Behind this there is a breadth of knowledge and experience gained in collaboratively working with so many individuals and couples.
Being in an intimate relationship with another person is both the hardest and most rewarding experience that we can have. However, given that most of us never went to relationship school, we learnt how to be in relationship by what we experienced, generally as children, often times did not set us up to succeed in adult relationships.
We want to be attached and secure in our partnerships feeling loved, close and belonging. As human beings we are hard wired to be in good relationship with others and often we dont have the necessary skills to pull this off. This state is very fixable when people are open and willing.

FAQ - Marriage Counselling
What issues does marriage counselling help with?
Marriage counselling can address common relationship concerns, including ongoing conflict, communication challenges, emotional distance, or difficulty making decisions together. It may also be helpful for couples who are not currently experiencing major problems but want to prepare for future life changes. For more specific concerns affecting one individual in the relationship, such as trauma, depression, or significant substance use concerns, individual therapy may be more appropriate than marriage counselling.
When is the right time to start marriage counselling?
There is no single “right” time to start marriage counselling, but certain signs may suggest that counselling could be helpful. For example, a couple may benefit from counselling if many conversations end in conflict, if negative interactions are becoming more frequent, or if relationship stress is affecting other areas of life, such as sleep, work, parenting, or friendships. Some couples also seek counselling proactively. Premarital counselling, for instance, allows couples to discuss communication styles, finances, family dynamics, and future goals before getting married. Other couples may start counselling before a major life change, such as becoming parents, relocating, or navigating a stressful career transition.
Is marriage counselling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Marriage counselling may still help even if one partner is more hesitant to attend, as long as both people are ultimately willing to participate in sessions. Once counselling is underway, the more hesitant partner may become more open to sessions that can strengthen the relationship and build coping skills and communication strategies. If one partner refuses to attend, individual therapy may still help the other partner understand their needs, set boundaries, and decide how to approach the relationship.
Is online marriage counselling as effective as in-person?
There are differing opinions on the best format for marriage counselling. While some studies show that online marriage counselling can be as effective as in-person counselling, some argue that in-person counselling is more effective because it allows the therapist to better pick up on context and body language cues. In addition, in-person counselling may be a better fit for couples who are working through high-conflict issues. Ultimately, the “best” format depends on the couple’s specific needs and concerns.
What is faith-based marriage counselling and how is it different?
Faith-based marriage counselling incorporates a couple’s religious or spiritual beliefs into counselling. It may be a good fit for couples who want to discuss their relationship, values, and marriage within the context of their faith. For example, Christian marriage counselling may appeal to couples who want a counsellor familiar with Christian beliefs about marriage. Other forms of faith-based counselling may incorporate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious perspectives into sessions.
How much does marriage counselling cost and is it covered by insurance?
Marriage counselling in Australia is usually paid for privately. Medicare rebates generally do not apply to couples or marriage counselling, although some private health insurance plans may cover part of the cost. If you are unsure whether your plan offers a marriage counselling benefit, you can inquire with your insurance provider about any available rebates or coverage options. When paid for privately, sessions often cost around AUD $150 to $250 or more. Fees depend on location, counsellor experience, session length, and practice setting. Lower-cost options may be available through sliding scale fees, which adjust the cost of counselling based on income, as well as through community services or non-profit organisations that offer reduced-cost services.
