Relationship Counselling on the Gold Coast

once a year we head over to get our car serviced, every couple of months we stocks take our wardrobes and retire old clothing, ever few or so we treat ourselves to a beauty treatment, while everyday we go through a routine to keep our bodies healthy. Why is it, that in almost every aspect of our life we realise that components require regular up keep and care to continue functioning optimally? However, when it comes to relationships, we somehow expect it to be smooth sailing.

Studies have shown, that relationship counselling highly depends on the individual characteristics of the couple, mental health conditions, and more, overall results are extremely varied.

Relationships are not always easy

Relationships are one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life. This is because two people with complex back stories, triggers, histories, baggage, reactions, preferences, habits, and upbringings are suddenly intertwined and expected to get along swimmingly. Each relationship is unique, and a look at relationship statistics in Australia shows how diverse couples are, from age range, religion, lengths of relationships, and divorces. Whether it is the propaganda sold to us through pop culture, or the fairy tales and their happily ever after, we often ignore the reality that relationships are challenging.
