Sydney Relationship Counselling for Couples & Individuals

Helping you Heal your Relationship Hurt

Do you keep saying to yourself?

“I don't feel valued anymore ”

"I'm so alone”

“Why can't we stop fighting?”


Everyone experiences relationship difficulties at some point in their life so you are not alone. Whether you are married, in a relationship or single you are probably exhausted by the same painful arguments repeating themselves again and again with nothing being resolved.

You may be experiencing conflict in your relationship where anger, blame or criticism leave you feeling hurt or rejected and taken for granted by your partner. 

Or maybe you are experiencing silence and a painful lack of physical or emotional closeness from your partner.  You might be feeling upset and alone; too scared to say anything to your partner in case you get hurt.

Couple counselling with me can help to heal the hurt of painful relationships so you can feel secure, loved and supported once again.

If this sounds like what you are going through read on to find out how I can help you............

Couples Counselling or Marriage Guidance can help you and your partner communicate with each other in a different way. Instead of cycles of criticism, blame, arguing or silence, imagine being listened to and feeling that your partner really hears your worries and concerns.

I provide a safe, supportive and well structured Relationship Counselling service so that you have the opportunity to talk to one another in a new way and listen to each others' issues during the counselling sessions.

Being heard and supported by your partner is a powerful way of healing and repairing your relationship so you can be loving to each other again.

Wouldn't it feel great to be able to tell your partner what you really feel without worrying about their reaction? Giving feedback to your partner after listening to their point of view can help to reduce those reactive responses that all couples fall into at some point in their relationship.

I work with a range of couples of differing ages, backgrounds, nationalities and sexual orientation who are either married, living together, living apart or engaged.

Relationship Counselling can help you explore what you are looking for in a relationship if you are single, dating, separated or divorced. Maybe you have experienced a series of relationships where you end up feeling taken for granted or you find it difficult to be close to another person.

Sharing your relationship needs with a trained counsellor can help you approach potential partners differently and find new ways of relating to yourself and others.

You want to stop experiencing the following:

• the constant conflict, blaming & criticising where rows never get resolved
• the feeling of loneliness when you or your partner withdraws into silence
• dissatisfaction at a lack lustre sex life where your needs are not met
• never feeling supported or validated in the relationship
• having an affair, becoming absorbed in a job or hobby as compensation
• feeling jealous or not trusting your partner
• feeling dependent upon the other person
• feeling angry & frustrated about the relationship

If you are experiencing any of the above problems then read on to find out how couple or individual counselling can help support the changes you want to make

Why work with me?

Your experiences, whether you are in a relationship or not, are precious and unique to you.  Your values, beliefs, history and needs will be explored in a sensitive and respectful way to help you reach your goals and find a new way forward.  You have already made a start just by reading this web page showing that despite the pain and hurt you have the strength to heal yourself and/or your relationship.  My role is to help you access your innate ability to break away from limiting patterns of behaviour and heal the pain from present and past hurts.

My passion is around working with couples and individuals and their relationships; I am privileged to work with people who care deeply about themselves and their relationship.  Revealing your pain and hurt to a counsellor is no easy task; your safety and privacy is of paramount importance to me

You can feel secure in the knowledge that I have the qualifications, experience and expertise to be able to help you heal the pain and hurt you are going through.  I have provided counselling to couples and individuals in the Neutral Bay area for the last few years working at the Neutral Bay Counselling Centre.  I am fortunate to be part of a supportive group of Sydney psychotherapists and counsellors who share my passion for relationship therapy. 

Your relationship is an opportunity to bond with another human being and when that emotional bond is threatened by conflict or disconnection I can help to repair and re-establish the connection between you and your partner.  The counselling I provide is practical; you can find new ways of speaking, listening and relating to your partner in a healthy and positive manner. At the same time I foster an emotional connection and closeness between you that is healthy and life-affirming.  The relationship you have with yourself as well as in partnership with another is of primary importance in my approach to couple and individual therapy. 

My ultimate aim is for you to be able to create or re-establish a loving, secure and deeply satisfying relationship based on honesty, openness & respect.
