Relationship Counselling
Rebuild your relationship and reconnect with our support.
Being in a relationship can be a wonderful thing that enriches life with love and support. However, relationships are not always smooth sailing and it is natural for couples to experience both ups and downs.
At times, navigating challenges as a couple can feel impossible and conflicts, when unresolved, can lead to the dissolution of a once happy relationship. When saving the relationship is important, couples counselling is recommended.
Supporting couples to learn how to manage conflict, improve their bond and create healthier communication habits, our psychologists in Chelsea, St.Kilda or via telehealth can provide the tools to achieve lasting happiness together.
We're here to help
We can provide you with support and strategies for dealing with common relationship concerns such as:
Investing in your relationship through therapy can be beneficial for couples at any stage of their relationship.
Whether dating, engaged, married, or in a long-term partnership. By improving communication, understanding and an awareness of your partner’s needs, you are more likely to remain together and feel satisfied in your relationship.
Even where no obvious conflict is apparent and you have simply begun to drift apart, it is possible to rediscover one another and enjoy a renewed, healthy and happy relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking about taking the next step?
We know that reaching out can feel like a big move. 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...:
How long are your relationship counselling sessions?
Typically, following an initial session of 80 minutes, each session is 50 minutes in length, longer session times may be advised when a couple or family session is booked. Whether you see us in person or online does not affect your session time.
Are all sessions confidential?
Psychologists in Australia follow a code of conduct and the Privacy Act. This means they are bound to protect your privacy and will not disclose to others what is discussed during your sessions.
However, there are some limits to confidentiality and situations in which your psychologist may need to breach this. This can occur if there are concerns about your immediate safety or the safety of others or where there is or has been harm to a child or vulnerable person. We are also required to disclose information when subpoenaed by a court.
