Relationship Issues
Maroubra Psychologists

Navigate Relationship Issues with Professional Support
Our relationships — with partners, family, friends, and colleagues — play a vital role in our emotional wellbeing. But when relationship issues arise, they can cause significant stress, confusion, and distress.
At Hendriks Psychology, we support individuals who are struggling with relationship challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by conflict, facing communication difficulties, or working through trust concerns, our experienced psychologists are here to help you better understand your relationships and develop healthier patterns of connection.
How We Help
You don’t need to be in couples therapy to explore relationship issues. Many people seek support on their own to process challenges, gain perspective, and build stronger interpersonal skills.
Our psychologists create a safe and supportive space for you to explore the issues impacting your relationships. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and other relational frameworks, we help you:
- Identify and understand unhelpful patterns
- Improve communication and emotional awareness
- Manage conflict more effectively
- Set healthy boundaries
- Heal from past relationship trauma
- Navigate life transitions like separation, parenthood, or loss
Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in a romantic relationship, struggling with family dynamics, or finding it hard to maintain friendships, we’re here to support you in building healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Anyone experiencing relationship difficulties, whether in a romantic partnership, marriage, friendship, or family relationship, can benefit from counselling.
The length of therapy varies depending on the concerns being addressed, but many couples or individuals notice improvements within a few sessions.
Counselling provides the tools and guidance to work through challenges, but both partners must be open to change and committed to the process.
We support individuals dealing with a wide range of relationship issues — including romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, workplace challenges, and more. If it’s affecting your emotional wellbeing, we’re here to help.
No. Many people seek support individually to work through relationship difficulties. You don’t need to attend with a partner — our psychologists can help you gain clarity, develop healthier communication skills, and make empowered decisions on your own.
