Relationship Rescue Institute of Australia

Over the years we had shut many doors for various reasons. Stan gave us great tools to not only doors open these doors but to open new ones as well. It is truly wonderful to have a greater understanding of each other and have happiness back into our relationship. Yes it was a tough haul and it will take ongoing commitment but it is so worth it. Thank you Stan, you are a true Gem

Stan's guidance helped both of us see where we were lacking and how to progress forward. He was able to verbalise our issues in a non-judgemental manner that was clear, concise and from a place of care and compassion. Appreciate everything he has done for us!

Stan is the best relationship counsellor we have ever met. His setting up of a safe space and techniques have improved our relationship and, even more importantly, given us tools to come back to which always work to reconnect us.

Working with Stan was an absolute game changer for our relationship. He taught us so much, and was so patient and lovely in his approach that I simply cannot recommend him highly enough. He taught us how to talk about one thing at a time, and to hear each other- no matter how hard the topic was to face. He also taught us how to recognise the good, and the growth in each other- and to share that in a way that we both understood. Knowing that our relationship will constantly be evolving, I won’t hesitate to use him again or recommend him to my friends- and I will say, reading the one negative review here? Very simply put, that doesn’t sound like Stan at all.

A genuinely wonderful man, and fantastic at what he does. Even if your relationship is going fantastically, he’s worth getting in touch with.

My partner Lachy and I found Stan during the lockdowns; and we, like many others (I'm sure). Were struggling with the feeling of being trapped in a home together 24/7, it was bringing up alot having both grew up in abusive households. Stan assisted us greatly with his wisdom, tools and knowledge, we are both very grateful for our time with him; he set us on a path for success - and I'm not sure where we would have been without him. All the blessings Stan, hope you're well!

I've got nothing but the highest praise for Stan. The Imago theory, for me was revelatory and Stan brought it to life beautifully. His firm, compassionate approach laced with humour creates a safe space for even the most challenging and confronting conversation.

Thank you Stan for all of your wisdom and guidance and for teaching us how to communicate with each other with compassion and kindness. The tools that you have taught us will continue to serve us to continue to grow closer over time.

We have been with Stan through difficult times and have the highest regard with the help he has provided. We have been given tools to help nourish our relationship as well as a safe place to share.
Stan has an warm manner and we feel fortunate to have had his guidance and support over a number of years.

Stan is quite simply, wonderful. My partner and I came to Stan with a relationship in crisis. He was a lifesaver, from the very first session we felt things improving between us.

Stan’s many years of experience, his compassion, sensitivity and even humour made us both feel safe and heard throughout the process, never judged.

With his help and the IMAGO process we learned skills we still use daily - among them, ways to listen and communicate without conflict or blame. We transformed from a very strained relationship to one where we can talk calmly and honestly about anything. Two years on from our sessions, my partner and I are now married, happier than we ever thought possible. Thank you Stan, for this eduction, we are eternally grateful.

Stan the Man! Having visited Stan over the past 12 months he sheds a new light and a new approach to communication between my wife and I. Illogical views even though illogical are still views - the fear is still there and the fear is real. Stan taught us to discuss issues in a different way and a way that actually works. Thank you Stan! Highly Recommended

Stan, this is for you. Your experience, genuinelss and authenticity makes you a great counsellor. Your service to our community is invaluable.

Stan relies on a psuedo-scientific approach to an emotional connection, an approach that is dangerous at best, and negligent at worst. Stan has no formal qualifications as a relationship counseller and relies on highly opinionated methods to guide couples, treating a relationship as work, instead of an enjoyable union. We found he created more relationship issues for us instead of solving them.

Finally, we found that blaming your own parents for your issues is not a solution or tool to help with personal growth in the long run (something that Stan relies on heavily).
