Many people come to my relationship counselling practice in Eltham because they feel stuck. You may be having the same arguments over and over, feeling unheard, walking on eggshells, or wondering if you've grown apart. I help couples and families across Eltham and Melbourne's north-east reconnect through honest conversations that create lasting change. Conflict isn't the problem—it's how we handle it. When we learn to listen deeply and speak with kindness, difficult conversations can become opportunities for greater trust, intimacy and connection
My approach combines Relational Life Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness to help you: Communicate Without Escalating Conflict Rebuild Trust after Hurt, Betrayal or Disconnection Feel heard, Understood, and Appreciated Again Create Lasting Change Build Intimacy, Emotionally and Sexually

Relational Life Therapy uses loving confrontation to wake clients up to their negative behaviours in a direct but compassionate way. I use meditation and mindfulness to amplify the transformation couples make by creating a deeper connection to oneself first, and then connecting to the other.
