YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Ronnie Littlewood is the CEO of The Couples Clinic and Founder of 1 Million Marriages Saved. She is a Registered Social Worker/ Clinical Psychotherapist, and has been working in the helping field for the last twenty five years . She has worked with thousands of couples.

Growing up, Ronnie had a different start in life, than most. She had lived in multiple blended families, in multiple different provinces and attended over eighteen schools as a child. Because of this, she was always fascinated with love; what makes it and what breaks it.

As a result, she spent the vast majority of her career learning and trying to understand attachment and love. Whether her work was in the field of adoption, abuse investigations, reunification, or helping couples and families recover from the trauma of abuse, mental health, or addictions, Ronnie has always known her calling in life was to help others learn how to love one another, and most important… love themselves.

She has been trained in the PREP Method (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program) and has completed graduate training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and Brief Solution Focused Therapy. Recently she has completed Level’s 1 and 2 of The Gottman Method (Dr. Gottman is the world’s leading researcher in marriage therapy.) She has is also received training and is an Approved Clinical Supervisor through ACT (Advanced Counselor Training).

Ronnie brings a refreshing, straightforward and sensitive approach to working with couples. She is known for her humour, ability to work with intuitive energy, and occasionally (tee hee) her salty language.

Her life’s goal and dream is to help #1millionmarriages
