All relationships go through rough patches...
when is it time to seek outside help?
SKILLED RELATIONSHIP
HELP FOR COUPLES
We are born to bond. This is the way our brains are wired. We do not grow out of our need for this bonding, it lasts from the cradle to the grave. Secure bonds happen in our relationships when there is emotional openness and responsiveness. They make us more resilient, less depressed and anxious, and even more physically healthy!
Relationships can be challenging at times, but also extremely rewarding. Just like anything rewarding, there's a degree of work involved, and once this work is put in, a relationship can flourish and thrive.
Couples counselling can provide the knowledge and skills to understand how interactions with our partner are either helping or harming a relationship. Understanding and acceptance from, and dedication to our partner, can turn the tide in a relationship.​

THIS IS HOW
At Winnicott Psychology Clinic, couples sessions are $285 per appointment.
​
-
The first session is 90 minutes, giving both partners time to share and helping your psychologist understand your relationship, history, and goals. This longer start sets a strong foundation for therapy.
​
-
Ongoing sessions are 45–50 minutes. Sometimes the second and third appointments may be individual ($270 each, Medicare rebate available with a referral) if your psychologist needs more information. Regular couples sessions then focus on exploring challenges, improving communication, and strengthening your connection.
This approach provides a comprehensive start and consistent support, helping couples feel heard from the beginning while making steady progress over time.
