Relationship & Marriage Counselling Toowoomba

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 therapists 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 therapist you make is important. 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 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, the 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 therapist you would be seeing, before booking an appointment.

No-on goes into a relationship planning on having problems, but when they start to go wrong, it can really impact the whole of our lives.

Many of us weren’t given a great role model for healthy relationships and this topic is not taught in schools, so most of us are trying to do our best with limited know- how on how to make our relationship better.

Most couples feel, when their relationship is struggling, that they can’t feel much of the love any more, and the connection they onced loved and valued so much, has wained. Others can feel that they have somehow lost themselves in their relationship, and don’t know who they are anymore.

And you can fall into the trap of pushing each others buttons, and not communicating in loving and effective ways,  creating a negative cycle that is very difficult to extricate yourself from.

When problems begin in your relationship, many couples find that they feel that they are trying to communicate the way they feel but that their partner is not listening.

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.

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