My Relationship Journey by John Donlon

What qualifies me to be a couple counsellor and relationship coach?

I have the therapy and coaching diplomas and the experience but more importantly - I have been there - perhaps somewhere similar to where you are today.

My story

When I fell in love in years ago, everything seemed more than perfect it was amazing! I had met someone who I could talk with for hours, with a fantastic spiritual connection which was here and real.

As the relationship progressed issues came out which touched on my own fears; fear of intimacy, fear of connection, and commitment issues and these impacted the relationship. In the end my partner got tired and despondent and we broke up. That was one of the most devastating experiences of my life.

I realised that in order to have a successful and loving relationship I needed to sort out my own deep relationship patterns to be able to hold a relationship successfully.  I went on a journey and searched for a suitable relationship therapist to work with, but none of them resonated with me, they all had the same training and just wanted to listen. 

I then found a relationship coach in America who coached and mentored me to go deep into my personal journey, recognized my strengths, and my vulnerabilities, and taught me a tremendous amount in a way which included understanding but went beyond that to living what I knew to be true - and it created a foundation to experience intimate relationships in a new way.

My personal life and relationships which had always been really promising became stronger, more aligned with who I really am, with my values, beliefs, and I transformed my life.

Though things were still sometimes challenging, I had a fundamental understanding of how things went wrong and more importantly how relationships worked, and this guided me through even the toughest times in my new relationship to use issues to become even closer, more fulfilled, and excited in how things were going.

I was then so fortunate to meet my partner, Linda who had an amazing capacity to see how she was and grow - with kindness and insight, vivacious and alive, loving dancing and with an appreciative and creative sense of humor which I love.

What gives our relationship it's strength is that we love and respect each other and we use any conflicts as an opportunity to understand the other more deeply to grow even closer. 

Heart of relationships

We created the Heart of Relationships to offer couples a unique couple counselling and relationship coaching platform.

We have been where you are today and utilise our own past, experiences and transformations, as well as our professional training to provide a service which really help couples.

My partner Linda's amazing way of working as a therapist with the body, and mind-body connections, and sexuality, her wisdom and sense of fun combined beautifully with me personally - and as my professional work is a pure extension of who I truly am, this translated into the amazingly successful transformational process couples come to in the Heart of Relationships.

We can help you now.

Couples come for different reasons.

You may want to resolve issues which cause constant arguments - and you may be afraid or reluctant - of resolving them because to go there has meant pain in the past.

The Heart of Relationships gives you a space where you can do just that, safely, kindly, and clearly, being held be experts who are living their passion and who have a passion for you and your partner, in helping you create the best relationships possible.

And it means a lot to us, because we are not just working with you from a distance, we have and are doing it ourselves. Our hearts are in it. We are living our joy.

Whatever you situation, there is hope. And there is expert professional caring help available, when you are ready to resolve issues and the things you care for.
