Relationships/Kin/Family & Couples Therapy
What to expect when you come to Relationships/Kin/Family Somatic Counselling?
-
Our initial Sessions take about
1 hour to 1.5 hours.
What we cover in the first session
Our first session sets the tone for how we’ll work together. We’ll go over the basics — things like confidentiality, safety, when I may need to report concerns, cancellations, and how I support couples using somatic, relational and narrative approaches.
After that, we’ll gently explore what brings you both here. I’ll invite you to share a little about your relationship, what’s been happening, and what you’re hoping to change or understand.
You might be asked questions like:
What challenges are coming up between you right now?
How long have these been showing up?
Have you tried counselling before?
What have you already tried to navigate these concerns?
What would you like from our work together?
This first session is simply about getting to know each other, understanding your story, and creating a safe foundation for the work ahead.what you need to plan-discuss and look for feeling agreements.
3+ People - Costs can range from - $250 Initial Session.
4 people - Kin/family/relationships - up to 4 max people - $275 Initial Session.

What We Cover in Ongoing Sessions
After our first session, the work becomes more focused. Each session builds on what we’ve learnt about your relationship, your patterns, your strengths, and what you both want moving forward.
We might explore:
communication styles and emotional responses
the deeper stories, beliefs or hurts sitting underneath conflict
how each of you feels in the relationship (connection, safety, needs, hopes)
your nervous system responses and how they shape the way you relate
practical tools to help you regulate, reconnect and repair after stress
Every session is tailored — no two couples are the same. You’ll both have space to speak, reflect, and try new ways of relating in a calm, supported environment.
Initially you may need 3-5 session weekly or fortnightly.
Then after that dependant on the relationship outcomes you may wish to move to a monthly basis/check-in mode.
up to 3 People - Costs can range from - $235 Ongoing Session.
Kin/family/relationships - up to 4 people - $265 Ongoing Session.
For four or more extra cost $90 p/p attend a relationship session.
Healing Generational and Inherited Trauma with Family/Kin/Relationship Therapy
Family/Kin/Relationships are complex and can hold internal hurts and forgotten stories within your bones. We explore how trauma, protective strategies, and unspoken stories can travel across generations.
Even when we don’t consciously know the history, our nervous systems often carry echoes of what came before us.
These inherited patterns may show up through:
• Ongoing anxiety or unease
• Relationship difficulties or repeating dynamics
• Feeling stuck or unable to move forward
• Disconnection from identity, self, culture, community, or belonging.
Unresolved trauma in our family line can influence how we relate, protect ourselves, and navigate the world.
Who is this work for?
This approach may support you if you:
• Feel weighed down by patterns you can’t explain
• Notice repeated themes across relationships or life stages
• Have a complex or fractured family history
• Carry cultural, ancestral, or intergenerational wounds
• Are exploring your identity, belonging, or lineage
• Come from communities impacted by colonisation, marginalisation, or systemic harm
• Want deeper healing beyond just body work, and thoughts and feelings- really get to the marrow of concern.
Your cultural identity, spirituality, and lived experience are honoured throughout the process.
Why This Approach is so powerful?
The effects of this work can be profound even if the process feels subtle or hard to understand intellectually. By bringing the deeper layers of your system into awareness — beyond cognitive thinking — you create space for:
• Relief from long-standing emotional patterns
• A stronger sense of identity and belonging
• Clarity around relational and behavioural cycles
• Increased resilience, grounding, and capacity
• Freedom to choose a different way forward
Generational healing allows you to step out of old roles and return what was never yours to carry.
