What’s Included
Our psychologists provide relationship counselling for couples and individuals seeking better communication, emotional closeness, and mutual understanding. We use evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Sessions provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore patterns, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection.
What to Expect from Therapy
Therapy typically involves exploring communication styles, emotional needs, triggers, and patterns that contribute to tension or distance. Couples learn practical tools to reduce conflict, express needs clearly, and reconnect with empathy. Individuals can explore relational history, attachment patterns, and ways to improve future relationship wellbeing. Sessions may include skill-building, guided conversations, and processing past ruptures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide crisis support?
We provide therapeutic support but not emergency crisis services. If your family is currently in crisis, please visit our Crisis Support page for immediate assistance or contact emergency services if there is immediate risk.
How do I know if my family needs therapy?
Families often seek therapy when communication becomes difficult, conflict escalates, changes feel overwhelming, or when a child’s wellbeing is impacted. If challenges are affecting daily life or relationships, professional support can provide clarity and direction.
Can separated or blended families attend together?
Yes. Therapy can support co-parenting, transitions, strengthening communication between households, and helping children adjust to change. Sessions are structured to ensure emotional safety for everyone involved.
What issues can family therapy help with?
Family therapy supports a wide range of concerns, including communication breakdowns, parent–child conflict, separation or blended family transitions, emotional or behavioural concerns in children, grief, trauma, and stress affecting family functioning.
Do we need a GP referral for family therapy?
No referral is required. However, some family-focused sessions may be eligible for Medicare rebates when the work aligns with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. We can advise you on the best pathway before your first appointment.
Is family therapy confidential?
Yes. Sessions are confidential within the limits of Australian law and professional standards. Your psychologist will explain how confidentiality works in family therapy, including how information is managed when multiple family members attend sessions.
Can children or teenagers attend family therapy?
Yes. Children and adolescents often play an important role in the family system. Sessions can include children directly, or involve parent-only consultations depending on the child’s age, developmental stage, and presenting concerns.
Do you offer telehealth family therapy?
Yes. We provide secure telehealth sessions for families across NSW. Telehealth can be useful for families with busy schedules, separated households, or when multiple members are joining from different locations.
How many sessions do families usually need?
Most families attend between 6–8 sessions, depending on the concerns, goals, and willingness of members to participate. Some families benefit from short-term support, while others choose longer-term work to address more complex patterns.
What happens during a family therapy session?
Family therapy sessions involve guided conversations that help family members understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, and work through patterns contributing to conflict or distress. The psychologist will structure the session around the family’s goals and may meet with the whole family together or with individuals when clinically appropriate.
