Online Expert Relationship Counselling

Every relationship is different, but experience has shown us there are a number of common signs that it’s time to engage a professional relationship counsellor online include:

1. When communication has significantly broken down, and you’re no longer talking

2. When you’re continuously engaging in negative communication, leaving each other feeling judged, shamed or insecure

3. When there is hesitance or apprehension to talk to about issues

4. When affection is withheld as a punishment

5. When you see your partner as an antagonist

6. When you’re keeping secrets from one another

7. When you contemplate, or are having an affair

8. When you’re living totally separate lives

9. When your sex life or intimacy has shifted significantly

10. When you’re constantly fighting and bickering over the same little things.

While the above signs are a good first step at looking objectively at a relationship, often times it’s one partner that is pushing for change, and another in denial – in these situations online relationship counselling is a fantastic solution.

Online relationship counselling has dramatically increased the rate of which couples are proactively engaging in professional support.

The fact that the counselling sessions are available online means the barrier to engaging is much lower – this makes it much easier for a reluctant partner in a relationship to come around to it.

Other benefits of engaging in relationship counselling online include:

• Added flexibility around treatment times (after or even before regular working hours)

• Reduced pressure or stress treatment for the couple`

• Private and discreet sessions

• Medicare rebated sessions

• Couples often feel more comfortable engaging in counselling online, and this can actually speed up their counselling process

• Couples are more likely to keep up consistent sessions due to lower barriers

Like all forms of counselling and support – it actively requires a lot of input and work from you. There really is no short cut or quick fix answer when receiving relationship counselling.

Relationship counselling is proven to having positive outcomes for both members of the relationship, and the relationship itself. However, if you’re being dishonest with your counsellor, your partner and yourself – it’s likely the counselling efforts will fail.

What can you do to increase the likelihood of success?

• Focus on the things that matter most – there’s no benefit in resurfacing petty disputes just to get back at your partner

• Being honest with your counsellor, your partner and yourself

• Allow your partner to speak freely – without fear or apprehension that there will be some hurt feelings for what they might say

• Engage in the tasks or activities provided by the counsellor with focus and dedication
