Maintaining Relationships
Don't let stress and pressure take a toll on your relationship – take the first step towards a happier future today.
Strengthen your connection with your partner
Build a healthy and fulfilling romantic partnership.
A romantic partnership is an intimate bonding experience shared between two people. Your partner is the one you spend the most time with. The person you are the most vulnerable and open with. Conflict is inescapable but it is very important for the progress between you and your partner. Unfortunately, when the conflict has been avoided or handled insensitively, this can cause a breakdown to occur. In these cases, it is essential to seek online couples counselling right away.
It is fairly common for romantic partners to experience hardship from time to time. In 2020, the divorce rate in Australia is 1.9 in every 1,000 with an average of 33% of married couples ending in divorce (ABS, 2020). Intimate partnerships have a major impact on our physical and mental health. Feeling disconnected from our beloved can cause decreased levels of energy, happiness, and can even put you at risk of developing diseases. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has placed a lot of pressure and stress on couples. In response to this, we are offering online relationship counselling across Australia in order to turn this around.
How online couples therapy can help strengthen your relationship
Are you facing challenges in your romantic relationship that are causing distress and making it difficult to connect with your partner? Online couples therapy can help you and your partner to communicate effectively, understand each other's needs, and build a stronger connection.
Through evidence-based therapy techniques like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an online relationship psychologist can provide you with the tools to cope with difficult situations, manage negative thoughts and behaviours, and improve intimacy. With the help of experienced and accommodating professionals, like those at Recharge Wellness, you can take the first step to building a healthier and happier relationship.
Every romantic companionship has its own way of responding to a crisis. For some, they can get easily angered or upset by the tiniest of disagreements. Others may find themselves withdrawing from their partner, unable to share their true feelings with each other. This can cause one or both partners to feel depressed or anxious to be around each other. When a conflict finds you and your loved one not seeing eye to eye, this is the time where you might need an outsider’s perspective to step in. That’s where online marriage counselling comes in.
There are many reasons why a couple may be feeling this way. It could be that you are having pressures such as financial or work issues. It could be that you haven’t had enough time to spend together, causing a decrease in intimacy and trust. Whatever the reason, it is important more than ever to book online couples therapy as early as possible.
Online relationship therapy is an evidence-based form of therapeutic treatment that works to promote a healthy connection and rapport. There are many different avenues that a relationship psychologist online only can work on in the upcoming sessions.
The main examples are Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We also base our sessions on the Gottman Therapy method which uses a variety of strategies, in order to increase intimacy.
ACT can be used to treat anxiety, addictive disorders, depression, and romantic crises. It works to allow you to accept what you are feeling or thinking instead of feeling guilty. This uses a range of therapeutic tools that we’ll go over in our online relationship therapy sessions, including mindfulness and acceptance skills, in order to assist patients to start to behave in a way that aligns with their own values.
ACT begins with a conversation involving the goals that the patient would like to achieve and how they are going to do this. ACT works to assist in teaching individuals how to forgive and accept feelings that affect intimacy such as insecurities and vulnerabilities. This model hopes to make sure you are well equipped to know how to handle times of distress to give you a better quality of life.
CBT looks at changing the negative thoughts you may have, implementing a variety of different strategies to overcome this. This works to shape our thinking in order to help us live a better quality of life. In addition to changing your thoughts, CBT works to change negative behaviour. All these tools which we’ll use in our online couples therapy, will work to provide you with the ability to cope with your own romantic crises to understand how to better handle the situation
Enhanced Communication
Every partnership consists of two different people, both of which have their own desires and needs. Because of this, a pair will have disagreements from time to time. When you are contradicting each other on every issue, this is the time where you might need a middleman to step in. Virtual marriage counselling experts will provide you with the tools to be able to communicate with each other effectively. Having the skill to know how to communicate with your significant other is a crucial aspect of any healthy partnership. There is evidence to make clear that couple breakdowns result from poor communication. During these online marriage counselling sessions, you will develop the core skills to learn how to speak successfully with your beloved, in communicate openly and vulnerably in your partnership. In this way, when a crisis hits you’ll know how to resolve the problem right away.
Improved Connection
During the beginning of any new partnership, it can be exciting with both significant others finding themselves spending a lot of time together. Soon after, the ‘honeymoon period’ starts to fade with people beginning to get dissatisfied in the relationship. Because of work, this may affect the quality of time that’s spent with each other. This may lead to couples finding less time to be intimate with one another or begin to find each other repulsive to spend time together. For significant others who have been together long term, it’s essential to find a balance of coming together and pulling apart as individuals. Online relationship counselling can help you get there
