Dipak Jilka - Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – PACFA Reg. Clinical 26570
Relationships are an important part of living a fulfilled and complete life. I work with couples on numerous presenting challenges, including: communication, parenting, differing sexual desire and the effects of porn & substance on the relationship. I am trained in PACT (Psychosocial Approach to Couples Therapy) couples therapy and I combine this with my humanistic stance to therapy. The therapy you will experience is a balance between a focus on the relationship and each person as an individual. I invite you to call me to discuss your needs for couples therapy.
If you are planning on getting married, I offer a bespoke approach for you to explore all aspects of your relationship before getting married. This includes, life goals & hopes, finance, parenting, careers, relationships with family and friends, and perspectives on sex & intimacy.

Adam Kreuzer
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Diploma of Counselling, Professional Certificate of Adolescent Counselling
Relationships can be challenging at times. As we get older, we often grow, evolve or change. This can create friction between a couple, often leading to unhealthy behaviour, conflict or aggression. I have worked with many couples over the years to understand the root cause of their problems, building a healthy and strong connection for the future. I hold the couple accountable for their behaviour, seeking to understand what bonded them to each other in the first place. Goals and action planning for building of emotional intimacy is key.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Couples therapy at LEXs begins with a structured assessment phase: two sessions before ongoing work begins. The first session runs for 90 minutes, with space for both partners to share their history and for me to develop a clear sense of the relationship. The second session, 60 minutes, deepens the assessment, observes how the patterns we noticed in the first session play out, and ends with a shared agreement on next steps. From the third session onward, sessions are 60 minutes and focused on the work itself.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work extensively with couples caught in repeating cycles of conflict, withdrawal, defensiveness or disconnection. Rather than deciding who is right or wrong, we look beneath the conflict to understand the pattern between you and what each person brings to it. The work supports responsibility without blame, clearer communication, emotional safety, trust and a more conscious way of relating.

Sydney's high cost of living, competitive job market, and population density create significant ongoing stress for residents, with therapists frequently addressing housing anxiety, burnout, and the pressures of maintaining relationships in a fast-paced city. The city has large Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Lebanese communities, and culturally competent and multilingual therapists are in consistent demand across its diverse suburban and inner-city neighbourhoods. Sydney's mental health landscape is supported by institutions including Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the Black Dog Institute at UNSW, with a large private therapy community serving the CBD, Inner West, Northern Beaches, and Eastern Suburbs. Medicare rebates through Mental Health Treatment Plans make a significant number of sessions partially subsidised for eligible residents.
