Frequently Asked Questions
The success of Relationship Coaching relies on the skill of the individual coach, the quality of the working relationship and the commitment of the parties seeking support. A Single Step assures you a qualified and highly skilled Counsellor and Relationship Coach with many years of experience, and a strong focus on building a safe, supportive environment for all parties. We are confident of delivering great outcomes for your relationship if you are ready to commit yourself to the process.
The common distinction made is that Counselling is a therapeutic process, whilst Coaching is classically present and future-focused, with an emphasis on goals and actions. In practice – depending on the practitioners preferred approach – there can be considerable overlap, and with qualifications and a depth of experience in both Counselling and Coaching, Chris Pye from A Single Step offers the best of both worlds.
Some couples attend one or two sessions and feel that the support has set them back on track. More often, somewhere between 8 and 12 sessions is common. To chat with us about your specific needs and circumstances, book in for a free ‘First-Step Conversation’, or simply give us a ring.
A Relationship Conflict Coach works with couples and families to help identify the source of the relationship conflict and build the skills to manage it more successfully.

Yes. The understanding of trauma and its impacts has evolved significantly over the last 20 years. We now know that a good deal of relationship conflict is informed by attachment-based and developmental trauma. Chris Pye from A Single Step has received training from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and other luminaries, through the Trauma Research Foundation. His trauma-informed approach is also informed by his training in TRTP and his own parenting of children with developmental trauma.

I certainly do. As a result of COVID or geographical distance, many people connect with services online, whilst others have discovered that they value face-to-face engagement where practical.
