Couples Therapy · Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne & Online
When something between you has fractured, or quietly drifted, this is where the work begins.
Therapy Atelier is a private, couples-only practice for partners who want more than surface repair. We work slowly and precisely with what lies beneath recurring conflict, emotional distance and betrayal — drawing on depth psychology, attachment science and the Gottman Method — so that the change you make together actually endures.
Couples come to Therapy Atelier for many reasons. Often, it is one or more of these.
- Recurring conflict
- Emotional distance
- Betrayal and repair
- Intimacy and desire
- Family or life transitions
- Resentment and unresolved hurt
- Communication that no longer reaches
Often one of you arrives ready before the other. That is not a problem to be solved; it is simply where the work begins.
Ninety-minute sessions, AUD $350. Couples only, by private consultation. Share a few details and I’ll respond with available times.

Ways to work together
Weekly Couples Therapy
For couples seeking steady, in-depth work through regular sessions.
We begin by clarifying what has become painful, what still feels possible, and where change is most needed. Together, we identify the patterns, pressures and protective strategies shaping your relationship, and work at a pace that is thoughtful, sustainable and genuinely useful.
Couples Intensives
For couples seeking focused, substantial progress through one or several extended sessions.
When a relationship feels urgent, stalled, or too layered for standard weekly work, an intensive creates the space to go further. With more time and continuity, important patterns can be seen more clearly, named more honestly, and worked with more effectively.
Retreat Intensives
For couples seeking immersive, high-touch work in a more restorative setting.
Retreat-based work offers a spacious and carefully held environment in which to step back from daily pressures and attend to the relationship with greater depth. This format is especially suited to couples seeking privacy, concentrated reflection, and a more transformative experience of repair.
The Investment
Fees reflect senior clinical expertise, unhurried sessions, and complete discretion, and remain the same whether we meet in Mornington, across Melbourne, or online.
Weekly Couples Therapy — 90 minutes, AUD $350

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a session cost?

A weekly couples session is AUD $350 for 90 minutes. Couples intensives are priced separately, outlined in full before you commit. Fees are the same whether we meet on the Mornington Peninsula, in Melbourne, or online.
How long is a session, and how often do we meet?
+
Sessions run for 90 minutes. Most couples begin weekly; the pace can be adjusted as the work progresses, in conversation with you.
Do you offer both online and in-person sessions?

Yes. In-person sessions are held on the Mornington Peninsula. Online sessions are available to couples across Melbourne, wider Victoria, or interstate, held with the same care and confidentiality as in-person work.

Begin the work that truly lasts
Some couples arrive in crisis. Others come with the quieter feeling that something essential has begun to fade. Both are welcome here.
