Couples counselling
We offer couples counselling to support partners at all stages of their relationship — whether you’re navigating challenges, feeling disconnected, or wanting to strengthen communication and understanding. Couples counselling provides a safe, neutral space to explore concerns openly, improve emotional connection, and work towards healthier patterns together.
What Couples Counselling May Involve
Sessions are tailored to each couple and may include:
- Improving communication and conflict resolution
- Understanding recurring patterns or triggers within the relationship
- Exploring emotional needs, boundaries, and attachment styles
- Rebuilding trust following conflict, betrayal, or life stressors
- Supporting couples through life transitions or external pressures
The focus is on helping both partners feel heard, supported, and understood.
Common Issues Addressed
Couples counselling may support concerns such as:
- Communication breakdown or frequent conflict
- Emotional distance or loss of intimacy
- Trust issues, infidelity, or betrayal
- Anxiety, stress, or mental health concerns impacting the relationship
- Parenting challenges or differing values
- Adjustment to major life changes (e.g. injury, illness, work stress, relocation)
Therapeutic Approaches Used
Our psychologists draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, which may include:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Gottman-informed interventions
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) strategies
- Attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches
Therapy is always adapted to the needs, goals, and dynamics of each couple.
Fees & Medicare
Please note that couples counselling is not eligible for Medicare rebates, including Mental Health Care Plans. Sessions are provided on a private-fee basis. Some private health funds may offer rebates under extras cover — we recommend checking directly with your insurer.
