couples COUNSELLING IN THE macedon ranges

Hi, I’m Francesca
Want to get your relationship to a better place?

Even when you love someone deeply, being in a relationship that is going wrong is one of life’s most painful experiences.

As you are reading this, you’ve probably been asking: How did we get here? What went wrong? Why are we so stuck in this negative cycle? Should we even stay together?

The good news is that great relationships involve skills and awareness that can be learned and improved. The pain that you are both in right now can be reversed. That’s where couples counselling comes in.

I help couples improve your communication and deepen your bond. I teach you to handle conflicts with kindness. I assist couples dealing with infidelity or betrayal. When a relationship becomes too hard, I support you to make your decision on whether to separate. I guide you through conversations that actually lead to clarity and change, not just more conflict.


I’m an ACA registered counsellor located in Woodend in the Macedon Ranges.

My couples counselling services include:

  • Couples Counselling ~ strengthen your communication and connection and start feeling like a couple again!

  • Affairs Counselling ~ get the support you need to heal from betrayal and decide how to move forward.

  • Pre-Marriage Counselling ~ create a shared vision and healthy communication patterns from the outset!

  • Pre-Separation Counselling ~ work through the tough decision of whether to stay together or separate.

Any of these describe your relationship?

  • A couple who has stopped being kind to each other and needs to find better ways to connect and communicate.

  • A couple that still love each other but have lost connection, and now it feels like you’re just housemates or co-parents.

  • A couple trapped in a negative cycle of criticism and defensiveness, to the point where it’s impossible to have a conversation anymore.

  • A couple tired from constant fighting, grudges, and struggling to agree, making it hard to enjoy each other's company.

  • A couple negotiating infidelity or betrayal and in need of professional support to guide you through this difficult journey.

  • A couple that is strong but understands the need to keep growing and improving their relationship.

  • A couple soon to be married and knows that a happy marriage is about a lot more than the wedding day.

  • A couple deciding if their relationship is over or if they should try again.
