Relationship Counselling in Cairns AND ONLINE

Relationships, whether with partners, family, or loved ones, can be one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. But they can also bring challenges, conflict, or patterns that feel hard to break. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed in your relationships, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

At The Heart Centred Therapist in Cairns, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore relationship concerns, understand the patterns at play, and develop healthier ways of connecting.

People often seek relationship counselling when they’re experiencing:

• Frequent conflict or communication breakdowns
   
• Feeling unheard, invalidated, or dismissed
   
• Boundaries that are unclear or constantly crossed
   
• Struggles with trust, jealousy, or insecurity
   
• Repeated unhealthy or toxic relationship patterns
   
• Difficulty balancing needs between self and others
   
• Past trauma or family experiences influencing current relationships
   

Whether you’re navigating intimate partner issues, family conflict, or friendship struggles, counselling can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

In our work together, we’ll explore not just the “what” of your relationship difficulties, but also the “why.” This often involves looking at:

• Boundaries: Understanding your limits, learning to communicate them clearly, and building respect around them.
   
• Triggers: Noticing where reactions come from, especially if they’re linked to past experiences, trauma, or attachment patterns.
   
• Healthy vs. Unhealthy Dynamics: Exploring what respectful, supportive, and balanced relationships look like, and identifying when patterns may be harmful or draining.
   
• Communication Skills: Practicing ways to express your needs and feelings while also listening to others.
   
• Self-Awareness: Gaining clarity on your values, needs, and expectations so you can create relationships that truly support you.
   

My counselling style is warm, non-judgemental, and grounded in trauma-informed, person-centred practice. Together, we’ll work at your pace to uncover patterns, heal past wounds, and build skills for healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I also integrate approaches such as:

• Attachment theory – understanding how early relationships influence current ones.
   
• Strengths-based therapy – focusing on what’s already working and building from there.
   
• Practical strategies – offering tools you can use day-to-day to manage triggers and improve connection.
   

Relationship counselling isn’t just about “fixing problems”, it’s about helping you create connections that feel safe, supportive, and fulfilling.

If you’re ready to explore what’s possible in your relationships, I’d love to walk alongside you.
