Our highly experienced therapists are trained in dealing narcissistic personalities and can help with your relationship issues.
Finding a Psychologist who is familiar and experienced with these conditions is important as Narcissism can be notoriously difficult to pick up in a few sessions if the Psychologist is not trained in this. Education on Narcissism is taught in Psychology courses but does not fully explain the widespread occurrence of this condition, and also the full ramifications of this, particularly to the partner.
We at the Hart Centre are committed to ongoing education and training in these areas and in supporting you in managing yourself and your relationships.For more information on Narcissism and narcissistic partners read our blog.
The success of relationship and marriage counselling depends on many factors, but is largely due to the commitment of both partners to see their patterns and contributions, and be willing to change. Your partner’s ability to do this will depend on his/her level of Narcissism.
You will often not know how willing you and your partner are to do this until you attempt to do so. You will be able to see for yourselves over 3 to 6 sessions what real effort each of you are putting in to see the problems, own your contributions and make changes.
If, after reading the information here, you feel you are definitely living with a Narcissist, I suggest you come to the first session (or book a Skype session) on your own.
If you feel your first choice is to work on your relationship, then we can then follow this first session with a session with your partner individually, then commence couples sessions with both of you.
The effectiveness of couples counselling depends very much on the level of Narcissism (and the resultant ability to take responsibility for their contribution) of each partner in the couple dynamic. These days the term is used very commonly in the general public so it is important not to jump to conclusions and to seek more information, like in our Narcissism blog.
Often we only find out the true capacity for self reflection and owning our own patterns by going through the process of couples counselling. Of course that will be your decision to make if you feel your relationship deserves this process. You will usually see within 6 sessions how willing your partner is to take responsibility for his/her contribution and you can make your decisions from there. If he/she is extremely Narcissistic, couples counselling won’t work for this reason. The extreme Narcissist doesn’t see he/she is contributing to the relationship problems in any way.
Every relationship is different, which is why we take great care to match you with an expert-vetted specialist that understands your situation.
Whether or not you are still in a relationship with the person, we can help you understand the situation and empower you, either if you wish to stay together or move on from a narcissistic relationship.
Our Personal Empowerment program involves 12 steps to recovery:
I also suggest that there is a Plan B in place, so that after an agreed on number of couples sessions, if you feel you are not achieving the changes and results you want, then you continue coming to sessions on your own to look at your options and be supported in doing your own work of rebuilding your Identity, boundaries and possibly new life.
Anyone who has left a relationship with a Narcissist knows that it can be a very challenging process. Here are a few reasons why this kind of breaking up presents extra difficulties over and above leaving an ordinary relationship.
Hear from individuals and couples who’ve experienced change through our professional counselling. Their stories reflect the care and support we deliver.

The Hart Centre has the most reputable psychologists and I cannot recommend them more highly, no matter what stage of life you’re at. I first went through the Hart Centre 10 years ago and it was positively life changing.

Paul has a different approach to previous counselors I’ve seen, first I was a little unsure but over time I find the methods used are extremely effective. I am in a much better place. Paul is flexible and has a variety of available times work in with schedules.

My husband and I recently did a few counselling sessions with William. I have never been to counselling previously and found Williams approach very empathetic whilst holding us to account. We felt very comfortable with William which made the process so much easier to manoeuvre through as it is not always easy to express yourself to a stranger. Would highly recommend William for any counselling.
