“Love is a vessel that contains both security and adventure, and commitment offers one of the great luxuries of life: time. Marriage is not the end of romance, it is the beginning.”
What will this look like? - Great question…
With 16 years’ experience, as a Social Worker and Family Therapist, I draw on skills from Social Work, Family Therapy, Schema Therapy and EMDR.
I’m deeply passionate about supporting couples to create meaningful change in their relationships and family systems. It’s a privilege to witness the transformations that unfold.
What is a couples immersive program:
I offer an immersive experience over two or three weeks, allowing you to focus deeply on your relationship and achieve lasting changes.
Traditional therapy can lose momentum due to sickness, holidays, work stress, and other interruptions, which can affect motivation.
My goal is for you to achieve lasting improvements in both you and your relationship.
Before we meet in person…
You will both complete a workbook and questionnaires before our first session. This helps me understand your relational challenges and family background, including childhood and adult traumas.
We’ll explore relational patterns, core beliefs, and protective behaviours learnt within your family system.
My goal is for you to gain a deep understanding of each other, identify what keeps you stuck, and learn how to move forward.
The immersive couples therapy will incorporate various effective methods for meaningful change, including:
Systemic ideas and relational intelligence.
Neurological insights into how past experiences, including trauma and attachment, affect your nervous system.
Schema Therapy to understand how deeply held beliefs and protective behaviours from childhood impact conflicts and repair in your relationship.
EMDR therapy to address current triggers linked to past events, aiming for lasting improvements in your relationship.
For complex trauma, additional EMDR therapy may be needed, either with me (if available) or another EMDR therapist.
When would a couples immersive not be right for us?
A couples immersive may not be suitable if:
There is ongoing emotional or physical abuse, as safety and emotional vulnerability are essential.
Either partner isn’t fully committed or lacks the necessary time, energy, or financial resources for this immersive experience.

FAQs
-
No. I only offer immersive couples’ programs and a follow up session 4-6 weeks after.
It’s unusual for a couple to require ongoing weekly or fortnightly sessions after an immersive program but this can be discussed (subject to availability).
If you're curious about whether the immersive is right for you both, feel free to book a free Discovery Zoom – this is to be attended by both partners.
-
Yes. You can both join me for a free 30-minute Discovery Zoom.
Here’s how it works:Book via my website through a link on the Couples Immersive page

Payment Plans
Payment plans are available upon request. If you'd like to explore a payment option that suits your needs, please feel free to bring it up during our free Discovery Zoom — I’m happy to discuss what might work best for you. -
Yes and No. Unfortunately, Medicare rebates do not apply to couples’ sessions.
However, if you have a current Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP), rebates are available for the individual assessment sessions ($87.25 per person).
If you provide a copy of your MHCP I will process those rebates after the attended sessions.
