Press Reviews

  • Sue Parker Hall, Relational Psychotherapist and Author of Anger, Rage and Relationship: An Empathic Approach to Anger Management

    Beautifully written. An enlightening and helpful exploration of various methodologies brought vividly alive with valuable case study examples that show how couples can recover the closeness of their early relationships whilst, at the same time, developing a deeper and more substantial understanding of each other that leads to a richer partnership. A compelling and lively read, steeped in humanity and compassion. I found her great many insights into the relatively new methodology of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor fascinating.
  • Dr Michael Crowe, DM, FRCPsych

    Juliet is a skilled therapist who combines an intuitive understanding of relationships with a sound grasp of couples therapy techniques. Her enthusiasm for solving relationship problems, which shines through the text, together with examples of her work, makes this a valuable book for anyone curious about this field of therapy.
  • Dana Braithwaite, UKCP Registered Psychosexual Therapist

    Beautifully written and thought provoking, drawing from experience, casework and theory. An outstanding resource for clients and therapists alike. Highly recommended.
  • Al Pesso, Co-Founder of PBSP

    I am delighted to see Juliet publish the first book in the UK describing the effectiveness of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) in individual and group sessions. This continues Juliet's passion: to spread the message that PBSP is a transformative method that supports people becoming more fully who they truly are and finding greater meaning and pleasure in life.
  • Barbara Fischer Bartlemann, Dipl. Psych. MA, Pesso Boyden Trainer

    This book combines Juliet Grayson's expertise as a couples therapist with the wisdom she has acquired from Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor therapy. By showing how childhood issues come up in couple conflicts and providing resolutions through Pesso Boyden 'antidotes', she breaks new ground.
  • Dr Sarah Goode, Sociologist and Author

    As a lay person, I found Juliet's description of the therapeutic process clear and insightful. Her book gives the reader a strong sense of the power of these approaches, bringing the theoretical material vividly to life.
  • Marie-Elsa Bragg, Director of Westminster Leadership Consultancy and Duty Chaplain, Westminster Abbey

    After twenty-five years of dedication to the field of therapy, Juliet shares thoughtful and creative insights into how our lives can change. I've seen her consistent love and support for many people as a therapist, now we get to take that home with us in her writing. Pesso Boyden therapy has an understanding of the unconscious born from Martha Graham dance, and insight into human nature. Juliet is a pioneer of this method in the UK, and I watch her develop it with deep respect.
  • Sandy Cotter, Founding Director of the Praxis Centre at Cranfield School of Management

    An accessible and warming read! This book is ideal for one curious about psychotherapy. The style of writing invites a reader to 'sit beside' Juliet - with her clear mind and warm heart - while she finds a way to help and heal her client.
  • Penny Tompkins and James Lawley, Authors of Metaphors in Mind: Transformation through Symbolic Modelling

    Landscapes of the Heart can be read from several perspectives. Its easy-to-read style will inform struggling couples - as well as benefit couples who want to improve a satisfactory relationship. Therapists (or anyone interested in becoming a therapist) will learn about the systemic nature of working with couples from the comprehensive client cases. This is an absorbing, practical and beautifully written book we will recommend to many people.
  • Jason Wright, MA, UKCP Registered Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, Clinical Director of Number 42

    This is an exciting and interesting book. It explores simply, clearly and sensitively difficulties we have in sexual relationships. Her description of the theoretical context to her work is lucid and accessible, which makes this book a good read for lay readers and practitioners alike.
  • Sally Potter, Relationship Therapist, Executive Coach and Accredited Pesso Boyden Trainer

    It's illuminating to see how the Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor method is applied in Juliet Grayson's compelling account of her work as a relationship and individual therapist.
  • Lowijs Perquin MD, Psychiatrist

    Juliet's book is impressive. She starts off with practical clinical examples that demonstrate her work, and links that to her psychological understanding about human existence.
  • Trudy Hannington, UKCP Registered Psychosexual Therapist

    I LOVED IT. Juliet allows us into her therapy room with openness, honesty and passion. The book demystifies couples therapy; it demonstrates how relationships can break down but more importantly how a couple can be helped to put things right again. Congratulations Juliet you have filled a real gap on the bookshelves.
  • Judith Lowe, MD of PPD Learning Ltd, NLP Institute, London

    This is an essential read for clients who want to enhance their self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
  • Antony Haynes, Registered Nutritional Therapist, Director of The Nutrition Clinic Ltd, Lecturer, Author

    Juliet has the ability to enthrall with her narrative. Within a few lines, I was gripped as if reading a page-turning thriller, wanting to know what happened next. It's more than just observational psychology, it's compelling and enlightening. The descriptions of the characters and their relationships are interwoven with Juliet's insights in a dance that carries you along.
  • Nicholas Janni, Author and Founder of Core Presence

    Juliet's book is a real jewel. She brings depth and clarity to complex relationship issues in a way that will be of enormous value both to couples themselves as well as to therapists interested in going beyond a 'talking' approach.
  • Sharon Rooke, Psychotherapist, Chair of NLPtCA

    Have you ever been stuck, thought about going to therapy and hesitated? This is a compelling and inspiring book that I feel certain will help anyone interested in improving their relationships.
  • Ruth Hallam Jones, Psychosexual Therapist

    Juliet demonstrates a clear theoretical basis for her work, which is well explained. She then uses her creativity, humanity and wisdom to individualise her work and apply it to specific difficulties.
  • Robin Shohet, Author and Psychotherapist

    A wonderful book. Practical, clearly written and full of insight, it is a valuable contribution to the literature on working with couples.
  • Paula Hall, Sexual & Relationship Psychotherapist, UKCP Reg, BACP Acc Sex Addiction Therapist

    Juliet Grayson is an inspirational therapist and teacher. This book is an invaluable contribution that will improve relationships - your own, or other people's. Having witnessed the Pesso Boyden technique myself, I am deeply impressed with this method.
