    Most couples experience tough periods. If you and your partner have been feeling distant, stuck in the same arguments, or unsure how to get back on track, marriage counselling near McKinnon at the Melbourne Specialist Relationship Counselling Clinic (MSRCC) offers a place to pause and find your footing again, together.

    You may have been pulled in different directions by life, or maybe you just feel like co-managers instead of couples. Whatever the reason, reaching out means your relationship matters. It is not about blaming. It is about finding a better way forward.

     

    Why Choose Marriage Counselling Near McKinnon?

    Getting help locally can take some of the pressure off. Choosing marriage counselling near McKinnon means working with therapists who understand what life looks like in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs. Whether you’re managing young kids, careers, or extended family responsibilities, we know how connection can sometimes fall behind everything else.

    MSRCC has been supporting couples in and around McKinnon since 2018. Our approach is respectful and down-to-earth. Whether you are facing a major issue or just feel a bit out of step, we offer a space where both partners feel valued, safe and supported right from the beginning.

     

    What We Help With

    Relationships are complex. Even couples who care deeply for one another can feel lost at times. Often, the issues aren’t clear-cut. It’s a sense that something has shifted, and it’s harder to connect.

    We help couples work through a range of concerns, including:

    • Ongoing disagreements that seem to go in circles

    • Emotional or physical distance

    • Rebuilding after infidelity or a breach of trust

    • Stress caused by parenting, career, or family expectations

    • Conflict around money, intimacy or shared responsibilities

    • Losing the sense of “us” within the day-to-day routine

    Counselling for couples offers a calm, neutral space to speak honestly, listen differently and begin to understand each other in a new way. It’s not about winning arguments. It’s about finding your way back to connection.

     

    How Counselling Can Help

    You don’t need to wait for things to break down completely before getting support. In fact, many couples come to counselling because they care enough to act before things get worse.

    With the help of a trained therapist, you can:

    • Talk more clearly and calmly

    • Rebuild emotional closeness and intimacy

    • Learn about your partner’s emotional world

    • Work through old hurts or resentments

    • Handle life demands as a team rather than individually

    • Forge stronger foundations for the future

    At MSRCC, we use proven, evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method, neurobiology and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These frameworks provide helpful guidance while allowing room for your unique story as a couple.

     

    What to Expect in Your First Session

    Your first session is a starting point, not a test or a confrontation. You don’t need to come in with the perfect words. It’s enough to show up and be open to the process.

    You’ll both have time to speak about what’s been happening, how it’s affected you, and what you’d like to see change. Your therapist will help guide the conversation in a way that feels balanced and safe for both of you. Together, you’ll start shaping a path forward.

    Our clinic is close to McKinnon, so it’s easy to fit sessions into your weekly routine without adding extra pressure.
