Couples Counselling

Couples & Relationship Counselling in-person & Online

Why I See You Individually First

This helps us to

• Understand your personal history and relationship patterns

• Hear each partner’s perspective without pressure

• Ensure counselling is safe, respectful, and appropriate

• Set clear goals so our couples' sessions are focused and useful

After your individual sessions, we move into joint couples counselling.

Who I Work With

I work with people at different stages of their relationships, including

• Couples (general) wanting to improve communication, connection, or intimacy

• Individuals with relationship issues, whether you attend with your partner or on your own

• Pre‑marital / pre‑commitment couples wishing to build a strong foundation before the next step

• Separated or considering separation, needing space to think clearly and make grounded decisions

• LGBTQ+ couples and individuals, in an affirming and inclusive environment

The focus is always on improvement, growth, and helping you move toward the kind of relationship you want.

Who I am...

I’m Dom Lawrenson, an ACA Level 4 accredited counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association, providing individual and couples counselling in Berwick, Victoria, and online across Australia

I support:

• Couples wanting to improve or repair their relationship

• Individuals working through relationship stress or big decisions

• Pre‑marital and pre‑commitment couples preparing for a long‑term partnership

• Separated or unsure couples navigating complex emotions and choices

• LGBTQ+ clients, with a commitment to inclusive, respectful practice

My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. I see each partner individually first, so everyone has space to be heard and to clarify what they want from counselling. From there, we work together in couples sessions, focusing on understanding patterns, improving communication, and supporting meaningful change.
