Science based relationship support
Relationships are a core part of being human. I have worked with couples and families for over two decades to improve communication, reduce or stop harmful interactions and habits, increase emotional connection, intimacy and sexual fulfillment.
The science and knowledge of relationships is building and consolidating. Its no longer as simple as Men are from Mars, and Women from Venus. Our biology, early relationships and experiences in our family of origin and stereotypical responses to emotional hurt -criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling, all impact on our ability to develop and maintain close love bonds.
I base my relationship counselling approach on these components, with significant input and use of resources from John and Julie Gottman. www.gottman.com
Relationship and couple counselling sessions are for 90-minutes duration, but the fee ($180 ) is the same as for a standard session. Couple counselling fee rebate is seldom available through a GP mental health plan, but this is at the discretion of your GP.
