Is couples therapy on the Peninsula right for us?
Therapy Atelier works with couples from across the Mornington Peninsula — Mornington, Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Frankston, and the coastal villages further south. The practice is couples-only: ninety-minute sessions, unhurried, and held with complete discretion in a private suite on Main Street, Mornington.
Peninsula couples come at every stage:
- partners caught in the same argument for years
- marriages gone quiet
- relationships recovering from betrayal or secrecy
- new parents who can’t find each other in the noise
- long-settled couples facing retirement, illness, or a late question about what remains
If the relationship itself is the thing that needs attention, this is the work.
How I work with couples
I’m Tumee Hugginson — a psychotherapist and couples therapist trained in the Gottman Method (Level 3) and Jungian psychoanalytic work. Ninety-minute weekly sessions give the space to reach what shorter appointments rarely touch: the deeper patterns and unspoken loyalties shaping the life of a relationship.
The approach blends depth psychology, attachment science and the Gottman Method’s structured tools. My work is grounded in Gottman-informed and psychodynamic depth approaches.
What sessions look like
- A dedicated couples practice, in Mornington, with the training and time to do it properly.
- No divided caseload, no rushed hours.
- Couples work that doesn’t require a drive into Melbourne.
No pretence that change is guaranteed — just serious, structured attention to the two of you.
