My partner and I were about to give up on our relationship, we thought nothing could help us. Then we made a booking with Lulu. We went from almost ending our relationship to feeling more connected than ever. Lulu is so very kind, patient, understanding and nonjudgmental.I’ve also started individual counseling and the few sessions I’ve had with her have been life changing. I highly recommend Lulu for both couples and individual counseling. Making an appointment with her has been one of the best decision I’ve made. I will be forever grateful for her support.

Alexandra has been a brilliant psychologist for us to see and provides exceptional support, guidance and insight into all aspects of effective couples communication. Alex is a true professional who possesses the rare combination of expertise, compassion, and adaptability. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

We came to Mark for counselling as a couple who are both committed to healing our relationship. Right from our first meeting we had a great rapport with Mark and have been able to talk freely and openly about very personal topics.Mark is non-judgemental, gentle and supportive and provided a space where we could have some challenging conversations in a respectful way.With Mark’s experience and skills he is effectively guiding us towards our goal.We look forward to our sessions and for other couples that are prepared to honestly explore their relationship, we can highly recommend Mark 👫😊😊

Lulu was wonderfully supportive and understanding. She has a great energy, is easy to talk to and was super helpful. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend working with Alexandra. I felt at ease from our initial appointment. Meeting with her doesn't feel clinical and I leave feeling heard and able to digest and reflect on our sessions afterward. Previous experience with therapy left me exhausted and emotionally drained. I feel encouraged after meeting with Alex; finding the right personality match is a key part of the process.

My partner and I have been seeing Mark to work through a significant injury to our relationship. Mark is incredibly open, kind and compassionate. He's very good at making me feel heard and validated, without bringing judgement or bias into his views.I would highly recommend Mark. It's still early days for us however I'm grateful to have him onboard through our journey.

Mark G provided me with some sage advice and was able to use his own experiences for my benefit. I would be happy to recommend Mark to everyone. He's a lovely, experienced and knowledgeable practitioner.

We were extremely fortunate to be guided by Teagan throughout our experience. Teagan had a wealth of knowledge to share with us and taught us many tools and strategies that assisted various scenarios within our relationship. We can not thank Teagan enough for her dedication, compassion and sensitivity during our time with her.

We started seeing Tegan in May at a very big breaking point in our relationship. We both couldn’t see how we could get back on track, our marriage had fallen apart. Tegan guided us through EFT and it has changed our relationship completely. We have better communication and understanding for each other. It wasn’t about focusing on the issues more about fixing the root of the problems. Which has been lifesaving for us. We are about to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in December and excited to walk into the next 10 years with a happy healthy marriage. Thank you Tegan

My husband and I have been lucky to have met Alexandra Schiller when we did couples counselling for the very first time a couple of years ago. We instantly felt at ease, comfortable in her presence, and we both find her very relatable. This year we've invested more time in our relationship and are so grateful for Alex's guidance, empathy and support - our regular sessions with her have been a game changer for us. We gained deeper understanding and respect for each other and are committed to growing together, both individually and through our marriage, with Alex's support. We both look forward to our sessions with Alex and plan on continuing them for years to come because we get so much benefit.

Teagan was a very compassionate and caring therapist when I was going through honestly the worst time of my life. She started out as my marriage counsellor but then I began to see her privately on my own. Every time I left a session with Teagan I felt strong and empowered and built up again. She made me realise my self worth again and that I am worthy of love just as I am. I found her to be a really good listener and very empathetic, a mix between a therapist and your best friend. If it wasn’t for Teagan I wouldn’t be where I am today in my healing journey, in fact I may not be on a healing journey at all.

We have been getting counselling with Tracy & she has been doing a very good job to encourage us along to a much better approach. Most times we have gone slightly over time because it is working, Tracy keeps going to get us further along. She challenges us nicely & pulls up the wrong approach consistently.

Alexandra was our therapist for about a year, and her impact was incredible. In a time when my fiancé and I felt stuck in our differences, she provided a safe space where we felt seen, heard, and valued. Through her guidance, we gained a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other, and she renewed our hope for the future. Words cannot express our gratitude.

Suzanne was warm, understanding and nurturing with her counselling. Would 1000% recommend Suzanne to any couples seeking help (and we have been to a few).

Married for 33 years we had hit a slump. Taking this time away to focus on rebuilding our relationship and “safe haven” has been life changing. We are both so much more connected and happy…it’s awesome. Our counsellor Suzanne was warm, friendly, understanding and strong. She provided us with a safe and kind space to have deep conversations that were needed. We know we need to keep working on our relationship, there is no magic pill, but Suzzane has provided us with some great tools to assist. Worth every cent to have this experience. Every couple should invest in this.

We had Suzanne for the couple's retreat a couple of months ago and the service that Suzanne provided was very flexible around dates and time of when we could do the retreat. My husband and I flew from interstate and both agree it was very worth the trip and 2 months on we are a different couple than what we used to be. We are more positive to each other and discuss things together rather than argue and blame. We both communicate a lot better than before and often talk about how amazing Suzanne was and how she changed our relationship. I highly recommend Suzanne and the retreat! Thanks again Suzanne for all the amazing work you did with us, your skills are amazing and we are so grateful for everything!

My boyfriend and I did some sessions with Suzanne, and we have come out stronger than ever. She is so warm and supportive, we never felt embarrassed or judged. She gave us great tools and homework to heal some trauma, and she’s given us helpful communication tools for the future. I would highly recommend her! Thank you so much Suzanne!

Suzanne has an incredibly caring, gentle and supportive energy that reduces the stress of relationship councilling.Suzanne is incredibly insightful and empathetic, providing my partner and I with personal long term tools and strategies that has immediately soothed current issues and has prepared us for future challenges.I can't recommend this service enough for relationships wanting to heal and learn from trauma and difficulties.

Thank you Suzanne for sharing your expertise, support and beautiful energy with us.We are so blessed that the universe aligned us with you. Your ability to read us, hold us in a safe space and draw authentic emotion from us is amazing! I would very much recommend this experience.

Our 2-day couples retreat with Karen was a really positive experience. The intensive format allowed for clarification and focused attention to destabilizing patterns at depth. We’re now better able to avoid routine conflicts and are working with more skills to heal long-standing disputes and hurt feelings. Karen guided us skillfully, and we both felt like she was on our side as individuals, and as a couple. The comfortable and spacious accommodation was ideal to support this intensive work – whether walking down to the waterfall and rock pool, sitting on the deck watching dusk fall above the ridge line, or enjoying the morning kookaburra chorus across the valley - the environment was a really memorable counterbalance for our flexibly-held sessions.

My partner and I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone considering couples therapy.Although apprehensive at first Jonathan created a safe and open environment that has allowed my partner and I to truly express ourselves. Jonathan’s ability to lead conversations and intuition in asking those questions we don’t think to ask ourselves or partner’s has led to many “ah ha” moments for us. I leave our sessions feeling like a weight has lifted from my chest and deeply connected to my partner.Thank you Jonathan you are amazing!

My partner and I have been seeing Johnathan for a month now and we can both agree his methodology and intuition is helping us as a couple but also individually.His charisma and peaceful personality made us feel safe and open up almost immediately.There is work to do but every session always impacts us positively.We highly recommed Johnathan.

I can't speak highly enough of Karen Higgenbottom and our recent experience working with her over a 3 day Couples Retreat. She had such insights, compassion and professionalism the whole way through. We definitely felt we were in very safe and highly skilled hands.

Erin Stirling

My husband and I highly recommend Karen as a relationship counsellor. Life was getting very busy with work and kids and we just weren't seeing eye-to-eye as we used to. Karen's techniques were so helpful to break down that wall between us and through her guidance we were able to fall in love with each other all over again! We loved her calm and gentle manner, her patience and her deep insights into our relationship. Thank you Karen!

Andrew and Trish Mackie-Smith

Forever grateful for the 3 day couples therapy with Karen! So glad we took time-out of our super busy lives to focus on what matters most - our relationship! Karen enabled us to delve deeply into difficult issues & with her kind, calm & caring guidance, helped us recognise negative patterns in our communication and apply practical tools for resolving arguments. Karen was highly skilled at teaching us about emotional connection that we hope will continue to develop and enrich our marriage into the future.

My husband and I have been seeing Alex since April. I went into these sessions believing there was no way to salvage our marriage. I am very grateful to say, although we still have a lot of work to do, we are in a much better space together. We both highly recommend Alex. She is incredibly supportive of us both and has always stayed strong and present in our sessions (we've had some very heated and emotional that I wonder how she managed). We will always continue our sessions to ensure we stay on track. Thank you Alex, we are forever grateful!

Karen Higginbottom was so caring and intelligent with her approach to us and our situation. The intensive 3 day couples retreat was perfect for us as we were able to make ground breaking progress in a short period of time. We were previously struggling to accommodate single sessions spaced out with our other commitments of work, life, etc.Karen enabled us to learn so much about ourselves and each other over the 3 days. We have never felt more in touch with each other, stronger and in love. We are so so grateful for the incredible impact she has had on our relationship.

Karen helped us identify the cycle that led to frequent arguments. She broke down our experiences into micro moments so that we could identify our triggers, realise our needs and catch ourselves before things escalated with a conscious pause before we reacted. This allowed for more respectful responses and a feeling of being listened to and understood. She taught us about our emotional and logical brain and when these fire up. We managed to find a better understanding of our needs for intimacy and how to get them met too. All this within 3 sessions! (she recommends 8) We both feel supported and completely settled. We are extremely grateful and will not hesitate to connect in future if we need a moderator to support us through a challenge.Thank you.J & J, Mundoolun QLD

Karen's approach is compassionate, intuitive, gentle and caring. All very important when dealing with deep rooted problems that were found to be manifesting in daily life. Her gentle and compassionate approach helped tease out these problems, bring awareness to them, provide tools to help and ultimately heal. I highly recommend Karen.

Jonathan is absolutely worth more than 5 stars. Sensitive, intuitive, focused, down to earth.He is very skilled at the technique he uses (emotion focused therapy) in relationship counselling. It's impressive how powerful each session is and the exponential progress our relationship has made over such a short amount of time is priceless.

After only one session with Jonathan we felt a whole lot of stuff shift and since then so much has changed. My husband has turned a major corner. Jonathan's natural approach unpacked things for us in a huge way. Forever grateful.

Jasmine

My husband and I are very thankful for the impact Jonathan has had on our relationship. He has helped us from being ready to just give up to being stronger and happier than we have been in a very long time. As someone who had no experience or expectation of what couples counselling was, Jonathan’s approach put us both at ease and created an environment that allowed us to feel safe in being open and honest with each other. He even managed to do this whilst navigating cultural and language barriers! I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. Thank you Jonathan.

Jonathon is a gentle, compassionate and talented therapist. He has taught us how to communicate with and listen to each other in a way we never thought possible. He has also given us the tools to be more aware of our own thoughts and feelings and stay present as individuals. I would highly recommend Jonathon to anyone.
