Couples Counselling

Are you wondering what happened to your relationship? Do you feel as if you are living with a roommate instead of a lover? Do you feel like you are constantly arguing and not able to see the good in each other? Do you look at your partner and think, "I can’t remember the last time I felt a spark?" Many couples want a safe space to talk through their issues with an experienced professional present, and clear plan for how to navigate their way back to closeness and warmth.
​
You might also be travelling OK, but wonder if things can be even better? Investing in your relational health is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your partner and your future.
I can work with you to: feel closer to each other, more connected and in tune, to feel valued, heard and understood, to have more fun, and to build a meaningful future together. Relationships Squared is for all couples and individuals with all types of sexual orientations.

About Me
Dr Karin du Plessis
PhD (Psychology) MA (Psychology)
BA (Psychology) DipCouns, MACA,
Member of the College of Supervisors
Hello and welcome! So, you are curious about how you can have a stronger and more loving bond with your partner? You have come to the right place.
It can feel uncomfortable to take the first step towards asking for help, but we all struggle from time to time, particularly in relationships where there is no playbook or manual. Reaching out for support from a professional with specialised training in working with couples, can help you focus on building a stronger relationship.
My clients describe me as warm, caring and approachable. I'm here to help you feel at ease so that you can share your story with me. This is not a place of judgment, but rather a safe one of acceptance.
​
I provide in-clinic (Ascot Vale, Melbourne, and from 1 March 2025 in Carlton North) and online counselling in Australia - which you can access from the comfort and privacy of your home. You should also know that what is discussed between us, stays between us. I offer a free 15-minute phone call (which you can schedule here) before setting up the first appointment so that you can have all of your questions answered, and get a feel for how I am as a couples counsellor. I am also available by email to answer any questions.
​
I also have some other engagement options, including
for couples:

and for clinicians:

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
