What's The Best Way to Fix My Relationship? Couples Counselling? Books? Videos? Or Courses?

Why Collaborating with a Professional Trumps Books and Resources for Lasting Relationship Success

In today’s fast-paced world, relationship education is often overlooked in the global education system. While books and online resources offer helpful tips, they simply can't compare to the transformative power of working directly with a skilled professional. Effective relationship guidance requires face-to-face collaboration, where couples can unpack their issues, role-play scenarios, and make gradual behavioral changes with expert support. This hands-on approach is the key to lasting success.

I often tell the wonderful couples I support that working opposite your partner can save years of individual therapy and, of course, a lot of extra costs. We choose our partners based on our own wounds, and therefore, working with an experienced facilitator is the best and only way to heal or strengthen the bond. Most importantly, for the process to work beautifully, it requires 100% commitment from BOTH parties. When this isn't the case, no matter how brilliant a relationship coach or therapist is, the bond won't thrive and will eventually end unless the couple decides that they like the dysfunction and it works for them. Sometimes, though not often, this can also be the case.

At The Edge Counselling, I emphasize the importance of this direct, personalized support. My 4 Double Couples Sessions Discount Pack offers couples the chance to work through challenges with professional guidance, enhanced by the Prepare/Enrich Relationship Health Test—a globally leading, evidence-based tool. While videos and books are great starting points, they can’t replace the invaluable experience of a trained facilitator who can help you implement real change.

With the help of these tools and sessions, couples aren’t just learning new concepts—they’re actively engaging in transforming their behaviors and strengthening their bond. Gradual behavioral changes guided by a professional lead to lasting improvements, ensuring couples not only survive but thrive in their relationships.

If you’re ready to take your relationship to the next level, The Edge Counselling in Subiaco, Perth is here to help. Let’s build stronger, happier relationships—because education alone isn't enough without the collaboration of an expert. Take the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship today.
