Couples Counselling

In Wollongong and Online

I provide Gottman-informed couples therapy in Wollongong, supporting partners to improve communication, rebuild trust and strengthen connection.

If communication with your partner keeps breaking down, if resentment is building quietly, or if you’ve lost the thread of connection—couples therapy can help.

I work with couples who are navigating:

  • The shift from partners to parents

  • Ongoing conflict, shutdown or defensiveness

  • Communication breakdowns & unmet needs

  • Resentment, emotional labour & the mental load

  • Rebuilding trust and emotional intimacy

Using an integrative approach (drawing from The Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy), I offer tools that help you understand each other’s emotional worlds, manage conflict more gently, and reestablish a sense of teamwork and care.

It’s not about blame, it’s about understanding.
You don’t need to be on the verge of breaking down to benefit from therapy.
You just need to be willing to try something different.

I work with couples across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Thirroul, and the wider Illawarra region, with sessions available in person and online.
