How Helpful Can Relationship Counselling Really Be?

At the Hart Centre we ask our clients to give us feedback on how helpful their sessions have been for them.

As of 2nd September 2016, 94% of our respondents have told us that their counselling has been helpful and worthwhile for them and their relationship.

Here’s some other things couples have told us that they have found they liked about their sessions with our psychologists:

• They appreciate being able to get clear about, and speak about what has been bothering them, in an environment that is listening and caring and non-judgmental.
• They also find it very helpful to get insight and a fuller understanding about the dynamics that are operating in their relationship that they weren’t aware of.
• They like having the opportunity to communicate in a healthier manner, and to better understand where their partner is coming from.
• They appreciate finally being able to resolve long standing issues that they didn’t know how to resolve.
• They like coming to someone who won’t not let the power balance get out of hand.
• They find it helpful to be held accountable for making positive changes to the relationship.
• They like being able to learn new things about how to make their relationship good, and to create hope for having an even better relationship than they have ever had before.
• They appreciate having the opportunity to learn new relationship skills that they have never had the opportunity to learn before.
• They love the renewed feelings of love they now feel for their partner that they thought were lost forever.

There are occasions where each partner of a couple comes to counselling with differing wants from the process, for example, one partner may want to work on the relationship, and the other wants to leave it.

On these occasions, we do our best to honor both needs while also exploring what deeper needs there may be and encouraging partners to explore all possibilities before ending the relationship.
So, there is real hope for improvements in your relationship if you can just take the first step. We will help you explore the full potential of your relationship, beyond what you have known to date, no matter how difficult it might seem at the moment.
