Is couples therapy in Melbourne right for us?

Therapy Atelier is a couples-only psychotherapy practice working with Melbourne couples in two ways: secure online sessions that fit around city schedules, and in-person work — including multi-day intensives — at the practice in Mornington, an hour down the Peninsula. Ninety-minute sessions, complete discretion, couples and nothing else.

Melbourne couples who want relationship therapy with depth rather than a quick fix:

  • professionals whose conflict has calcified into distance
  • couples rebuilding after an affair
  • partners weighing whether to stay or separate
  • busy households where the relationship keeps landing last

Online sessions mean the work can actually happen — no commute, no waiting list logic, the same structure as in-person work.

How I work with couples

I’m Tumee Hugginson — a psychotherapist and couples therapist with Gottman Method training at Level 3 and a Jungian psychoanalytic background. Sessions run ninety minutes, usually weekly, drawing on depth psychology, attachment science and the Gottman Method.

For couples who prefer to concentrate the work, two- and three-day intensives in Mornington are often the better shape — many Melbourne couples pair an intensive with online follow-up. My work is grounded in Gottman-informed and psychodynamic depth approaches.

What sessions look like

  • A couples-only practice, not a general clinic.
  • Ninety-minute sessions, not rushed hours.
  • Online work held to the same standard of care and confidentiality as the consulting room.

And honesty about the work itself: outcomes in therapy are never guaranteed — what you get is serious, structured attention to your relationship.
