Couples Counselling in Malaga, WA
What sets me apart is my deep understanding of the emotional toll that relationship struggles, divorce, parenting stress, grief and loss, abandonment, emotional abuse, and feeling unseen or unheard can have on someone.
You might be feeling lost in the noise of life and everything feeling like chaos. Maybe you’re carrying loneliness, self-doubt, the heavy question, “Why do I feel this way?” or the quiet belief, “I’m no good to anyone.” Why not give counselling a try? It can offer a fresh perspective and someone who’s not biased or judgmental.

I have extensive experience and qualifications in working with all kinds of client issues and concerns, working with both Individuals and couples.
Hi! Thank you for viewing my profile. Searching for a counsellor can be an overwhelming process; knowing who to choose, where to start and concern about trust in whom you may be expressing things never shared with others and worry about vulnerability. I've been in practice for over 9 years. My journey to counselling began due to my own lived life experiences and wanting to support others who may have also felt alone, unheard, unsupported and confused. I offer a safe, respectful and non-clinical space to share and be supported working from various modalities such as CBT, SFT, ACT, Person-Centred, Narrative and Gestalt therapies.

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.
