Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Relationship difficulties usually involve two people each bringing their own script and history into the same room. I work with individuals and couples to understand these patterns and build genuinely different ways of relating, rather than just better conflict management.

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.

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.

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.
