Marriage Counselling

Marriage Counselling can be the foundation of a fulfilling marriage

Marriage therapy can be extremely rewarding for Melbourne couples. It often aids in a journey of growth between two people bound in love yet, challenged by circumstances often beyond their control.

Every single couple, married or not, will go through a number of challenges and ditches in their lives. There truly are as many reasons to split up as there are to stay together, and our marriage counsellor is here for you in the case of you deciding to grow stronger together than more distant apart. 

Many couples realise the foundation of a strong marriage starts long before saying “I do”  These loving and supportive teams have a desire to build a strong platform from which to expand their marriage. Before the big day, our marriage counsellor will guide the couple to a deeper understanding of each other and their relationship.

We're here to help

Partners don’t always treat each other right. The assistance of a qualified marriage counsellor in Melbourne might just be the neutral platform the two of you need for a new beginning on a stronger foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking about taking the next step?

Marriage counselling isn’t just for relationships in crisis – it’s for any couple who wants more. These are some of the questions we hear most often from couples considering counselling for the first time. If something’s still on your mind, our friendly team is always just a phone call or email away.

We often get asked...:

Does marriage counselling only work if both of us want to be there?

Ideally both partners attend together, however individual sessions can still be extremely valuable if your partner isn’t ready to come in. Sometimes one person taking the first step is enough to begin shifting the dynamic. We’ll work with whatever situation you’re in.

In practice, the approach is very similar – both focus on communication, conflict resolution and reconnection. Marriage counselling simply acknowledges the specific weight and commitment of the marital relationship, including legal, financial and family dimensions that often come into play.

No. We offer sessions via phone and video call as well as in-person appointments at our Chelsea and St Kilda locations. Evening and Saturday appointments are also available to work around your schedule.
