About the Duo Coaching Academy
The Duo Coaching Academy trains qualified practitioners in an intensive, dual-therapist approach to couples work that has been developed over fifteen years of clinical practice and refined through doctoral research at Middlesex University.
The Duo Coaching Framework is built on three pillars that address the structural limitations of traditional couples therapy:
Pillar 1
Extended Sessions
3.5-hour initial sessions that allow real depth
Pillar 2
Co-Therapy
Two therapists bringing balance and dual perspective
Pillar 3
The Relationship Paradigm
A six-element framework for assessing and tracking change
Pillar 4
Integrative Repertoire
Multiple modalities working with both the conscious and unconscious mind
The Academy offers a structured certification pathway — from Foundation through Intermediate to Expert — published by Routledge and grounded in evidence-informed practice.
