Looking for Marriage Counselling?

Through his structured Marriage Breakthrough Program, Stephen helps couples understand the deeper dynamic behind their disconnection, learn what must change, and determine whether their marriage can be responsibly rebuilt.

Business Owner Testimonial: Tim and I went to see Stephen Hedger because after nearly twenty years together our relationship seemed to have fallen into an unhappy rut which neither of us knew how to get out of, home became quite hostile.

The results have far exceeded our expectations. Stephen appears somehow to have re-focused our hearts and minds and completely turned us around. Tim & I feel immensely grateful to Stephen and would highly recommend him.

When a marriage is in crisis, couples naturally focus on the problems they can see: arguments, emotional distance, loss of intimacy, resentment, affairs, or the possibility of divorce.

But these are often symptoms of a deeper dynamic that has developed between them.

Without understanding that dynamic, couples can spend years trying to fix the wrong problems. 

They repeat the same conversations, misunderstand each other, lose trust and respect, and eventually conclude that they are incompatible or that the marriage is beyond repair.

It helps couples understand what has happened between them, why their attempts to repair the relationship have not worked, and what they need to learn and practise to create a different dynamic.

This is why the programme is educational, practical and structured. The couple is not simply asked to discuss their problems. 

They are taught how to understand each other, communicate differently, meet each other’s needs, repair conflict, rebuild trust and respect, and create the conditions for emotional and sexual reconnection.

The Marriage Breakthrough Program is a structured, educational and practical approach designed to help couples understand the patterns that have taken them from love and connection to conflict and disconnection.

It is not about assigning blame or repeatedly revisiting the past. It is about understanding what is happening now, learning what needs to change, and giving both partners clear steps to rebuild the relationship.

1. A clear, practical path forward
Many couples want to know: “What do we need to do differently?”

The program gives couples a clear path from where they are now to where they want to be, broken down into manageable steps.

It is designed to be accessible to both partners, including those who may find highly emotional or open-ended conversations difficult.

2. The focus is on understanding before analysing the past
The past is explored when it is actively affecting the couple’s ability to create the relationship they want. 

Rather than revisiting history for its own sake, the focus remains on identifying what is maintaining the current problem and what can be done to change it.

3. It is educational
Most couples have never been taught the key factors that influence connection, conflict, trust and emotional safety.

Without that understanding, they can unknowingly repeat the same patterns while believing the problem is their partner, their personality or the marriage itself.

The program helps couples understand what has been happening beneath the surface.

4. It accounts for meaningful differences between partners
Men and women can differ in how they process emotion, communicate, interpret conflict and respond under pressure.

These differences are not used to stereotype either partner. They are explored so each person can better understand the other’s internal world and adjust their expectations with greater compassion and accuracy.

5. It rebuilds the foundations first
When a couple is already distressed, beginning with an intense focus on everything that is wrong can increase hopelessness.

The initial focus is on rebuilding understanding, emotional safety and the foundations required for productive conversations.

6. It shifts couples from helplessness to action
As couples learn what genuinely supports each other’s needs, they begin to experience progress.

That progress creates confidence. They are no longer only discussing the problem. They are learning how to respond differently in real situations.

7. It restores the conditions relationships depend on
Trust and respect are not abstract ideas. They are built through repeated experiences of being understood, considered and treated safely.

Rebuilding these foundations gives the relationship a stronger basis for reconnection and long-term change.

The program does not assume the marriage is the problem. It helps couples understand the dynamic that has developed between them, so they can begin creating a different one.

Stephen shares his story

Without strong foundations the couple will always struggle

When couples learn what to do that builds powerfully strong foundations they can quickly change their relationship and this is the start of how they are getting fast, lasting results.

• Couples that were arguing learn how to understand each other.
• Couples whose intimacy had died were reconnected.
• Individuals that fell out of love, successful reconnected.

These stories and many more are typical once the couple learn the foundations that lead to success.

The foundation consists of many factors. Without these key factors the relationship will always struggle and for many fail.

Leaving a marriage without this knowledge can cause future repeat of the same problems...

Below are a few of the critical factors that make up the foundations

that pulls couples back from the edge of divorce

1. Freedom to be who you are

Most people with relationship problems lose a sense of who they are as they try to cope with their problems

2. Differences between the sexes

Not understanding how your partner thinks and feels will create massive problems. Men and women naturally see the world very differently.

3. Effective Communication

Couples with problems can really struggle to communicate with each other. Understanding why and how to correct this is critical.

4. Understand the importance of needs

Understanding and meeting each others needs is critical. Most couples have no idea how to do this and this leads to a loss of trust.

5. How to grow closer from conflict

Growing closer from conflict is the fastest way to rebuild trust and respect the no.1 problem that leads to divorce.

6. How sexual connection happens

Sexual connection struggles if the couple don’t meet each others needs. When the needs are not met the trust dies.

These are just a few of the influencing factors that couples will need to understand

Home life had become hostile

Tim and I went to see Stephen Hedger because after nearly twenty years together our relationship seemed to have fallen into an unhappy rut which neither of us knew how to get out of.

Tension, resentment and insecurities crept in over several years and gradually increased to the point that the atmosphere at home became quite hostile which affected our children and made everyone unhappy.

We had several sessions with Stephen over three months.  It’s hard to describe Stephen’s methods but he has a remarkable knowledge and perception of people, their brains and emotional responses.

The results have far exceeded our expectations.  We had hoped to get out of the unhappy rut and stop the negative spiral our relationship had developed. 

Without wishing to sound weird or cheesy, Stephen appears somehow to have re focused our hearts and minds and completely turned us around.

Tim & I feel immensely grateful to Stephen and would highly recommend him, he’s very good value!

Tim and Jill - Banker and Housewife

She told me it was over

My wife told me out of the blue that she loved me but wasn’t in love with me anymore. This came as a complete shock to me.

As we have a young child we agreed that we would go and see a couples counsellor – The sessions were bleak, depressing and frankly fairly poisonous – they made us both feel awful about ourselves and our relationship.

One day I found Stephen’s website and it was clear that his approach was completely different. I called his office straight away and spoke to him later that day. We only spoke for 10 minutes but those 10 minutes made more sense and gave me more hope than several hours with the previous counsellor ever did.

We moved into his premium 3 month programme. This was the best decision we made. Stephen clearly put a huge amount of thought and planning into our couples sessions and that paid massive dividends for us.

We have now reconnected and are rebuilding our marriage with huge hope for the future and a completely different understanding of ourselves, each other and our relationship.

Stephen but he has already worked a miracle for us. Day by day our relationship is getting better and better when a short time ago I was convinced it was over. I cannot thank him enough for saving my marriage and my family from a situation which seemed completely devoid of hope.

Dear Stephen

With your help, we got to understand each other and from that we could defuse tensions that existed in our own minds, not necessarily real for both of us.

Working on our relationship never stops, but thanks to the help we got through working with you, we are in a much better place, and a place that now will hopefully require only us to discuss, understand and resolve.

Thank you.

Everybody, you can’t always solve it yourselves. So if you need guidance, Stephen is probably the best chance you have of cutting to the quick and saving the good you know you have but need someone else to voice it.

Thank you Stephen. We are fine. We are in love, and we are growing together.*

I was on the verge of breaking a 4 year relationship

At the beginning of the year my relationship was at such a low point I was on the verge of breaking a 4 year relationship which left me in a state of anguish.

As a last ditch effort I made an appointment with Stephen Hedger, admittedly not holding out much hope?

Much to my surprise after as little as three meetings I found that there had been a marked improvement in my relationship and that I was fundamentally a lot more positive in salvaging the situation of hopelessness I felt I was in.

Stephen Hedger communicated with clarity and provided us with the tools not only to fix problems today but tools to fix problems for tomorrow.

I am now very happy in my relationship and look to the future with optimism.*

Discovering their root problem is half the battle

How do the couple ensure the changes will last?

All relationships need feeding. If the couple are meeting their needs whilst giving each other what they really want the relationship will grow.

The couple will be given the tools to enable them to repair the relationship fast when problems strike. This keeps resentments down and pleasure attachments up.

Couples learn how to do this so it works and becomes part of their relationship. Men and women need this differently and it’s critical to learn how.

Once the couple have rebuild their trust and respect for each other. From this position the couple can craft an exciting future together.

Once the couple understand how to communicate they are free to share and explore each other in ways that will lead to a deeper understanding.

The couple will learn on their journey how to spark the passion in each other. This becomes easy once the foundations are in place.
