COUPLES THERAPY INTENSIVES FOR MELBOURNE COUPLES
A different way to make time for your relationship
Step away from demanding schedules and everyday interruptions and dedicate one focused day to your relationship.
Private, structured couples therapy with a Certified Gottman Therapist, offered in the peaceful surrounds of Porepunkah, near Bright in Victoria's High Country.
One couple. One therapist. One dedicated day.
Your relationship is the sole focus of the intensive. This is not a group program or couples retreat, but private, structured clinical therapy tailored specifically to you and your relationship.
For couples travelling from Melbourne, working away from your usual environment can also offer an additional level of privacy and discretion, removed from the professional, social and family networks of everyday life.
Set in a private counselling space in Porepunkah, near Bright, the intensive gives you uninterrupted time to slow things down, understand what is happening in your relationship, and work meaningfully on the issues that matter most.

When you are setting aside a full day to work on your relationship, the expertise of the therapist matters.
I am a Certified Gottman Therapist and PACFA Clinical Counsellor with advanced training in couples therapy, affair recovery and trauma-informed practice.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy provides a structured, evidence-informed framework for understanding relationship patterns and helping couples work more effectively with conflict, communication, friendship, intimacy and connection.

Step away from everyday life
Sometimes creating space for your relationship also means stepping outside the environment in which everyday life happens.
Located in Porepunkah, just minutes from Bright in Victoria's High Country, your intensive offers the opportunity to leave Melbourne behind for a day, away from work, household responsibilities and the usual demands competing for your attention.
Many couples may choose to arrive the evening before their intensive, stay locally in Bright or Porepunkah, and begin the following morning without the stress of travelling from Melbourne that day.
After your intensive, you can choose to stay another evening or spend some time in the region before returning home — allowing some space around the work you have done together.
STAY
Arrive the evening before your intensive and settle into one of Bright or Porepunkah's many beautiful accommodation options, ready to begin the following morning without the pressure of same-day travel from Melbourne.
Accommodation is arranged independently, allowing you to choose a stay that suits you.
DINE
Bright is home to an exceptional food and wine scene, with everything from relaxed local favourites to beautiful destination dining.
Choose to stay after your intensive, enjoy dinner together and allow some space around the work you have done before returning to everyday life.
