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
How can counselling help with co-parenting?
Counselling can help parents reduce conflict, improve communication, establish boundaries, and create predictable routines for children. It can also help parents support children’s emotional needs during times of change.
Can counselling help if we are considering separation?
Yes. Counselling can support you to clarify your concerns, understand what is driving conflict or distance, and explore your values and options. Sessions may focus on repairing the relationship or, where separation is being considered, supporting both partners to navigate the transition respectfully and thoughtfully.
What should we expect in our first session?
Your psychologist will discuss your goals, explore the history of the relationship, and identify patterns that may be contributing to stress or disconnection. The first session helps you develop a shared understanding of the concerns and begin planning achievable steps toward change.
Is your service inclusive of diverse relationships?
Yes. We provide culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming counselling and welcome all relationship structures. Our psychologists support people from diverse cultural backgrounds, identities, and family systems.
Are Medicare rebates available for relationship counselling?
Medicare rebates may apply for eligible individual therapy when the referral focuses on one partner’s mental health under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. Couples sessions are generally not rebate-eligible unless the primary treatment focus is one partner’s mental health condition and the referral reflects this.
Is relationship counselling available via telehealth?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth sessions for couples and individuals across NSW. Telehealth can be a convenient and effective option for people who have limited availability, live outside Sydney, or prefer online appointments.
How many sessions will we need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, the complexity of concerns, and how both partners engage in the process. Some people attend short-term counselling for specific issues, while others continue longer as they work through more complex patterns or transitions.
What issues can relationship counselling help with?
Relationship counselling can support concerns such as communication difficulties, conflict, emotional distance, trust issues, infidelity, life transitions, parenting stress, and uncertainty about the future of the relationship. Therapy provides a structured and supportive space to explore these challenges.
Can relationship counselling help if my partner does not want to attend?
Yes. Individual sessions can support you to understand communication patterns, reduce conflict, and make positive changes in the relationship. Personal insight and behaviour change often influence the relationship, even if only one person attends therapy.
Do you offer both couples counselling and individual sessions?
Yes. We provide relationship counselling for both couples and individuals. Some people prefer to attend together, while others find it helpful to begin individually and explore their concerns before involving their partner.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If your relationship feels strained, uncertain, or stuck, compassionate support is available. Speaking with an experienced psychologist can help you clarify concerns, understand patterns, and take meaningful steps towards change.
