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.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
