Practical Marriage &
Relationship Counselling
Many couples endure seven years of unhappiness in marriage before seeking help. But it doesn't have to be your story. Life is more fulfilling when our relationships thrive.
​
It's possible to have your needs met, feel heard, break the cycle of conflict, and establish a deep emotional connection to have the best married life.
​
Receive the insights and support necessary to rejuvenate your marriage, bringing back the love, passion, and friendship you shared on your wedding day.
A Fresh Approach
Practical Strategies
A no nonsense approach with simple language, and practical strategies and tools you can apply immediately without needing long-term counselling.
No Nonsense
Complete a pre-counselling assessment to maximise counselling session time. An empathetic, straight shooting, no nonsense approach.
​
In Person or From Home
Online counselling means no travel time, no babysitter, no transport costs. People open up more, are more relaxed in their own home, getting better results.
A Unique Difference
Save counselling time by skipping the usual history review. Instead, I ask couples to complete a thorough, personalised online questionnaire before we begin. This unique tool explores your relationship's strengths and weaknesses, including communication, conflict resolution, parenting, roles, responsibilities, finances, social life, sexual expectations, personality type, family history, and more.
Your answers are compared to identify agreements, disagreements, and areas needing attention.

Practical Online Counselling
My clients love the better results zoom sessions offer. Being relaxed in your own home means you are more comfortable opening up with how you really feel. If you have kids, there's no need to find a babysitter. You won't waste time traveling or sitting in a waiting room.
In-Person Consultations
If you prefer to met in person, I'd love to meet you at my fresh, modern Gold Coast clinic at Varsity Lakes. Conveniently located in the Varsity CBD with underground parking.
In-person consultations are conducted by appointment during business hours.
Compassion and Care
Without the BS
I'm compassionate, eager to hear from both of you and I'm a straight shooter - I don't beat around the bush. I'll already have the results of your pre-counselling assessment and I'll be ready to ask you some specific questions and get straight into it.
You'll leave each session with practical tools (homework) you can apply to make a real, positive difference to your life and your relationship.

Whether you're looking for counselling as a couple or on your own, my commitment is unwavering. I strive to provide the highest quality services, tailored to each client's unique needs. Through a personalised and evidence-based approach, I guide individuals and couples in overcoming challenges and fortifying their relationships and improving their life.
EXPERIENCED.
COMPASSIONATE.
TO THE POINT.
Utilising my extensive counselling experience, spanning more than 15 years, I bring a wealth of expertise to your relationship, delivering tangible results for individuals and couples alike. Whether you attend sessions alone or with your partner, I navigate a broad range of dynamics, employing holistic, person-centred, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles.
I work one-on-one with couples and individuals to highlight strengths in their relationship, pinpoint weaknesses and equip them to create an emotionally intimate relationship.
Mark is excellent and we have gotten so much out of our sessions so far. Mark is empathetic, intuitive and so astute. He seems to hit the nail on the head every time and always gives us practical advice and feedback, without being condescending. We have genuinely seen instant results, with a significant improvement in our ability to communicate and show affection, as he gave us simple, practical advice to implement straight away.
For anyone wanting to improve any aspects of their marriage, we cannot recommend Mark enough and are so grateful to have taken this step.
