Imago Relationship Therapy developed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt. Ph.D is a structured process where couples are assisted and coached, in engaging in safe & respectable conversation with each other about the issues they present with. As a result they gain a deeper empathy and understanding for each other's emotional unmet needs and grievances, bringing about a more intimate, closer connection and healing of the relationship.
It depends on the health of your relationship and the issues you present with. If you have a fairly good relationship, and you just need some tools to enhance and strengthen it, you may only need to come for 2 or 3 sessions. For other needs where there has been an emotional and/or physical disconnection in the relationship, and a certain amount of wounding, due to
unresolved issues including infidelity, a minimum of 5-10 sessions or longer may be needed. It will depend on how willing and committed you both are in doing the work required to change the old ways of relating. As a result, new and healthier ways of relating and resolving issues confidently will bring about healing, transformation and a sense of empowerment.
Whilst I am unable to provide rebates for private health, some concessions are available as stated under 'Fees' So you do not require a referral, simply call me and make a booking.
Yes, Eftpos is accepted. Alternatively, I also accept cash or you can do an online direct transfer on the day of appointment.
Couple sessions run for 90 minutes and provides sufficient time to not only build rapport with the therapist, but complete a Basic Details form and discuss the reasons you have come for counselling, sharing your goals and how you would like your relationship to be. Thinking about how you may each contribute to your relationship in a manner that is not helpful and causes the other to feel triggered will be considered, and why each feels the way they do. New ways of being will be considered and tools provided to ensure a more safe and intimate connection. Opportunity to experience the Imago process will be offered to begin working on whatever is important to both will follow. If you feel I am the right therapist for you, then I would love the opportunity to support you both equally for future sessions.
