For Couples Drifting Apart

Let’s turn the tide and get love flowing in the right direction again.

With compassionate support and practical tools, I help couples navigate even the most complex challenges. Together, we’ll work to rebuild your connection and create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship by addressing issues such as…

Ongoing Conflict

Out-of-control arguments and escalating conflict can strain your relationship and impact those around you, including your children. But with the right tools and support, you can restore calm, and create a more harmonious home.

Broken Trust & Betrayal

Broken trust, lies, and betrayal can deeply harm a relationship, and it’s no surprise that infidelity is a leading cause of separation and divorce. However, through Couples Counselling and fostering a shared understanding, forgiveness and a path forward can become a reality.

Negative Sentiment

Constantly focusing on the negative and holding onto resentment can slowly erode the connection in your relationship. Left unchecked, it can make communication and understanding feel impossible. But with guidance, you can break the cycle, rediscover the positives in each other, and rebuild a stronger, more compassionate relationship.

Broken Communication

Criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling—known as the 'Four Horsemen'—are clear signs of broken communication. While these behaviours can be destructive, a fresh approach can help you replace them with calm, respectful, and healthy ways to communicate.

Severed Connection

Mismatched values, differing goals, and diverging life paths can leave your relationship feeling disconnected. But disconnection doesn’t have to spell the end. By discovering shared hopes, and dreams, with a renewed sense of care, you can reignite the affection, and create a future filled with meaning and purpose.

Avoidant Behaviour

Avoiding the problems in your relationship is a heavy burden to carry leaving you drained and overwhelmed. Depression, sadness, poor sleep, and low energy are common signs of this burden. While some may seek comfort elsewhere, true relief comes from facing the issues together and finding lasting solutions that work for both of you.

Lingering Resentment

Lingering resentment is like a sharp stone in your shoe—always present, making every step painful. While distractions may offer temporary relief, unresolved resentment takes a toll on your mental health and quality of life. By addressing these feelings, healing old wounds, and finding peace, you can transform your relationship and walk a more fulfilling path together.

Unrelenting Pressure & Stress

Daily stress from work, family, finances, children, and health challenges can quickly compound, creating unrelenting pressure on your relationship. Left unmanaged, this stress can spill over into destructive behaviours that destabilise your relationship. By turning toward each other and offering mutual support, you can manage stress in healthy ways and maintain balance in your relationship.

Unfulfilled Dreams & Desires

Frustration and unfulfilled dreams can leave you feeling like life is passing you by. Over time, this sense of emptiness can lead to desperation and loneliness, putting your relationship at risk. But it’s never too late to rediscover your dreams, rekindle hope, and create a fulfilling future together.

Repair Your Relationship

Turn your relationship around with effective couples therapy and save your relationship from further harm.

Reduce Conflict in Your Relationship

Reduce conflict in your relationship by learning to de-escalate tensions and manage emotions with ease. Address underlying issues calmly and embrace a new, healthier way of communicating that brings you closer together.

Rebuild Trust & Support Each Other

Rebuild trust and support each other by working through infidelity, betrayal, and broken trust in a safe and compassionate space. Move beyond feelings of grief, shame, and guilt toward forgiveness and understanding. Together, you can create a stronger relationship built on new standards and healthy communication for a closer, loving connection.

Cherish & Respect Each Other

Cherish and respect each other by letting go of negative thoughts and feelings that cloud your relationship. Break free from unhelpful patterns and behaviours, and welcome positive sentiment into your relationship. Start seeing the ‘good’ in your partner more often and feel closer, happier, accepted, and truly loved.

Healthy Communication

Eliminating the 'Four Horsemen' from your relationship is essential for healing and growth to begin. Once these destructive patterns are behind you, you’ll discover how to have healthy, and respectful conversations that ensure you both feel truly heard and understood.

Create Warm Connection

Discover your shared values and create new rituals of connection. Feel valued and supported by your partner. Find common ground and know how to resolve tension early, to preserve your connection.

Understand there is hope, and change is possible.

Taking Responsibility

True empowerment begins with taking responsibility. Break free from negative thought patterns and outdated beliefs. Strengthen your character, refine your identity, and embrace a renewed sense of purpose to become the best partner you can be. By living in alignment with your values, you can create peace, harmony, and fulfilment in your relationship.

Find Forgiveness & Acceptance

Let go of the past and find forgiveness to repair your relationship for the long term. Build hope for the future with an inspiring shared vision, and deepen trust through positive and loving behaviours.

Reduce Stress with Love & Kindness

Reduce stress with love and kindness. Create healthy boundaries and find positive outlets to protect your relationship. Support one another and work together as a team to navigate life’s challenges with care and understanding.

Fulfilment & Life Balance

Keep your relationship on track with a renewed sense of self-awareness and relational awareness. Create a fulfilling life balance by tuning into each other’s needs and exploring new ways to strengthen the love and connection you share.

Change is Just a Conversation Away

Attending Jacqueline Hogan's "Save Our Marriage" retreat was a truly transformative experience for my partner and me. We were at a critical point in our relationship, but Jacqueline's compassionate and insightful approach provided us with the tools and perspective we needed to reconnect. She created a safe space for open communication, allowing us to address our challenges and rediscover the love that brought us together. We left the retreat feeling more connected and with a clear path forward. I highly recommend this retreat to any couple looking to strengthen their relationship and create a marriage 2.0!

My partner and I were in a very dark place before we met Jacqui, I was not confident we could find a way back. I’m so grateful to have found Jacqui. With her support, professionalism and the arsenal of tools she has provided for us, our relationship is now better than it has been for a decade.

I am so glad that we chose Jacqueline to be our relationship counsellor. Just when it seemed to my wife and I that there was no way forward together, thankfully one of the few things that we agreed upon was choosing Jacqueline from all of the counselling services that we could see online. The Save My Marriage program did exactly that for us. We are communicating like we never had in the past, and we have restored intimacy, love, and trust to our relationship. I feel we are on solid foundations now, and we have both learned to forgive, and how to become better partners.
Dr Janine ArnoldClient Review
Working with Jacqui was very rewarding for me. I am now in control of my life, and I can believe in myself again. I was able to develop an excellent rapport with Jacqui, I would definitely recommend her to others.

Jacqueline was highly professional, experienced, caring, positive and knowledgeable in my experience. She provided easy to follow tools and advice to both of us for communicating in a better way to improve our relationship, and space to do so while being considerate of our emotional well-being too. It feels scary and emotional at times but also worth doing the work, I valued her honesty and intent on a good outcome, and trust in her abilities to help couples during difficult times in their relationship.
Rachael CollinsClient Review
I would highly recommend Jacqui. Her knowledge and tools helped us mend and save our marriage when we were stuck and thought there was little hope of recovering. We committed to her step by step program that we worked through together; Which taught us to communicate and work through our issues.

We came in feeling hopeless and preparing for divorce and left with hope.
Kate KoopmansClient Review
I went off the tracks a few times and nearly crashed but with the tools provided in the program, I used those to avoid crashing and steered my way back onto the track.
ConfidentialClient Review
By the 12th appointment it was really clear why Jacqui structures the program the way she has. We did the majority of our sessions via Zoom calls, this worked really well for us with young kids and having a distance to travel to get to Bendigo. The program is very confronting and you learn a lot about yourself and your partner, but Jacqui is very supportive and adds cheeky humour to lighten the mood along the way. Our marriage is still not perfect, but we are getting there and the tools and techniques we learnt throughout the program will be with us for life. For this, I thank you Jacqui and would recommend you to anyone of any age.

A FClient Feedback
"Our communication has been great! Conversations have been enjoyable and [husband] is really enjoying the deep breathing exercises and meditation."
ConfidentialClient Feedback
"I think we are making progress as we have talked a lot more openly about this recent issue and moved on a lot quicker than we would have in the past. I had a lot of self awareness around my responses and reactions and have not punished him for the mistake. I’m feeling much better this morning."
