Relationship & Marriage Counselling Adelaide

While every couple’s situation is different, feedback we have received from our clients is 93% have positively reported that they found counselling with our counsellors beneficial to their relationship.

We know that most couples want to find out the cause of their particular relationship problem, resolve them quickly, and then move onto bigger and better things, and that is what we focus on.

Under our expert guidance, you will gain a deeper understanding of your unique relationship difficulties and are given options and actions to help you become “unstuck” and move toward your relationship potential.

The choice of relationship counsellor you make is important. It can help to keep in mind that relationship, marriage and couples counselling is a very specialised field of therapy. Help

At The Hart Centre, we ensure that all of our specialist relationship counsellors take part in both our Initial training as well as our annual In-House conferences, where we bring in relationship and marriage experts to speak, from around the world.

For you to get the best results from counselling as possible, there needs to be a combination of two elements. Firstly, your therapist needs to be experienced and knowledgeable in the field of relationships; and secondly, a good ‘therapeutic relationship’ should be developed. This simply means that you and your partner feel supported and understood by the therapist, and that you trust them.

To help you make this decision, on each of our therapists’ profiles we include in-depth overviews of experience and qualifications, so you can feel comfortable with the counsellor you would be seeing, before booking an appointment.

When your relationship is not travelling well, almost all couples feel that they cant communicate their feelings and be truly heard.

Even though you know that communication is important to have, it can be very difficult  not to negatively bounce off each other when things are not happy between you.

And when you don’t feel heard, you usually don’t want to bother listening to your partner either. That then results in a lose-lose situation, with both of you feeling resentful.

So, it’s important to learn how to express yourself well, and also ensure that you each truly listen to each other.

In our feedback from many clients, they comment primarily that our counselling has helped them communicate far more effectively with each other, making their whole relationship seems easier, close and more loving.

It can be very painful to feel a loss of love, where once there was a mutual love and support even in difficult times.

Its so easy to get busy with your life and all the other commitments you have and forget that your relationship is a living breathing thing that needs ongoing nurturing, in the way of time and energy in being together and fully engaging and having fun with each other.

If you have unwittingly allowed your relationship to go this way, we can help to get your relationship back on track.

Every couple has conflict because we are 2 different people, but it is important to be able to resolve the conflict that comes up in a reasonable time, and not let it go on, and simmer away for years.

Doing this leads to hidden resentments, which is the primary cause of a loss of love between you over time.

When one partner chooses to look outside their relationship and develop another connection with someone, this causes a huge amount of pain for the partner whose agreement of monogamy has been betrayed.

It is an extremely difficult time, but with the help of a skilled counsellor, you can work through the issues involved and gradually, over time, grow into a better relationship than you had before.

It depends on your goals and challenges. Some couples feel positive shifts within a few sessions; many benefit from 8–12 structured sessions. Your Adelaide couple therapist will propose a plan suited to your situation.
