Cochrane Psychology

Relationship Enhancement
Dr. Cochrane has worked with couples for many years. He taught and supervised UBC doctoral students in relationship therapy and he currently teaches a CPA accredited seminar on couples therapy to psychologists and other health professionals. He helps couples develop the tools to identify and effectively respond to their specific fears of intimacy so they can be open, empathic and participate in meaningful communication. He encourages couples to define their relationship goals and he then helps them reach these goals. His new e-book, Loving Relationships, offers the same melding of current research with the subjective uniqueness of each couple.

Self-Worth Enhancement
