"It is my joy to me to see marital bonding restored s I often see that happen at a Christian marriage retreat." George

 
  A Christian marriage counselling retreat transforms lives while restoring love, connection and bonding to couples.  I enjoy seeing 'little miracles' happen in people's lives.  Life transformation of personality and identity is one of my niches.  Couple work takes dedication and persistence but I have helped couples that others were willing to give up on.

More detail about a Christian Intensive Marriage Therapy with George Hartwell

George Hartwell M.Sc. - Christian counsellor - provides intensive marriage therapy so that a couple may invest enough resources in a short time to reverse a marital breakdown.

If you are in a crisis situation a set of sessions can be arranged within a few weeks.  I am is willing to work on Saturday and Sunday as well as Monday through Friday to make it work for you.

Usually the intensive therapy is done at my office.  Sometimes I will come to your location if there is a good office to meet in and a place for me to stay that is not the client's home.  This involves extra costs for my travel, meals and accommodation.

Generally there are very good reports from intensive marital work.  Couples report that issues are addressed in depth and thoroughness that was not possible with weekly one hour sessions.  I recently worked with a couple who had accessed at least 6 different counsellors in the duration of their marriage.  They were pleased and felt positive with the results they experienced after 15 hours of intensive work over a weekend.

Couple therapy is very much focused on communication and resolving those issues that hinder deeper attachment, allow deeper bonding and resolving blocks to trust.  My tools and skills at individual life transformation are usually in the background unless the clear agenda is to address individual root issues.

On one occasion two pastors observed as I worked for a week with a couple where individual transformation was called for.  The two pastors had worked with them (using a deliverance model) for over a year.  The elder pastor observed: "This has been quite amazing. It has seemed to short-circuit stuff quite immensely. It has been very powerful, useful and exciting to see it go.  You have achieved what we died not achieve."

The younger man observed: "The nice thing from my perspective is that out of the many things in a person's past and in the aspects of yourself that you are not even aware of, Jesus leads just exactly to the spot that needs to be dealt with. It gets dealt with and then you are to the next spot.  So the precision in dealing with what has to be dealt with is a nice part of this."

My Board of Reference will provide life references if you phone them.  Here are some clergy who have known me from a small prayer group and my Board of Reference:   

I highly recommend George as a man of integrity, and would have no trouble recommending him as a wise counsellor.  Rev. Andy Leroux

"I recommend George as a counsellor. He is a wise man with much experience."  Rev. Bill Comerford

On reflecting on their intensive marriage sessions one woman wrote: "Our weekend with George proved to be a great springboard to learning more about each other, and how to then use what we learned to better communicate and appreciate each other's point of view.  It's amazing how much our history shapes us - and then again, how much we forget to share our history with each other. It's the seemingly insignificant points that actually become like a spot light shedding vision on how to better become one."
