Feeling stuck, cranky or bitchy in your relationship?

You love your partner, but are struggling to see the good — you're sick of all the niggling annoyances and things they're "doing wrong".

Your relationship feels flat, criticism creeps into conversations, and you're not sure how to fix it without adding more to your plate.

You're snappy and impatient together, and wonder where all the warmth, care and emotional safety of the early days have gone.

Shifting your emotional lens is the key to rebuilding appreciation

Long-term relationships can be hard, especially when juggling the pressures of work, caring roles and other life stresses.

Our brains are wired to spot threats and problems — it kept our ancestors alive. But when this natural negativity bias (which researchers call 'negative sentiment override') becomes your dominant lens, even strong relationships can slide into focusing only on the flaws.

Gratitude is the antidote.

Without it, we're less willing to do the "hard work" of communication, repair, compromise and supporting each other through tough times.

The neuroscience is clear: a deliberate gratitude practice rewires how you see your partner and shifts your perspective and attention, so warmth, appreciation and goodwill can naturally grow again.

Grateful Love helps you harness the power of your brain to cultivate gratitude

Designed to take just five minutes a day, this gratitude course helps you change the filters through which you see your partner.

I've distilled my 15+ years of experience as a couples counsellor, plus current neuroscience and gratitude psychology, into short, practical habits you can fit into your busy life.

  • Understand why you've been so negatively focused.
  • Rewire your brain to notice what's good instead of what's broken.
  • Let go of resistance to seeing your partner through a positive lens.
  • Learn what to do with negative thoughts and feelings when they arise.
  • Build a powerful yet doable daily gratitude practice that helps you reconnect with your partner, rebuild trust and stay connected.

About your Grateful Love facilitator

I’m Nicole Mathieson, a couple therapist and relationship-focused counsellor helping people create more loving, connected and harmonious intimate relationships.

I have been married for 20+ years and, like any marriage, we have had our ups and downs.

We are lucky to have been on an upward trend for many years, but it is not by chance. It is only since I stopped blaming my partner and started taking responsibility for my part that things have felt better.

Now I help others find that same turning point, so you can reconnect with your partner.

I love the way Nicole explained the importance of gratitude in our relationships, it has really inspired me to keep this practice up.
