The Healing Relationships Centre offers the finest marriage and relationship counselling for couples that want to: communicate better, resolve conflicts, deepen their level of intimacy and enjoy a lasting partnership.  To improve the relationship with your inner self we also offer individual counselling and hypnotherapy by an experienced psychologist.

Counselling is provided in a safe, confidential and compassionate atmosphere.  Your counsellor is a relationship expert who will guide, educate, support and coach you and your partner in how to gain more love and respect for yourself and one another.

Key Issues
There are several key issues that often lead people to seeking help that usually involve a breakdown in communication about: CHILDREN, MONEY, TIME, SEX, FAMILY and TRUST.  Your counsellor will help you learn how to communicate with greater openess, clarity and empathy in order to find respectful compromises and win/win solutions.

Marriage researcher John Gottman, Ph.D. describes four communication patterns that are likely to lead to the breakdown of relationships.

        1. Criticism - Means criticising your partner's character rather than giving feedback about their actions.
        2. Contempt - Is obvious displays of disrespect, putdowns or making your parter the butt of a mean-spirited joke.
        3. Defensiveness - Is the denial of responsibility, blaming, making excuses and not being open to what your partner is trying to say.
        4. Stonewalling - Otherwise known as the silent treatment, is the refusal to respond to your partner's efforts to communicate.

Relationship Counselling will help you and your partner stop these destructive patterns and learn to debate the important issues fairly, give and receive feedback and unblock stalemates so that you can reach agreement.

An experienced qualified psychologist can help people overcome underlying issues of depression, anxiety, addictions and sexual problems. Marital Therapy is one of the most effective ways of helping women who are suffering post-natal depression. Couples most commonly seek help after the birth of a child, in times of financial stress, when there is an illness or death in the family, a threat of an affair or they have just drifted apart. 

Get Help Now
Although marriages can be brought back from the brink of separation and divorce, the sooner couples seek help the more likely they will solve their problems. Most people don't like going to the dentist, but know the longer they wait in getting help the more likely they are to lose a tooth. Getting couple counselling sooner, rather than later can help you hold onto that precious relationship and make it better than ever.

Meditation is another valuable way of experiencing a greater sense of inner harmony. The Healing Relationship Centre offers the highest quality mindfulness training course on the Northern Beaches.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) founded by Gary Craig is the easiest and most effective self-help tool I know of to help free yourself from fear, guilt, trauma and anger.  There are two levels of weekend courses that can change your life.
