Relationship & Marriage Counselling Gold Coast

Every couple is in a slightly different situation, but the feedback we have received is that 93% of our clients have found counselling with our psychologists to be beneficial to their relationship.

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

With the skilled guidance of our expert psychologists, you will develop a deeper understanding of your unique relationship difficulties.  You will then have options and actions to help you become “unstuck” and move toward your full relationship potential.

It can be difficult to choose the right relationship counsellor for you, but it is an important first step.  It can help to keep in mind that relationship, marriage and couples counselling is a very specialised field of psychology.

At The Hart Centre, we ensure that all of our specialist relationship therapists are provided with our Initial training.  We also have annual In-House conferences, featuring renowned relationship and marriage experts from around the world.

There are two important factors to enable you to get the best possible results from counselling. Firstly, the psychologist must be experienced and knowledgeable in relationship counselling; and secondly, a good ‘therapeutic relationship’ should be developed. This simply means that you and your partner feel supported and understood by the psychologist, and that you trust them.

Before you book an appointment, you may like to view the profiles of the therapists in your area.  In each profile we include overviews of experience and qualifications, so you can feel comfortable with the skills of the therapist.

Almost every couple who comes in to see us, feels that their partner doesn’t listen to them. And almost universally, then you do not want to listen to them either. So you are left with a lose-lose situation of mutual withholding where neither of your are getting what you want from the relationship.

Being able to speak and have your partner listen and respond empathically is essential to a good relationship. We can show you how to overcome this stuck pattern so you are back on track and into a win-win cycle again.

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 psychologist, you can work through the issues involved and gradually, over time, grow into a better relationship than you had before.
