Why Counselling?

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP

In any relationship, there are always misunderstandings, misgivings and disagreements.

​

But when small disagreements regularly turn into full-blown arguments, annoyance into irritation that really gets under your skin, and frustration into anger… then you’re in trouble.

​

Your relationship can totally unravel, until one day you wake up to find your once-blissful relationship shattered and the love of your life no longer wants to have anything to do with you.

​

ARE YOU ABOUT TO GET MARRIED?

Avoid the common pitfalls and disasters that nearly all relationships will experience by attaining skills and understanding that will enable you to navigate safely through conflicts turning them into rewarding challenges.

​

JUST MARRIED & EXPERIENCING FAILED EXPECTATIONS?

Marriage can create very high ideals in each person and this can set a couple for a crash not long after the celebration. Learn how to set realistic and workable ideas and values ( for both of you) that will support and guide the marriage to a healthy, loving and sustainable future.

 

MARRIED 20 YEARS & WONDERING WHAT THERE IS TO CELEBRATE?

All relationships no matter how long they have survived will need a complete renewal of perception and a surprising revival of emotion to see them thrive once again. This will be exciting and support you to find new reasons and ways to love better than ever before.

What couples have said about
Heart n Soul Matters

"I can only thank the universe and of course you Ross, for coming into my life. You gave me one of the most valuable tools that I could ever have in life, The Art of Relationship"

- Patricia, Brisbane

"When I met Ross, I was overwhelmed with anxiety, fear and a failing relationship. I'm steadily turning back into my functioning self. I feel a kind of healing. My relationship is holding steady and I am feeling better every day"

- Mike, Brisbane

“Thank you John for showing us how easy it is to connect in our hearts again after so many years feeling alone in our relationship. To be able to feel love again in the first session, when I thought all was lost is amazing”! What a skill to learn. 

- Harry & Kate

“I walked into the first session with my partner feeling all was lost, that I was the cause of all our suffering, that it was all just way too hard. I walk out now proud knowing I have the ability to feed my relationship's heart with love, my kid's hearts. My heart! I now know the power of 'feelings' and want to express them! I had no clue what I was missing out on. With John’s support I now understand what love is…Thankyou".

-Melisa & Alice.

“I was so frightened of expressing my feelings for fear of being hurt. I was taught that to be vulnerable was weak. So I just closed up. I don’t do that anymore. I live".

- Sally

John Saunders

Relationship & Trauma Counsellor

I offer clients the opportunity to connect with their partner and develop the skill of maintaining connection.

​

Relationships and keeping connected with those that are most important to me have always been my greatest interest since I was in my mid-20s.

Over 40 years, I have always found it naturally beneficial to surround myself with people who are devoted to further educate me in the ‘skill of creating and maintaining connection’. I am grateful I can pass these skills on.

​

My specific interest and study over 30 years have enabled me to help male and female clients heal from trauma, grief and loss. My specific field has been in supporting adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I have been a guest speaker in Australia, New Zealand, England and the United States. for more information go to www.jsaunders.com.au.
