Welcome

Southport Relational was founded by Dr Katie Beavan and Keith Michaelson, LMFT. As partners in life and work, we are both certified in Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy (RLT), an approach we use to help people move from reactivity to relational wisdom. Our work draws on decades of experience across therapy, coaching, business, leadership, family business and family systems.

Alongside our colleague Matt Opatrny, we support couples, individuals and professionals in building the skills of love, respect, and repair - so relationships can become a source of vitality, growth, and healing.
