About

Are you trapped in constant conflict, walking on eggshells, or feeling more like detached roommates than partners?

Taking the first step toward relationship therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to carry it alone. At Relationships Squared, I offer a structured, safe, and non-judgmental space to help couples break negative communication loops, heal disconnection, and revive intimacy. My approach is warm, direct, and transparent, ensuring both partners feel equally heard and supported.

With a PhD in Psychology focusing on conflict and attachment, my work is grounded in having completed Level 3 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

I provide evidence-based support across key relationship areas and milestones:
Intimacy & Connection: Restoring emotional warmth and closeness.
Infidelity & Betrayal: Navigating trauma and rebuilding trust.
Life-Stage Transitions & Parenting: Reconnecting amidst family pressures.
Empty Nest & Retirement: Resolving resentment and realigning long-term goals.
Pre-Marital Counselling: Equipping partners with practical conflict-resolution tools.

All orientations and backgrounds are warmly welcomed.

Logistics & Bookings:
In-Clinic Weekends: Saturdays & Sundays (9:30am - 4pm) at 622 Lygon Street, Carlton North (or online by arrangement)
Online Weekdays: Mondays (3pm - 8pm) via Zoom.

Languages: English and Afrikaans.

Clinical Supervision: I also offer clinical supervision (individual and group) and case consultation for Level 1 and 2 counsellors, focusing on couples dynamics and practice setup.

7 Principles Workshop: I am a Gottman Leader for the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Program - register your interest for upcoming online couple's workshop, Tuesdays 6:30-8pm (AEDT/AEST).
