Relationships are crucial to our quality of life. Research has demonstrated over and over again that one of, if not the greatest predictor of happiness is a long and satisfying romantic relationship. If this is something you are struggling with, then Relationship Counselling in Narre Warren can help.
But it’s not just couples who can benefit from Relationship Counselling in Narre Warren. Other relationships sometimes need help too. Perhaps you’re often in conflict with a family member, be that a parent, child, or sibling. Our Clinical Psychologist, Dr Nicholas Lawless, has been providing Relationship Counselling in Narre Warren for the last 7 years. Our Clinical Psychology Registrar, Dr Jake Payne, has also received additional training in both couple therapy and interpersonal group therapy.
In a perfect world, both you and the other person in the relationship would want to work on things, and that is where Couples Therapy in Narre Warren comes in. However, we know it’s not a perfect world, and sometimes you are the only one seemingly interested in making a change. That’s ok. Whilst Couples Therapy is typically the most effective way at overcoming relationship struggles, one person can still transform a relationship, and at the very least, can certainly learn how to cope better with a relationship that isn’t changing! This is where individual therapy plays a role. Either way, our psychologists have the added benefit of being trained in both individual therapy and couples therapy.

This starts with a joint session together with your partner, followed by an in-depth baseline survey and an individual assessment session to ensure you each have the space to talk freely. This is then followed by a feedback session regarding the state of your relationship, the root of your difficulties, and a plan about how this can be addressed in Couples Therapy moving forward.
