "good" relationship, but there were areas where we both ...
