How does it work?
After signing up, you get access through logging in to the GM10M page to six weeks of content.
Each week includes:
A 10 minute audio for you and your partner to listen to, whenever and wherever it is convenient for you (separately, or together - either is fine!)
Notes, to facilitate a discussion between you and your partner. Download the PDF. Make a time to sit down and talk about what you’ve learnt, and what you want to apply.
-
The series is broken down into six weeks of content:
Session One: What’s wrong?
Session Two: How do you want things to be?
Session Three: Showing love to one another
Session Four: Unbearable feelings
Session Five: Emotional Needs
Session Six: Communication
Additionally, there is an Introduction to set you up well to commence work in the series, and there is a Conclusion to wind up and reflect on your learning and next steps.

First, click the ‘Sign Up’ link above. Enter your email address to create a log in. You will then be prompted to make payment using the secure Stripe payments system.
You will then have access to all course content, by coming back and logging in to the website on the GM10M page.
Each week, there is a 10 minute audio for you to listen to. You can listen to this separately or together with your partner. I encourage you to do this on the same day each week.
Then, there is a PDF of notes for you to print, related to the content covered in that week’s audio. You make time with your partner to sit down together with the notes for a discussion. The notes step you through some questions for you to cover, and some weeks you will be encouraged to record key points from your discussion in the notes.
Again, I encourage you to do this on the same day each week – it might be the same day you listen to the audio, or a day or two later when you’ve had the opportunity to reflect, whatever best suits you as a couple.
I’ll be in touch along the way to check in and cheer you on!

The cost for the six weeks is a one time payment of $199. And, yes, that’s less than the price of one counselling session with me. You’re welcome!
I want to keep this as affordable as possible, to reduce the barriers to accessing support for your relationship.

GM10M can never be a full replacement for engaging in therapy with a trained therapist. However, the reason for developing this series is that for many couples getting to a therapist is not feasible. Therapy has the advantage of being individualised and responsive to you in the moment.
GM10M is not appropriate if you:
Experience domestic violence within your relationship, or have any concerns for your safety.
Have other issues that are impacting your relationship – such as alcohol or drug issues, betrayal, significant mental health challenges.
Cannot make a commitment to one another to engage weekly in good faith with one another.
If you’re wondering if GM10M is for you or not, you are welcome to get in contact with me via hello@charlottecummings.nz

It’s really normal that there is one keen bean, and someone who might be feeling sceptical, reluctant or unsure.
Some key points could be:
What support has our relationship had before? We deserve this.
How much better would things feel if our relationship improved?
What else would improve in our life if our relationship was better?
What’s the risk of doing this?
What might we stand to gain?
-
Absolutely! I apply the same standard of confidentiality across all of my work - whether that is in my counselling, online communication, or accessing resources. I will not discuss your engagement with GM10M with anyone - it is entirely confidential.
In the interests of full transparency, I have some administrative support to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. This is undertaken by a professional I have carefully chosen, and this person is also subject to a Confidentiality Agreement so that you can be assured your privacy will be maintained.
-
At this stage, there is no intention to take the content from GM10M down. You would be welcome to go through the content again at any time.
-
I understand that doing something like GM10M is an investment, and you want it to go well and serve your relationship effectively. If you have any hesitations, concerns or questions, you are most welcome to contact me: hello@charlottecummings.nz

I offer a satisfaction guarantee, that’s how confident I am that this programme can meet couple’s needs.
Reach out within three days of purchase via admin@charlottecummings.nz, and we will return your payment, minus the small Stripe and Squarespace fees.

“We are two weeks into the Give Me 10 Minutes programme and honestly the relief in our marriage is palpable. We’ve talked for YEARS about seeing a counsellor and we’ve just never been able to make it work. It’s been worth it already for us that we’ve finally taken a step together. Feels so good!”
“Never thought I’d enjoy talking about our issues but you’ve made it easy to get through the tough stuff.”
