Relationship Counselling
Relationship counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore the challenges, patterns and emotions that arise in any of your connections - whether with a partner, family member, friend or colleague. It’s designed to help you feel understood, gain clarity about your needs and develop practical tools for healthier communication, stronger boundaries and more fulfilling relationships across all areas of your life.
Healthier Connections in Every Area of Life
Relationships are at the heart of our wellbeing - whether with partners, family, friends or colleagues. They can bring joy, support and meaning but they can also be challenging, confusing or painful at times.
Individual relationship counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore the patterns, challenges and emotions that arise in your connections. It’s designed to help you feel understood, gain clarity about your needs and develop practical tools for healthier communication, trust and boundaries - so you can move forward with greater confidence and more fulfilling relationships.

Common Struggles in Relationships
Ongoing
conflict or
frequent misunderstanding
Feeling distant, disconnected or unsupported
Trust issues or unresolved past hurts
Navigating separation, loss or uncertainty in a relationship
Difficulty setting healthy boundaries with family, friends or colleague
These struggles are more common than you might think - and they don’t mean your relationships are beyond repair. With the right support, they can become opportunities for growth, insight and healthier patterns of connection.
Through counselling, you can begin to experience:
-
Improved communication and understanding
-
Rebuilding trust and strengthening emotional connection
-
Gaining clarity about the direction of important relationships
-
Learning healthier ways to manage conflict and differences
-
Greater confidence and wellbeing in how you relate to others
Relationships don’t have to remain stuck in cycles of conflict or disconnection. With the right support, you can learn new ways of relating, strengthen your sense of self and create more balanced, fulfilling connections
The Benefits of Relationship Counselling
My Approach
I’m especially passionate about supporting people to strengthen their relationships and build healthier patterns of connection - whether in romantic partnerships, families, friendships or workplaces. My work is informed by a blend of evidence‑based approaches, which I adapt to your unique needs and circumstances:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - helping you clarify your values, respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions and take steps toward the kind of relationships you want.
-
Gottman Method (Level 1 Training) - a research‑based approach focused on emotional connection, communication, and conflict management.
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - an attachment‑based model that helps identify negative interaction cycles and create new patterns of emotional bonding.
-
Presence‑Oriented Relationship Therapy (Connection, Change & Trust) - a relational framework that supports building trust and navigating change with presence and compassion.
-
Advanced Study in Relationship Counselling and Conflict Resolution – providing a strong foundation for supporting individuals through relational challenges.
Together, these approaches allow me to tailor sessions to your unique relationship needs - whether you’re seeking to strengthen a partnership, improve family dynamics, navigate workplace challenges or heal from past relational wounds.
How Sessions Work
To give you the best chance of creating lasting change, I recommend starting with weekly sessions. This steady rhythm helps us build momentum, explore new strategies and create a safe space for you to reflect and grow.
Because many of these approaches are experiential, I may suggest gentle “home practice” between sessions - simple reflections, communication tools or values‑based exercises that help you apply what we’ve explored in real life. These practices aren’t about getting it perfect, but about building new habits of awareness and connection, step by step.
Coming Soon: In-Person Sessions
I currently offer online counselling Australia-wide, and I’m excited to share that in-person sessions will be available soon. This will give you the option to choose the format that feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
Moving Forward with Clarity and Connection
Relationship counselling is not just about solving problems - it’s about helping you understand yourself more deeply, strengthen your ability to connect and move forward with greater clarity and confidence in all areas of your life.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
