New Year, Old Couple: Rebuild Your Relationship in 4 Sunday Sessions (Perth) Why Marriage Counselling is a True Investment for a Happy Life.
It’s January, and the world is loudly insisting you become a “new you”. New gym. New diet. New calendar. New goals. And meanwhile, your relationship is doing what it often does after the festive season: limping into the new year with an invisible backpack full of old resentments, unsaid things, mismatched expectations, and that strange feeling of being in the same house but not quite on the same team.

Can AI be my Couples Counsellor? If you had asked me even three years ago whether artificial intelligence would play a meaningful role in relationship coaching and therapy, I might have raised an eyebrow, paused, and said “possibly… but cautiously.” Fast forward to now, and the question is no longer if AI belongs in this space, but how . Couples are already using AI to draft breakup texts, analyse arguments, interpret attachment styles, and even decide whether their relation

Why Avoidance Kills More Relationships Than Conflict – Lessons from Couples Counselling Perth
As a couples counsellor here in Perth, something I see every single week is this : avoidance quietly erodes relationships far more often than loud conflict ever does. It happens slowly, almost imperceptibly, like a tide pulling sand from beneath your feet. One day you realise you’re both standing on very different shorelines.
