What is Imago and how is it different to traditional therapy
Imago Relationship Therapy is a supportive approach to couples and relational work that began in the 1980s through the work of Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt. Its core purpose is to help people turn relationship tension into opportunities for healing, understanding, and deeper connection.
This style of therapy can be explored in many settings — individually, as a couple, within families, or across generations — with a trained Imago therapist. Many couples and relational pairs also choose to join immersive two- or three-day workshops that allow them to focus solely on strengthening their connection. There are also workshops designed for individuals who want to understand their relationship patterns or improve the way they show up in future partnerships. In workplaces and organisations, Imago-trained facilitators offer group sessions that promote better communication and collaboration.
At its heart, Imago Relationship Therapy aims to support people in building secure, lasting, and fulfilling connections. It provides practical tools to help partners stay present with each other, navigate challenges, and nurture the love they want to keep.
