Medicare doesn't usually cover couples sessions. It's for one person's treatment under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. If you have private health extras, check what your policy covers.
Either of you can call to book
Who's coming, and what's going on for you both.
Getting started
If only one of you is ready
You can start with sessions on your own, and we'll talk about what comes next. There's also a page written for your partner.
What it can feel like.
Every relationship faces challenges. Stress, communication breakdowns, life transitions or unresolved conflicts can create distance between partners, and the same hurts can keep coming up. Couples therapy isn't about choosing sides. It's a space to pause, listen and understand each other.
- Frequent arguments or conflicts that don’t get resolved
- Feeling disconnected, unheard or unappreciated
- Differences over parenting, money, intimacy or values
- Trust that’s been broken
- Adjusting to changes such as parenthood, a new job or loss
Relationship difficulties don’t mean failure. They’re a sign the relationship needs attention and new ways of working together.
How we approach couples therapy
Our psychologists make room for both partners and keep conversations focused on practical changes you choose together.
- 1
Understanding your experience
Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for you, including what’s happening between you, where you get stuck and what each of you wants. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.
- 2
Choosing an approach together
Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit you, then you agree on a plan together.
- 3
Reviewing the plan together
Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you, using measures chosen for you and what you’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.
What support can include
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy A structured approach to how you communicate, handle conflict and stay connected.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Looks at the emotional patterns behind the arguments that keep coming back.
- Communication skills Practising listening with empathy and saying what you need clearly.
- Conflict management Working on what happens when arguments start, and how you each respond.
- Trust after a breach Practical steps you work through together, at a pace that suits you both.
- Shared goals Talking through the values and plans you want to build around.

Psychologists who work with couples
Depth behind the person you see
You see one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervision built in, and time set aside to keep up with the research.
Trained for the work in front of them
Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.
Enough of us to match you properly
With 25+ psychologists, we can put you with someone who works with what you’re facing, your age group, and the way you like to work.
Keeping up, on purpose
New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.
If something isn’t working.
Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.
Ask for a different psychologist
We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else. No reason needed, and you won’t have to start over.
Talk it through with your psychologist
Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.
Wondering about medication?
If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP with what we’ve found, with your consent.

How does Unbound Minds support couples?
We use evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to work on communication, conflict and trust. Sessions are tailored to your goals as a couple and focus on practical strategies you can use between sessions.
Do you only work with couples in crisis?
No. Some couples come when they’re facing serious challenges. Others come to work on communication or to prepare for a big change. You can start at any stage of a relationship.
What happens in a couples therapy session?
Sessions usually involve both partners, though individual check-ins may also occur. Together, we identify patterns of communication, explore areas of conflict, and practise new ways of relating. Your psychologist guides the process so conversations remain constructive.
What if one of us is more willing than the other?
This is common. You can still start if one partner is hesitant. Our role is to create a balanced space where both voices are heard and respected, without taking sides.
Can therapy help if trust has been broken?
Couples therapy can support that process, though it takes time and effort from both of you. Your psychologist helps you explore what led to the breach, what each of you needs, and what rebuilding safety could look like.
