Couples Counselling in Sydney, NSW
Whether it's with yourself, your partner or your kids.
Hi, I’m Ange and I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, especially autistic children and adults, to embrace who they are, believe in themselves and find their voice in a world that doesn’t always 'get it'. I’m not here to 'fix' you because there’s nothing broken. Instead, I’ll walk alongside you as you build the tools you need to thrive without exhausting yourself trying to fit into a neuronormative box. I also work with parents of autistic young people. Let’s face it, parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to balance understanding your child’s needs with everything life throws your way.

I aim to continuously provide clients with respect, a collaborative approach to working on goals, with compassion and authenticity.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
