Premium couples therapy and individual psychology for relationships, burnout, and high-stakes life transitions
How can we help you?
We provide advice for all types of relationships
We have helped couples in all stages of their relationships: dating, engaged, living together, married for years, on the verge of divorce or already divorced (but co-parenting). Sometimes we help people to restart their relationship based on new rules. Or at least to divorce amicably and co-parent well together.
We can help with all sorts of relationships. For example, between a brother and a sister, between parents and children (even if they are grown up) or between close friends, co-workers and business partners.
Start out your relationship on a good footing by knowing how to communicate and how to support each other.
Your relationship may be struggling because of various crises such as infidelity, lovelessness or just sheer boredom.
Even if you are divorced, you still need to learn how to communicate clearly with each other for the sake of the children for which you are both responsible. And it will also help you to move on with your new life.
Often we say the most hurtful things to the ones to which we are closest. So you may need help repairing the damage this has done so you can start again with a better approach.
Sometimes we say things that our friends find hurtful. It can help to have someone mediate to repair the relationship so you can share the love and support you once did.
Many issues in business come down to personal relationships. We can help you restart your business relationship with new rules and new skills.

Choose the right starting point
Weekly couples therapy
Best when the relationship is strained, repetitive, or emotionally distant—but both of you are able to attend regularly. Most couples start here.
Focused couples intensive
Best when you feel urgency, distance, travel constraints, or a crisis pattern that will not shift in one hour a week sessions.
Individual therapy
Best when you want support for burnout, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, depression, life transitions, grief, identity questions, porn addiction, substance abuse or relational pain. Medicare rebates are available with a Mental Health Care Plan.
Business partners
Best when conflict, mistrust, or communication breakdown between founders or partners is affecting performance, leadership, and stability.
How it works
- Choose your pathway:
weekly couples therapy, intensive couples work, individual therapy, or business partners work. - Book the most appropriate first session.
- We meet, clarify the pattern, and agree on the next step so you know exactly how the work will proceed.
Medicare note: Medicare rebates may apply to eligible individual psychology sessions under a Mental Health Care Plan. Couples and family sessions are privately billed.
Too often we let issues build until our relationship faces a crisis point

About Restarting Relationships
We provide intensive couples retreats for one couple at a time
Often we let issues build up. Bitterness brews. One person starts talking divorce. At this crisis point, an hour a week of couples counselling just isn’t going to be enough. That’s why we have found spending a number of hours to work through all the issues is the best approach.
Even if you realise that divorce is the best solution, you will at least be able to communicate and come to agreements more easily – saving you both thousands on lawyer fees. And making co-parenting easier.
