Transforming your relationships with practical tools and neuroscience

Relationship therapy for individuals, couples and families in Melbourne and online

Practical relationship support for you

Healthy and lasting relationships are hard work. We are not born with a manual on how to relate. Instead, we rely on the models that we grew up with or saw in the movies.

These models rarely suit our needs. If you feel sometimes like you are making it up as you go along or fumbling your way in the dark, you are not alone.

Grounded relational therapy that helps you reconnect

Healthy relationships don’t happen automatically. Relationships don’t come with a how-to manual and most of us were never taught how to communicate clearly, navigate conflict, repair trust, or create emotional safety in our lives. Instead, we often repeat the patterns we grew up around or have pieced together across many years of broken relationships.

If you feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected from your partner or family, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, you are not alone.

At Right Relationship, we specialise in providing practical, evidence-based relationship therapy for individuals, couples and families in Melbourne and online throughout Australia.

We can help you move from conflict, shutdown, anxiety, and disconnection towards deeper intimacy, secure attachment, emotional safety, and authentic connection.

Relationship struggles are normal and happen for everyone at one time or another. Some times it can be helpful to have someone impartial and outside the relationship to listen and provide feedback and help you identify where things are going off track and give you tools to create a secure and successful relationship.

Our Specialties

What other people say about Right Relationship:

“I always valued your empathy, that patience and the fact that you remained totally present with me. I never felt judged or that what I was feeling was wrong. That approach allowed me to give full and open airing to whatever was bothering me and come to my own conclusions. That’s far more powerful and longer lasting than being “fixed”.”

“Working with Robin transformed my relationship. We were in a place of crisis, repeating patterns of poor communication . Robin’s therapy taught us that long term relationships are work and require care and love. He taught us to ‘date’ again and 2 years on from crisis point, our relationship is in the best place it’s ever been. Through somatic practices I was able to address anxiety in my body and stay present during conflict, to get to the root before it became a serious issue. I am so grateful and couldn’t recommend Robin enough.”

“As a couple we learnt a lot about our attachment styles and that our emotional reactions are based on something beyond the issue at hand. Our relationship is a journey and understanding each other is a key part of that. We now understand how to progress and learn as we go.”

“From the first session, I felt really comfortable and understood by Robin…I went from being quite anxious in relationships to feeling much more secure and allowing space for a healthy relationship. “Robin’s approach is sensitive and non-judgemental. It also uses breathing and body awareness techniques which helped me to stay grounded and truly connect with what I felt. I started using these in my day-to-day whenever I felt like I needed them and it has made a huge difference.”

“Robin’s foresight, intuition and knowledge created a safe space for me to explore…”

“Robin’s attentive listening has been a blessing during a time when I have needed professional help to ‘get my thoughts and feelings straight.’ Having someone hear me say out loud, with compassion, some of what was otherwise ‘spinning its wheels’ on the inside helped put some of the associated fears in their place, and get a grip on underlying anxieties.”

“It was our first time seeing a couples counsellor and the experience helped us to work through some long standing issues in our relationship. We are now in a really good place and communicate much better and are able to listen and respond to each other’s needs thanks to Robin’s insights. From the beginning, Robin made it feel like a comfortable and safe space, which was incredible given how bad a place were in as a couple. Robin brings a judgment free approach, perceptiveness and wisdom to his practice. Thank you Robin for working with us.”

“Robin is a fantastic listener with a practical, caring approach to helping you navigate life’s challenges. His patience and compassion are always felt, and you’ll leave with a sense of comfort knowing you’ve spoken with someone who offers genuine empathy and understanding.”
