Already Taken the Relationship Strength Assessment?
Strengthen Your Relationship with the Relationship Repair Kit
Your assessment results can help you see what’s working well in your relationship, where things may be under strain, and what areas need more care.
The next step is knowing what to do with those insights.
The Relationship Repair Kit, created by Couples Counsellor Jacqueline Hogan, gives you practical tools and guided resources to begin strengthening your relationship from the comfort of home.
Common Challenges Couples Face
Has your relationship seen better days?
All couples have their ups and downs but when you have that sinking feeling, it’s time to take notice.
I’ve created the Relationship Strength Assessment to help you pinpoint what’s really going on in your relationship, and what to do next.
Many couples who see me for Couples Counselling, have a long list of issues causing tension and conflict in the relationship. But here’s the thing, many of these problems I consider ‘resolvable’, and while they may seem overwhelming now, the assessment will help you pinpoint specific areas to focus on.
Common challenges that couples face, which the Relationship Strength Assessment can help with, include:
- Poor communication — Are you misunderstanding each other, avoiding hard conversations, or struggling to feel heard?
- Emotional distance — Are feelings, needs or concerns being left unsaid?
- Blame and criticism — Do conversations quickly become defensive or focused on who is at fault?
- Avoidance and disconnection — Are issues being swept under the rug until they become harder to repair?
- Trust issues — Have dishonesty, broen promises or uncertainty affected the relationship?
- Boundary concerns — Are personal limits being ignored, crossed or poorly understood?
- Everyday resentment — Are responsibilities, household standards or reliability issues creating ongoing tension?
- Lack of shared direction — Are you struggling to align on your future, values or long-term goals?
The assessment helps you step back and look at your relationship more clearly, so you can begin focusing on what matters most.
Why Relationship Strength Matters
When key areas of a relationship are under strain, the relationship can feel more fragile. Small issues can escalate quickly, setbacks hit harder, and both partners may find it harder to feel safe, supported and understood.
A stronger relationship gives you a better foundation to work from.
Strengthening your relationship can help you:
- Feel more secure and supported
- Communicate with more care and less defensiveness
- Repair conflict sooner
- Rebuild trust and emotional safety
- Feel more valued, heard and understood
- Make better decisions together
- Create a calmer home environment
- Reconnect around shared hopes and goals
- Strengthen your relationship before problems grow
Your assessment gives you a starting point. The Relationship Repair Kit gives you practical tools to keep going.
Introducing the Relationship Repair Kit
Strengthen Your Relationship from the Comfort of Home
Guided Relationship Repair
The Relationship Repair Kit is designed for couples who want to start working on their relationship at their own pace, with practical tools and gentle guidance.
Create clarity, connection and a positive reset from the comfort of home.
At the heart of the kit is the Relationship Repair Kit Guidebook – a clear, step-by-step guide that brings the resources together and helps you know where to start, what to focus on, and how to use each tool in a meaningful way.
Rather than giving you a collection of helpful resources and leaving you to work it out alone, the guidebook helps you move through the kit with more structure and confidence.
Helpful Relationship Resources in One Clear Pathway
The Relationship Repair Kit brings together Jacqui’s practical couples resources into one clear pathway, so you are not left wondering where to start or how to use each tool.
Use:
- Smooth Conversations to support calmer communication
- Life Values to create shared meaning and deeper understanding
- Love Sparks to rebuild warmth, appreciation and everyday connection.
These tools are designed to help you reflect, talk, reconnect and take practical steps together.
Guided Support Resources
The kit also includes additional resources to support reflection, reconnection and emotional steadiness as you work through the process.
Vision Board Kit
Explore shared hopes and goals for the next chapter of your relationship.
Use the Vision Board Kit to reflect on the kind of relationship you want to create together, and begin shaping a more hopeful direction for the future.
Think, Love & Kindness Program
A mindfulness and self-compassion program to support patience, emotional awareness and calmer responses as you reconnect.
This resource is especially helpful when emotions feel high, old patterns are triggered, or you need support returning to a more grounded state.

For In-Person Couples Counselling Support
