12 days (3 modules of 4 days)
Are you thinking about doing couple therapy but don’t really know where to start? Have you tried working with couples, but at times got really stuck? When you use the Imago Relationships approach, couples often feel much more connected...even after their very first session. 
Imago Clinical Training will help you:
  • understand the unconscious universal dynamics of why couples select one another and why conflict occurs naturally.
  • guide couples to uncover the root problems and patterns fueling most conflict and disconnection.
  • teach couples how to communicate in a safe and structured way that removes blame, shame, and criticism and lays the foundation for deeper and healthier connections.
  • help couples heal together and work as a team.
  • expand the couples Relational Competency skills so they can experience the relationship of their dreams.
  • expand your self-awareness of the core aspects of your own relationship patterns.
  • …and so much more

We are passionate about helping you on your journey of learning and developing as a Certified Imago professional. Once you’ve completed the training, you’ll become part of a community dedicated to transforming the quality of connections of people in all types of relationships. We invest in you with a network of resources right at your fingertips. 

Connect your couples, connect to your new community, and help your clients develop  their Relational Competency. There’s a reason why Imago continues to grow in all cultures and languages. It’s simple, Imago Relationships work.

Comments from trainees

“Pierrette and Roland were not only great instructors, they were great models on what conscious couples look like. They were able to explain (together and separately) the concepts covered in the IMAGO Level One Training so that they were understandable and replicable. I use some of their analogies and illustrations on a weekly basis as I work with couples and individuals. They are a pleasure to work with and to watch.”
                                       Tabitha R. Mann, LCSW, Washington DC USA


“Pierrette Richard and Roland Bryar are refined, authentic and very human. They are open, warm and welcoming; it invited me to communicate and connect. Simple, humble and also very coherent and clear in their explanations and in their educational demonstrations, they introduced me to an embodied way of listening and to show empathy the Imago Way. In that spirit, I’ve evolved with this theory thanks to their flexible approach, support and their coaching.”
                                     Alain Vincent, Psychologist, Montreal Canada
