“If you have a responsive love partner, you have a secure base in the chaos.

If you are emotionally alone, you are in free fall.”

-Dr. Sue Johnson

Learn more about our approach

What type of problems does relationship counselling help with?

Conflict

Conflict is a normal part of relationships, however, the way that we approach conflict can spell the difference between a happy relationship and the dissolution of a relationship. We use practical tools to help couples to learn how to bring up and work through issues as they come up, particularly those that keep coming up again and again in relationships.

Managing emotions

Many couples have different ways of relating to emotions and this can cause a lot of stress within the relationship. We support couples in better understanding these differences and the way they impact relationships.

Infidelity

Processing and healing from affairs and breaches of trust can be very painful within relationships. At Hopeful Counselling, we utilise evidence-based practices to help the couple heal from the trauma, process grief, and rebuild their relationship.

Stress management

Managing stress is key to healthy relationships and good mental health in general. In acknowledgement of this, we focus strongly on the management of stress in the family and from external sources such as extended family, parenting, work, and life transitions.

Disconnection & loss of intimacy

Quite often couples experience a loss of intimacy and connectedness, including sex/intimacy issues. We utilise evidence-based practical tools to bring couples back to feeling like lovers rather than flatmates.

Enhancing friendship

A couple’s friendship is a crucial component of a marriage, supporting couples to feel more connected, familiar, and intimate with one another on an emotional level is the foundation of a strong relationship.

Real Testimonials

"We were extremely fortunate to be guided by Teagan throughout our experience. Teagan had a wealth of knowledge to share with us and taught us many tools and strategies that assisted various scenarios within our relationship. We can not thank Teagan enough for her dedication, compassion and sensitivity during our time with her."

Katia Fraser
"We started seeing Teagan in May at a very big breaking point in our relationship. We both couldn’t see how we could get back on track, our marriage had fallen apart. Teagan guided us through EFT and it has changed our relationship completely. We have better communication and understanding for each other. It wasn’t about focusing on the issues more about fixing the root of the problems. Which has been lifesaving for us. We are about to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in December and excited to walk into the next 10 years with a happy healthy marriage. Thank you Teagan."
