MARRIAGE & COUPLES COUNSELLING SERVICES AND FEES
My practice is founded on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore challenges, develop new skills, and work toward meaningful change. Understanding the financial aspects of therapy is an important part of establishing our professional relationship.
Below you'll find detailed information about my service offerings, fee structure, and practice policies. I believe in transparency regarding all aspects of the therapeutic process, including financial commitments. If you have any questions after reviewing this information, please don't hesitate to reach out - info@brisbanecouplescounselling.com
I look forward to the possibility of working with you on your journey toward greater well-being and relationship satisfaction.
In every couples session, I begin with a thorough assessment to help us get a clear picture of your relationship. We’ll first meet together to explore what’s brought you here, your relationship history, and how you tend to communicate as a couple. As part of the initial process, I also meet with each of you individually - just once - to learn a bit more about your personal background and early life experiences, outside of the relationship.
At Brisbane Couples Counselling, you can choose from three levels of support.
COUPLES MARRIAGE COUNSELLING - RELATIONSHIP RENEWAL PROGRAM
​This program is an immersive experience and is specifically designed for couples who want to achieve lasting change in their relationship, more quickly. In my professional experience, my most successful couples are the ones that commit to receiving support and have momentum and consistency in their sessions
For couples committed to transformational work through structured, progressive sessions because they want to feel happy, connected and confident to communicate well.
​Includes thorough assessment, customised interventions, and systematic skill-building
Designed to create lasting change in communication patterns and relationship dynamics
$350 per 2-hour session (No pre-payment required, you pay for sessions on a weekly basis)
Prior to our first session, I will need you to fill out an intake and consent form, as well as a Gottman Questionnaire ($39 USD). The questionnaire gives us a detailed feedback report from The Gottman Institute and a personalised treatment plan.
Comprehensive 6-session therapeutic program (12 hours total)
* Please note - the amount of sessions required will vary per couple. What I’ve found in my years of experience is starting off with weekly sessions for 6 weeks is the fastest way to healing. After that, we decide together how many sessions are required.

WHICH PATH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you're feeling stuck in painful patterns but your partner isn't ready for counselling, individual sessions can help you make meaningful changes independently.
If you're both experiencing relationship distress and are committed to growth together, couples counselling offers the most direct path to transformation.
