As our marriage was on the brink of falling out for one another, we decided to book Andy. With her help day by day, she has been giving us constant guidance through our dilemma. And here we are, open and accepting our differences. We are so blessed to have Andy as our therapist. Thank you so much for saving our marriage!

Kudos to Brigette for having a great impact on saving our marriage from the verge of separation. With her counselling, our relationship becomes more intact, improving our daily lives and mental health. The stability that we currently have in our relationship is the result of her counselling. Our marriage will be like this with your help. Thank you Brigette!

JA

My connection with my wife had become distant, which has led to a tense situation in our marriage, which was dangerously close to failing. Participating in Naomi’s sessions was the catalyst that opened our eyes to the fact that we never wanted to be apart from each other and instead desired to be together. It not only helped to save our marriage but also brought the passion back into our relationship.

JG

I was worried about being judged upon booking, making the first step is always uneasy. I was greeted with care and compassion and felt well heard by staff. Easy, simple and fast process. Thank you.

Lisa

After me and my partner had a session with Julian, I was so happy. My partner and I had attachment problems such as seeking attention with each other and always wanted to have time each other other. Julian helped us in so many ways that I was so thankful for because me and my partner today have been better than before. Thank you Julian for your help!

What is our marriage counselling success rate?

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.

How do I choose the best psychologist to help?

The choice of relationship psychologist 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 psychologists 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 psychologist 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 psychologist, and that you trust them.

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

The most common relationship problems

DOES IT FEEL LIKE YOUR PARTNER DOESN’T LISTEN?

Almost every couple who comes in to see us, feels that their partner doesn’t listen to them. And almost universally when you feel ignored, you usually don’t want to listen to your partner either, so the net effect is that neither person gets listened to, and both are frustrated.

So learning how to communicate your honest thoughts and feelings in a way that your partner does truly listen is a crucial skill for you to feel that you are in a fulfilling relationship. We can show you some simple but effective ways to do this with each other.

Unresolved conflict leads to a loss of love

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. Help for relationship counselling Townsville.

Perhaps you’ve been neglecting your relationship?

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

We can also assist you if you want individual help and guidance on your relationship, so you can learn what the patterns in your relationships are showing you about yourself. rela

An affair or betrayal can be devastating

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.
