A place to begin
You don’t have to agree on everything to start.
You may see the problem differently, or be unsure what you want to change. There is room to begin with that.
- “We keep having the same argument.”
- Look at what happens between you, especially when conversations get stuck.
- “We feel more like housemates.”
- Talk about feeling apart, changes in intimacy and the connection you miss.
- “Something has changed.”
- Talk through broken trust, parenthood or a difficult new chapter.

Your first session
Start with the conversation
you’re having now.
You don’t need a perfectly rehearsed explanation. The first meeting is a chance to understand what brought you here and where you’d like to go.
Hear each other’s perspective
Talk about your relationship, what feels difficult and what each of you hopes might be different.
Look at what keeps happening
Begin to notice the patterns underneath the arguments, withdrawal or misunderstandings.
Find a useful starting point
Discuss your goals and what working together could look like, including the pace and frequency of sessions.

What if my partner is unsure?
It’s understandable to feel differently about starting. You can share this page and talk about what each of you would want from a session. Both people need to be willing to attend; therapy isn’t about persuading one person to agree with the other.
If you’d like support on your own, ask about individual therapy and which option would suit your circumstances.
How many sessions will we need?
That depends on your relationship, goals and circumstances. Your psychologist will discuss the frequency of sessions with you and review how the work is going.
Do we have to be married, or in crisis?
No. Couples therapy can be a place to address recurring difficulties, navigate a change or work on connection. You don’t need to wait until things feel unmanageable.
Can we join from different places?
For this service, both partners attend together, in the same room on one device. If that won’t work for you, contact the practice before booking to discuss your options.
Is couples therapy right for our situation?
Joint sessions may not be the right starting point if either person feels afraid, controlled or unable to speak freely. If it’s safe to contact us, ask the practice privately about suitable support before booking together.
Do we need a referral?
You can book a private couples session without a GP referral. Medicare rebates don’t apply to couples therapy. If you have private health cover, check eligibility with your insurer before booking.
