Struggling to talk without arguing? Feeling misunderstood or ignored? Want to reconnect and communicate better? Relationship challenges are common, but the good news is – with the right help, it’s possible to heal, grow, and rediscover the deep connection you’ve been longing for. As a trained relationship therapist and marriage counsellor, I specialise in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, backed by years of scientific research. I work with couples to help them move from feeling stuck and frustrated to reconnecting and growing together.
I offer a safe and compassionate space for you and your partner to explore the dynamics of your relationship and work toward a stronger, more fulfilling bond. Whether you’re preparing for marriage or have been together for years, it’s never too late to seek help.
Let’s work together to improve your communication and bring back the spark, navigate conflicts with practical strategies that work, rebuild trust after betrayal or misunderstandings, reconnect emotionally and physically for a healthier, more intimate relationship.
Take the first step to help. Call or Irina McMahon now - 0432 807 945
