How a positive approach helps resolve relationship and trust issues.

We help you look at what dynamics you as a couple may have unwittingly fallen into, which can help take away the sense of blame that is easy to attribute entirely to your partner, so instead, the two of you can form an alliance in working on it.

Additionally, quite early in the process, we have you create your positive want list based on your issues, and in doing this, we are able to work with what you are wanting that will make your relationship great for you, providing a positive repairing of your relationship.

We also show you how to communicate more honestly and openly, encourage and nurture your romance, identify your love languages, make quality time together, and celebrate improvements together.

As you progress, good will and a deeper understanding between you and your partner can begin to grow, allowing you to rediscover a mutual appreciation of each other.

It is easy to feel hopeless when you are experiencing the negativity of relationship problems. We can show you that there IS hope for the future of your relationship.

Hart Certified experts help with a range of issues

Therapists at Hart Centre can help with other issues that affect your relationship.

When you are having problems in your relationship, it is quite common for there to be other issues ranging from intimacy and desire, to stress, trauma, depression, neurodivergence and more that are also contributing to the unsatisfactory feelings.

Many of our Hart Certified Counsellor have specialised training and can help address these secondary issues while helping with your relationship. That’s part of what makes our matching process unrivaled– we aim to understand all the details of your situation and find you therapists that truly understand you.

Thank you!

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!

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

Julie. I can’t thank you enough. To be honest, I got dragged along by Fiona, and didn’t think we needed it, but it gave me a chance to bring up some things that had been really bothering me, and now they are almost sorted. I would never have thought it could have been so productive. Thanks again.

Joshua & Fiona

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!

I didn’t know how much my withdrawing was creating such a communication problem in our relationship. I have always blamed Karen’s arguing. Thank you for your unbiased help and advice. So good to know before we start having kids and things really start stressing us out.

Alan & Karen

Very easy to book and the lady who answered was very helpful, not an easy call to make but she made it feel comfortable and easy.

Well, your questions certainly created a few heated discussions that we hadn’t had before. But I guess it’s better out than in. Because of our discussions, we know now where our hot spots are, and are working on them. Thanks for the insight. It may have taken us years to find them out.

Michelle & David

Very fast and friendly service. Understanding and courteous. Highly recommended.

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!

Chris

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.
