Relationship Counselling

Smiling client after therapy breakthrough

Relationships are layered, emotional, and deeply personal. At Empowered People & Co, we provide a structured, compassionate space where couples can explore disconnection, rebuild emotional safety, and shift from conflict to curiosity. Whether you're feeling distant, stuck in old patterns, or simply seeking to strengthen your connection, we're here to help you understand each other more clearly and relate more meaningfully. We provide a neutral and validating space that centres both partners equally. Our approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and adaptable to diverse relationships and needs.

Who It's For

We work with:

  • Couples of all genders, backgrounds, and relationship structures

  • Partners experiencing conflict, emotional disconnection, or communication breakdowns

  • Those navigating trauma, parenting stress, or neurodiversity

  • Relationships impacted by betrayal, grief, or loss

  • NDIS participants where relationships are part of broader care planning

What We Work On

  • Repeating conflict cycles and miscommunication

  • Emotional disconnection and unmet needs

  • Trust repair and rebuilding after rupture

  • Navigating trauma, mental health, or neurodivergence within the relationship

  • Co-parenting and family stress

  • Supporting different communication or emotional styles

  • Relationship burnout, resentment, and recovery

  • Boundaries, attachment wounds, and emotional safety

Methodologies:

We draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to support couples in building stronger, more connected relationships. These include Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, schema-informed couples work, and attachment-focused frameworks. Our approach also incorporates psychoeducation, communication coaching, and conflict mapping to help partners better understand and navigate their dynamics. All techniques are delivered in a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming way, ensuring each couple feels safe, understood, and empowered.

Session options:

We offer sessions in-person or via Telehealth, with flexible scheduling designed to meet the needs of both partners.

Our Promise

We don’t take sides, we hold space. Whether you're here to reconnect, rebuild, or part ways with care, our role is to guide the process with honesty, insight, and deep respect for your relationship.
