Marriage Counselling Melbourne

Marriage Counselling:

Restoring the Heart of Your Partnership

The commitment we make to our partners defines the landscape of our lives.

Marriage is a journey of profound connection, but it is also one that faces inevitable challenges. Whether you are struggling with a sudden breach of trust or a gradual “drifting apart,” seeking the guidance of a professional Marriage Counsellor in Melbourne is an investment in your shared future.

Moving Beyond the

"Roommate Phase"

It is common for couples to feel stuck in a cycle of recurring arguments or, perhaps more painfully, a stony silence. Marriage counselling in Melbourne provides the tools to move beyond entrenched patterns of conflict and rediscover the intimacy, friendship, and passion that first brought you together.

  • Intimacy & Connection: Reclaiming physical and emotional closeness after years of focus on career or children.

The eft² Advantage:

A Modern Path to Healing

As a Marriage Counsellor in Melbourne, I utilise my Tapping into Relationships – eft² protocol. This method is specifically designed for couples who want faster, more effective results than traditional marriage talk therapy can offer.

By combining the science of attachment with somatic regulation, we help you:

  • Identify the Cycle: Understand the subconscious dance that leads to disconnection.
  • Regulate Triggers: Use eft² to stay calm during difficult conversations, preventing blowups or shutdowns.
  • Heal Attachment Wounds: Address the “raw spots” from the past that are being triggered in your marriage today.
