The Benefits of Counselling.
A marriage is no different from anything else we do in life. To be successful requires hard work, patience and
investment. For a marriage to be successful it requires an investment of time and effort. Often couples strive hard
to be great at other pursuits but neglect the most important bond that holds a couple or family together, their
relationship. Couples may invest in bonds, property, and material goods. However, couples invest little in their
relationship but are surprised when things do not go as they wish.
At When Harry Married Sally we encourage married couples to invest regularly in their marriage whether or not
they are experiencing problems. A consultation every two years to evaluate your relationship and plan for the
changes that marriage brings through the years is recommended. This helps to ensure that you give your
marriage the very best chance of remaining fulfilling and healthy. Although counselling is very important for those
who are already experiencing problems in their marriage, all couples should consider the benefits of
consultations over time to reconnect with their spouse and keep the spark in their marriage.
Why book a consultation with Julia at When Harry Married Sally?
If you are like 35% of married people and would describe your marriage as just 'average' or 'below average' then
you would benefit from speaking with a Marriage Consultant. Marriage is an ongoing love affair with someone for
the rest of your life. Nobody chooses to be in an 'average' marriage. Couples should demand more from their
relationship. Don't settle for 50 years of feeling 'average'. Learn how to rekindle the flames. Bring back the thrill
of romance, the excitement of being with your best friend. Remember what it was that made you want to be with
your spouse in the beginning.
Julia does not only deal with the problems in your marriage by creating tailored solutions but works with you to
bring out the best in your relationship. No individual is the same, likewise every marriage is unique. Julia is
dedicated to making sure that your marriage is the very best it can be. What makes a consultation at When Harry
Married Sally different from other counselling sessions is that Julia deals only with issues that effect marriages.
Couples are not told that their relationship will be improved from just one consultation. There are no quick fixes.
Consultations occur over time.
What makes When Harry Married Sally unique is that for each hour a couple spends in consultation with Julia, she
commits to spending another hour researching and preparing for the next session the couple will spend with her.
This ensures that your consultation is tailored to your needs and that Julia is committed to your individual case.
Julia has herself been happily married for thirteen years and is the mother of four children.
What to expect from Marriage Counselling
When you have booked your initial consultation you may be wondering what happens during your counselling
session. It's understandable that you may feel uncomfortable or nervous in the beginning. You or your partner may
even question whether you have a need for counselling. Often couples experience a 'honeymoon' period after they
have booked their first appointment. This is common because often it is a relief when couples have reached the
decision to have counselling and their relationship appears to undergo a period when the issues which brought
them to the stage of seeking assistance don't seem as 'bad'. This feeling is only temporary and couples are
encouraged to keep their appointments.
Julia specialises in the issues that have a direct link to your relationship. During a session couples are
encouraged to explore ways to repair, heal or to enhance their marriage. The focus at all times is on the couple,
rather than the individual. Marriage counselling is about a couple's relationship with one another. If a partner is
dealing with issues that cannot be solved as a couple, a referral to a professional who can best work with this
problem will be made.
During the sessions Julia ensures that both spouses have equal 'air time'. It is expected that couples are
respectful towards on another throughout the session regardless of differences of opinions. Couples obtain the
best outcomes from counselling when they both contribute freely and honestly to the sessions.
How many sessions will you require?
Every marriage is unique, as are the issues which effect your relationship. Couples should never expect that there
is a 'quick fix' to their problems. Depending on the particulars of each case the number of sessions vary, but as a
rule couples can expect that they may need about six sessions of counselling.
There may be times when couples may feel that the changes they are trying to make in their relationship are not
making much difference. Couples should keep in mind that problems usually take time to resolve and new ways
of doing things take practice. At times it may be difficult for couples to see the progress they're making in the
middle of their journey. Couples are given the opportunity to evaluate their progress at regular intervals during the
sessions to highlight the improvements they have made to their relationship.
What should you expect from your counsellor?
The purpose of your sessions is to work towards a goal which couples identify during their initial consultation. The
role of your counsellor is to guide you to make informed choices about ways in which you can help heal, enhance,
repair, and renew your marriage. For couples to achieve the best outcomes from counselling they must be active
in the process. Julia provides the mediation and the expertise for couples as they work on finding realistic
solutions together.
Couples should feel comfortable during the counselling sessions and have the right to raise any concerns at all
times. Julia adheres to the Australian Counsellors Code of Ethics.

Julia established her marriage consultancy When Harry Married Sally as she was becoming aware that couples
were divorcing before they had explored every option to keep their relationship together. All too often couples only
seek counselling when they have reached a point in their marriage when they think that they can no longer live with
one another. In many cases those couples may have prevented their marriage from failing if they had in fact sought
assistance at an earlier stage in their relationship.
According to research (Nasser, 2007) ;
These statistics sadly reflect our current divorce rate which is as high as 46%.
