The Between - relationship counselling
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Verified
Verified
As relational therapists we commit to providing attuned presence and a balanced alliance with you and your
partner
, to work with both the strengths and the challenges we identify in your relational patterning.
Our approach to relationship counselling assumes that what occurs in your relationship is co-created. When we shift from “your story versus mine”, we move from a focus on the individual to “the between” of your relationship. As you may have experienced, relationship patterns repeat, the same ideas and themes keep knocking on the door. With the support of your therapist you are invited to explore “the between”, to engage in a process that helps you to understand how you got here and to begin to experience your relationship differently.

In working with
couples
and families, I support each individual and member to more deeply understand themselves and each other, and how their unique histories, experiences and values interact in relationship.
Psychotherapy is a profound tool and relationship which can provide psychological relief and growth for everybody. All clients are welcome, including those who might be experiencing acute suffering after a trauma or loss; as well as those who have been experiencing psychological challenges over many years, due to chronic relational issues, addictive or obsessive tendencies, eating disorders or the long term effects of adverse experiences.

Although his practice sees equal numbers of men and women, his specialities are men,
couples
and communication.
Michael came to study psychology as a mature age student, completing his studies part time at Swinburne and Victoria University during the 80’s and 90’s. He believes that coaching, counselling or psychotherapy needs to be tailored to each individual. This has led him to develop skills in a number of different approaches over his twenty years in practice. Growing up in a Victorian country town in the middle of last century he experienced both the State and Catholic school systems before serving as an officer in the Royal Australian Navy during the Vietnam era.

I consistently see
couples
and individuals thrive as a result of this work.
People come to see me for a lot of different reasons. For instance, you might be experiencing depression or anxiety, having relationship difficulties (whether you're single or partnered), going through a major life transition or loss, or wondering about the overall direction of your life. You may have a sense that there's something more to life -- that you could be living a richer life, and thriving more than you are right now. I'm here to support you and examine what's working and not, whether you're seeking a major transformation, or simply a deeper understanding of your life patterns.

Individuals and
couples
, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds & sexual/gender identities of all kinds are welcomed.
With a Master of Professional Psychology Practice, I confidently support clients in navigating a wide spectrum of mental health issues ranging from anxiety and mood disorders to complex trauma, relationship and attachment concerns. My interest in psychology was born out of a natural curiosity of human behaviour and has evolved into a deep passion for helping people cultivate a sense of aliveness & vitality. I am voraciously curious about the human condition, and this translates to the therapy room where I am always eager to seek understanding of the human being sitting across from me: their stories, their urges, and their "why?".

Robin Wilkinson- Right Relationship
Psychotherapist

I aim to help you re-connect to your
partner
deeply and provide tools to co-create the amazing relationship you dream of having.
We are not taught how to relate and often we just make it up as we go, doing the best we can with what we have or have learned. When relationships break down, getting support is better than struggling alone. I work with
couples
and individuals in relationship crisis, who are experiencing difficulties from ongoing conflict or anger issues, communication breakdown, loss of trust, infidelity, major life transitions, grief and anxiety. I work with
couples
considering ending their relationships or who have lost the spark of passion and intimacy. I specialise in repeating patterns of behaviour stemming from past traumas or experiences.

Privately I work with individuals of all ages, as well as
couples
and families experiencing a range other, more extensive issues.
My approach to treatment takes its direction from experience, both in the lived sense and specifically in terms of psychoanalysis (having undergone an analysis and formation as an analyst). My practice pays particularly close attention to the person him or herself, the dynamic cultivated in the session, and am far less interested in peripheral issues such as diagnosis.

I offer both individual and
couples
therapy and have trained with Relationships Australia.
You may feel overwhelmed by life struggles, painful losses or relationship issues. We can work together in this space to acknowledge difficult and complex emotions and experiences, such as anger, anxiety, guilt and shame. Often people may feel alone in the midst of losses and transitions - families, friends and communities aren't always able to provide solace and support. Sometimes a loss or change may feel unbearable. Being seen and heard by another person can create powerful potential for healing and change. We can also work on long-term issues such as family dynamics and relationship patterns that sometimes add to isolation

Family problems from trivial to severe will challenge every family at some point.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Carlton?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Carlton specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
