Couples
It’s time to reignite your relationship and the power of a good feeling is all it takes.
Connection
is everything.
It feeds our soul. When we feel connected, we feel good and when we feel good, life becomes so much easier to handle. It’s a crazily simple formula but somewhere along the line, we’ve made it complicated and hard.
And seeking help can sometimes be even harder. There is so much pressure placed on us, especially women, to maintain perfect relationships and to suffer alone through the difficult times.
Reaching out for help is not a sign of personal failure. It’s actually a sign of a desire to change and grow, of humility and awareness that there is more to relationships than just survival, dependency and attachment.
Note: If you’re here right now looking at this on your own, and you’re not sure if your partner is willing or interested in coming on board, it’s important to know it’s not always necessary for both partners to work with me in order to create change, often it only takes one. Head over to my Individuals page to see how I can work with you on your own around your relationship.
Over the course of 10 weeks, together we’ll explore how our thinking impacts our everyday experiences and relationships. I’ll help you both to look at your lives and the way you relate to one another through the lens of the understanding I teach. Working together in this way over 10 weeks allows space for your understanding to grow and develop over time, with the opportunity to address challenges and obstacles as they may occur in your life.
These one-on-one sessions, both as individuals and as a couple, are unlimited and scheduled for as often as you need them over the 10 weeks, and can be done in person or via phone or Zoom, with unlimited email and Voxer messaging support in between. There is also the option of continuing on a month to month basis, if desired. All supportive material and resources are included.
This includes access to my 6 week online program Relatable, set up in my private client portal area with access to extra resources.

"Perhaps the most profound impact that Fiona has had on my life is through her work with my partner. My partner worked with Fiona’s with the intention of reconciling our relationship. Fiona’s assistance helped to facilitate a reconciliation between my partner and I, for which I am tremendously grateful. We are now so much better equipped to deal with the ups and downs and are far more resourceful when we experience problems. Fiona really helped us to save our relationship. Thank you so very much Fiona!"
- Tricia Musto
"Since seeing Fiona, things between my husband and I are going nicely and slowly, we are doing things differently now. We are making efforts to be kind to each other and prioritising time spent with each other, we are consciously correcting mistakes with each other, so life has become very peaceful and very calm, which is nice. We are putting our energy into creating so much goodwill that our problems become easier to talk about or cease to exist. We are having many more good feeling times than not, now; which means we are heading in the right direction. Because things have become nice between us we have fixed some issues really easily because it is becoming easy to talk to each other and we have a very clear eye on the prize, (being happy together).
Thank you Fiona – working with you has truly saved our marriage!"
- Sherston and Paul Chaplin

The Couples Retreat program is a 4-day interlude from the demands of everyday life, here on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. It’s a unique opportunity for you and your partner to come together and explore a fresh, new way of looking at and understanding your relationship and each other.
Over the four days, I will guide you through a deepening conversation around the principles I teach, with plenty of space in between our morning and afternoon sessions to reflect and allow for this understanding to ‘land’.
There is no hard work to be done here or difficult, traumatic history to be rehashed. It’s simply an opportunity to learn and develop a whole new level of understanding, relating and being that has the power to transform every part of your life as well as your relationship.
These powerful one-on-one sessions are tailor-made to your own personal situation, with two sessions each beforehand to prepare and two follow-up sessions by phone or Zoom afterwards.

“My husband Rob and I first met Fiona about 5 years ago and I have to say things just get better and better. Since working with her we have both lightened up a lot, are more playful with each other and get over things so much quicker.
Understanding moods and not putting meaning on them was life changing for both of us and has meant that we are more relaxed and open with each other.
Most importantly, I’m a lot more open, and I’m feeling the familiar ‘return to source’ I felt years ago just before I first met Robert – it’s a magical feeling.
I’d recommend Fiona and her programs to any couple or anyone really who has ticked all the boxes in their life and still feels like something is missing.
People who are wanting to take their relationship with their partner, children and loved ones to a new level. Women who own or run their own businesses or are heavily invested in their careers who want to address their chronic stress levels and fatigue.
Thanks Fiona, it’s been a wild ride, and a great learning experience.

“I loved every session with Fiona and always felt a
deeper sense of calm afterwards. She was always patient, loving and very intuitive throughout the sessions.
She deepened my understanding about the way human beings truly work and with this understanding a couple of things opened up.... for one the beauty of life sparkles more brightly, there is more ease around my relationships and the everyday miracles get noticed a little more.
Also, the roller coaster of life, feels a lot smoother. There are still ups and downs, but the purpose of her work is not to eliminate the contrasts that are life itself, but more so to lessen the grip and resistance to anything
that shows up, so everything just feels a little easier. She is a gift, and I highly recommend anyone and everyone work with her - no matter what it is you need, your life will be richer for the experience of working together".

I’m so excited to announce that my brand new 6 week program, Relatable, is here.
This is the next best thing to working with me one-on-one. Everything I have learned, experienced and implemented with my clients, from over 11 years in private practice and over 10,000 clinical hours, I have poured into this program.
Relatable is everything I wish I’d known about how relationships work, how our minds work, how we create our human experience of life. This is the fundamental life skill we all need to teach ourselves and our children, and share with our colleagues and teams.
I now have students from all over the world -Canada, The US, The Uk, New Zealand, Asia and Australia doing Relatable and they regularly tell me that they have never done a program where they have seen so much profound change so easily and so quickly.
“Thank you Fiona for so many things. Thank you for allowing me to take a step back and notice and accept who I am. Thank you through your mentoring program, for giving me the space I needed to grow in my understanding of not only the 3p’s but myself. I’ve always known I’ve wanted to help people but never knew how and you have given me the guidance I needed to find my path. The courage and strength to take the plunge. You’re presence, honesty, wisdom and care every single session not only makes me feel amazing afterwards but teaches me how to be with my own clients. You’re a true example of how I’d love to influence and coach others. What more could a student ask for.”
- Rebecca D’angelo Mentee
The way I work with couples is quite different to any traditional marriage or couples counselling you may have experienced. It’s fun, it’s light and my clients actually look forward to our sessions together. It’s not about bringing the two of you together to talk about your problems and all the things you don’t like about each other, and then leaving the sessions feeling less hopeful. The simple truth is, we are all far more open and responsive to learning when we feel good. We’re more open to experiencing insight and seeing something new, which is really important in creating change.
Initially, I’ll see both you and your partner separately on an individual basis, only bringing you together as a couple when I feel you’re ready. The reason for this is that the bulk of the change you’ll see will be through the individual work we do together first.
Be prepared for any tightly-held veneers and facades to come down. Couples often tell me in the past they felt their partner was able to ‘hoodwink’ the therapist and uphold a facade of being okay, which the therapist was unable to see past. In contrast, the very nature of the understanding I share and how I work is all about looking beyond such facades, so they tend to be put aside fairly quickly.
To help give you a better idea of my process when working with couples, here is a broad overview from our initial conversation through to the completion of our sessions together.
The sessions you have together as a couple are last, and I do so for a reason. It’s important that your sessions together are positive, light and fun, and full of hope and potential. So I will only bring you together as a couple when I believe you’re ready, and not before.
Most of the work will be done through our individual sessions together. The couple work is really just the icing on the cake. It’s not the cake itself. The cake is the individual work, which we do together. Of course, this depends on the couple but there are usually nowhere near as many sessions as people think they need together.
