The Hart Centre Associate Psychologist Program

At The Hart Centre we are a team of Psychologists and Couple and Family Therapists passionate about relationships and professional excellence in our field.

Established by Psychologist Julie Hart on the Gold Coast, we have been in operation for 15 years.

Our mission is to be the most highly regarded relationship help service in Australia, by delivering a comprehensive range of the highest quality relationship counselling, immediate phone support and advice, and books to offer immediate help for client’s relationship problems and educate clients to enhance their relationships.

 The unique features of our therapeutic approach are our focus on 3 key elements:

1.     Meeting clients  wants and needs, including effective short term therapy, value for money, and promptly at the time of need.

2.     A positive and practical approach. We balance hearing each client’s story and issues with a movement into a positive approach to resolution.

3.     Deeper insight into the dynamics and personality contributions, to enable clients to make changes with a new understanding.

With a very high therapeutic success rate combined with an effective marketing plan, we are experiencing huge demand and growth and are currently expanding across Australia.
