The value of marriage counselling for Geelong couples

While all relationships can hit hurdles, marriage counselling in Geelong is a great way to help couples reconnect and resolve issues.

Psychologist Helen Handsjuk has more than 30 years’ experience in helping couples to get their relationships back on track. She sees first-hand the benefits that couples can achieve with quality counselling. And she’s passionate about equipping them with a handy set of ‘tools’ to build stronger, happier bonds.

Advantages of marriage counselling for Geelong couples include:

• Improved communication and a deeper understanding of each other – their goals, reactions and needs;
• Recognising and addressing distinctive behavioural patterns;
• Resolving issues, clearing up misunderstandings and learning effective ways to manage conflict;
• Rekindling intimacy lost over past months or years;
• And helping couples to avoid major pitfalls in the future.

Ignoring stresses or issues within a relationship won’t fix the problem. With this in mind, don’t let your marriage reach breaking point before seeking help. Be proactive. Consider counselling when the cracks appear so you can work together to resolve the situation.

Do you feel isolated in your marriage? Ignored? Frustrated? Lonely? Are issues such as parenting, loss of a loved one, infidelity or whether to have a baby causing conflict? Are you struggling to cope with shouldering the bulk of household or family responsibilities?

Helen can help couples work through all of the above issues. With extensive training in cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy and bioenergetic psychotherapy, Helen listens, mediates and helps couples develop valuable skills that can lead to a more positive future.

In conclusion, if you feel your relationship can benefit from marriage counselling in Geelong, contact psychologist Helen Handsjuk to book an appointment.
