There was a time in my life when I really struggled in my relationship but didn’t know why. It didn’t matter what I tried, I couldn’t fix it. No matter how much effort I put in, how much I exhausted myself, how much I hoped, suffered and struggled, I just couldn’t fix it or get the love I craved.

And maybe you can relate too …


  • Are you struggling to feel happy, safe and loved in your relationship and trying to fix it but just don’t know what’s wrong?
  • Do you feel alone and unsupported in your relationship but don’t know how to change it when your partner just won't help?
  • Are you sick of having the same arguments over and over again without anything changing or being resolved?
  • Does worrying about the state of your relationship exhaust you and take you away from other areas of your life?
  • Are you so done with feeling unhappy in your relationship while it looks like everyone else has hit the relationship jackpot?


If so, I’m really sorry. I know how much this hurts. I know because ...

I have been there.

I used to see my friends being all happy in love, having romantic weekends away and doing everyday things as part of a team. They had fun, passion and romance. They felt safe in their relationship, were part of a and truly trusted their partners. 

I, on the other hand, felt utterly alone and miserable. It was all down to me. I was fighting for the relationship and completely drained myself. I couldn’t really understand why I was hanging in there when I felt so unwanted and unloved by my partner but I stayed anyway. And felt ashamed for it.

Every time I tried to get closer, my partner would pull away. Every time I opened up and tried to get closer to him, he would close down or push me away. It felt like my heart was breaking over and over and over again. 

My relationship was failing but I was unwilling to give up. I felt that we could have something really special and that if only I figured it out, we could make it work. And so I started to learn everything I could possibly learn about healthy relationships and all of a sudden, my struggles made sense.

I identified a number of components that would make or break a relationship. Not surprisingly, we didn’t have these components in our relationship but we learned about them and practiced them until our relationship dramatically improved. It was unrecognisable within only a few weeks!

I now want to share these components with you so you can also understand why you're struggling in your relationship and finally address it in ways that will target the actual problems and finally get you closer to getting the love you really want.

So What Really Causes Our Relationship Problems?


I am NOT going to teach you about problems caused by communication, finances, kids and sex (as so many would like to believe). No, I don’t deal with superficial issues.

I address the core issues and their root causes because I sought lasting change for myself and my relationship and that’s what I want for you too. Because what’s the point if the problem just moves around but doesn’t really get fully resolved?

So here’s what I have to offer you!

(And unlike me, you don't have to spend thousands of pounds and thousands of hours of reading, studying, practicing and working on this to transform your love life!)



Introducing ... Your Relationship Reality Check!


This intensive course will fast-track you to identify the most common self-sabotaging behaviours, connection and communication barriers and toxic behaviours that doom a relationship towards break up and or feeling lonely, disconnected unhappy so that you can address and fix it in your relationship before it’s too late.

You will receive the insights of thousands of hours of intense psychotherapy and relationship coaching in bite-sized format and uncover the unconscious, little-know patterns that make us prioritise our partner’s needs over ours and so go without what we want and need, suffer in silence and bottle up our feelings to avoid yet another argument, or stay in an unhappy and unhealthy relationship even though we know we shouldn’t while feeling totally embarrassed about it all.

What's Included?

Relationship Problems

Relationship Dynamics ... when you feel more like enemies than lovers


What's your relationship dynamic? Don't know? Don't worry, most people don't.

But that's exactly why their relationships fail.

In this exclusive book, I am sharing the 3 deadliest relationship dynamics with you so you can take action before it's too late.

There are simple things we all do that seem normal to us but, in fact, have detrimental consequences.

You need to learn about them now so you can end them and watch your relationship improve.

Attachment Styles … when you can never quite connect


Learn about the different styles we use to connect and relate to each other. 

This is super-important because there are two attachment styles that are rather incompatible and lead to a very painful situation in which one partner pursues the other trying to connected with them while they pull away feeling scared of being wanted in such a way. 

Find out what attachment style you have so you can either look for a partner with a more compatible attachment style or learn some tips and tricks that will help you escape the ‘anxious-avoidant’ trap.

Codependent Relationships

Codependency in Relationships … when you feel more like a parent than a partner


If you’ve ever felt that you are the fixer, problem-solver and shoulder-to-cry-on in your relationship while also having to be ‘the strong one’ and bottling up your feelings to stop other’s from feeling bad or having moody outbursts, then you need to learn about codependency and how it affects us in our adult relationships.


While codependency has been romanticised in our culture (“I can’t live without you” and “You complete me” … bleurgh!), it is one of the most common relationship problems that ALWAYS leads to complete misery, heartbreak and break-up. So knowing about it and eliminating it from your life will lead to incredible improvements in your relationships and your own wellbeing. 

Emotional Unavailability … when you feel emotionally unsupported and starving


If you know the pain of pursuing and loving someone who just won’t do emotions and doesn’t seem capable of being emotionally supportive, reassuring and carding towards you, then you know just how important this topic is!

Many of my clients describe loving someone emotionally unavailable as working really hard to earn their partner’s love, completely wearing themselves out trying to please them but never getting rewarded for it. It’s completely one-sided and leaves you hungry and starving for something you can’t quite put into words.

In this module, I will teach you the fundamentals of emotional unavailability and how to shift into the realm of emotional availability.

Codependent Relationships
Emotional Safety in Adult Relationships

Emotional Safety … when you don’t feel like you can really open up or trust


I still don’t understand why such few people know about this very important topic that builds the foundation for real love relationships in which you feel free to be you completely authentically, don’t have to hide your truth and can say what you want without fearing you’ll be ridiculed or rejected.

This is about being comfortable with feeling whatever it is that you’re feeling and having a partner who sees and hears you without being tempted to change your mind, talk you out of your emotional experience or fix ‘the problem’.

Find out the level of emotional safety in your relationship and identify the people who simply aren’t emotionally safe for you to open up to and be vulnerable with, which sadly means that it’s not possible to create an emotional connection with them.

Relationship Super-Boosters: So what do we do now?


Once you identify the problem, you can find a solution! 

Having a problem in your relationship doesn’t mean that it’s doomed! If both of you want to improve your relationship, then that’s great! That’s usually all you need to begin with!

If it’s just you, then that’s great too because it only takes one person to change a relationship.

In this module, I am sharing some super-effective strategies that will boost the satisfaction and happiness level in your relationship whether your partner is a willing participant or not.

You will learn strategies that help you to improve all of your relationships in all areas of life - this is NOT limited to romantic relationships. 

For example, learn the simple but crystal-clear technique that allows you to tell someone exactly what you need and expect so that they can help you support with it without feeling criticised and becoming defensive.

Marlena Tillhon

Hi, I’m Marlena

As a therapist, relationship coach and codependency expert, I am faced with modern day relationship problems on a daily basis. This has allowed me to establish a powerful framework for working with individuals from all backgrounds and sexual orientations that helps them understand their struggles from a completely different perspective without feeling broken or hopeless in any way.

This then allows us to come up with practical solutions that actually work in our modern relationships.

I have created this course to help you understand what is going on in your relationship by outlining several love blocks and dysfunctional dynamics, codependent patterns and unhealthy relational cycles.

The knowledge in this course usually takes at least 12 months of intensive therapy to gain. I'm certain that you will greatly benefit right now from learning my biggest relationship insights contained in this course.

This will allow you to work towards effective solutions and give you greater peace of mind so that unlike me, you don't have to waste years of your life and lots of money on ineffective solutions that simply don't dig deep enough.

Let's do this!

With Love, Marlena
