Couples, Relationship and Family Counselling in Fremantle, Perth & Australia wide Online
Healing for disconnection, conflict, emotional distance, and life transitions
A Safe Space to Reconnect
Tension. Silence. The same arguments circling back again and again. Or maybe it’s the quiet ache of growing apart — the distance that’s built up over time.
You may feel hurt, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward together. You may love each other deeply and still feel stuck in painful patterns.
You’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

How I Work – A Trauma-Informed Approach to Connection
Relationships are never just about what’s happening right now — they’re shaped by what came before. The way we connect, protect ourselves, or pull away often reflects our earliest relational experiences: how we learned (or didn’t learn) to feel safe, loved, or understood.
That’s why this work gently explores not just the dynamic between you, but what lives underneath — your attachment patterns, nervous system responses, and family-of-origin stories that may still echo in your present-day relationships.
Together, we create a space where these deeper patterns can be seen, softened, and shifted — with compassion, not blame.
Healing Attachment & Family-of-Origin Wounds
Many of the struggles we face in our relationships today stem from patterns we didn’t consciously choose — patterns shaped by our earliest emotional environments.
You may find yourself shutting down, withdrawing, over-explaining, or becoming reactive… even when you don’t want to. These responses often reflect old attachment wounds or family-of-origin dynamics that are still playing out in the present.
In our work together, we gently explore how these deeper patterns are impacting your connection — not to blame or pathologise, but to bring compassionate understanding. When you can see yourself and your partner or family member with more clarity, empathy naturally follows.
From there, healing becomes possible — not just for the relationship, but for the parts of you that have never felt fully safe in connection.

Evidence-Based, Compassion-Led
Research shows that trauma-informed and somatic therapies enhance communication and emotional attunement in couples and families. These approaches support nervous system regulation, reduce reactivity, and foster deeper connection (Van der Kolk, 2014).
When the emotional body feels safe, the heart opens — and healing becomes possible.
