Relationship & couples counselling
Geelong & Telehealth
I support those in relationships to remove the barriers (sometimes obvious, and sometimes invisible), that are holding relationships back from success.
This is a judgement-free space, where together we will explore the opportunities for improvement, and strengths. No person alone is responsible for why a relationship isn’t at it’s strongest, so I seek to listen, empathise and bring all parties into the conversation for making change whether the issues are around communication, conflict, trust, differing values, needs, betrayal or intimacy.
My relationship counselling is LGBTQIA+/Queer, neurodivergent friendly. Poly, open and CNM relationships are welcome.
NOTE: For relationship counselling, research shows consecutive weekly or fortnightly appointments significantly improves success. We recommend booking in a time slot, that you can regularly attend for consistency.
Want to get through the counselling process & see results quicker?
Some people like to book me out for a whole day or for multiple appointments in the same day. If you are interested, let me know the days you are available and I will see what I can arrange. Intensives/multiple sessions in a day also mean we don’t have to recap past conversations so enable more work done sooner.
What is the difference between sexology & relationship counselling?
Sexology specific counselling is for people or relationships where sex is the primary issue.
For those in relationships, if communication is great, your values align, there is trust, attunement/turning towards, no betrayal, your parenting-styles and/or life-goals align, then sexology-specific sessions will be the better fit for you.
If you’re not sure, then we will start with relationship counselling, and if everything seems great, except for sex and/or intimacy, then we will proceed to sexology-only sessions. If other things are discovered as areas to work on, we will start with relationship counselling, and then shift to sexology later on.
Initial relationship sessions for both sexology and counselling are 80 minutes.
For individuals if sex, desire or intimacy is an issue for you, and/or you have a partner but are not yet ready to involve them, then we can commence with sexology-specific sessions, and involve your partner later if they agree to join. Individual sessions are 50 minutes.
