Investing in your partnership is a significant priority, yet finding professional therapy that aligns with your Christian values can be a challenge. Online therapy removes the logistical barriers of travel, allowing you to prioritise your relationship from the privacy of your own home. Whether you are dating, engaged, married, or navigating a separation, our clinicians provide a tailored approach that honours your spiritual worldview and supports your specific needs at any stage of your journey.
Our practitioners are trained in clinical frameworks designed for relationship science, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). We combine these professional methods with a deep respect for your Christian worldview, helping you move toward a more secure connection through specialised relationship counselling. All sessions are conducted via secure, encrypted platforms, ensuring your privacy is upheld to the highest professional standards, regardless of the current status of your partnership.
With warmth, wit and compassion, Our ‘Come Closer’ Course presents six science-backed strategies in eight bite-sized video lessons which couples can apply immediately to COME CLOSER to each other today and every day.
Each video lesson is also accompanied by a simple, practical exercise you can complete with your partner, if you choose, to strengthen and reinforce your learning.
There are no cringey, weird instructions or overly dramatic case studies, just evidence-based tools and tips communicated with authenticity and clarity.
We invite you to join us – with your partner or on your own – as we share our favourite ways to COME CLOSER today.
This can also be a great way to get to know us, or introduce your partner to the idea of relationship therapy in a fun, easy, low-pressure way.

Online therapy is an effective option for many Australians seeking flexible support. It is often well-suited for:
Professionals managing demanding work schedules
Individuals residing in rural or regional areas with limited local options
Those who prefer the privacy of their own home environment
People requiring specialised care that is not accessible within their immediate vicinity
Sessions are held via a secure video platform. Your clinician facilitates a professional dialogue that addresses your relationship challenges while respecting the spiritual foundations of your marriage. Both partners can join together from home or from separate locations if required.
We utilise gold standard clinical frameworks, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, and integrate these with a Christian perspective. This means we focus on the emotional bonds and patterns in your relationship while honouring the principles of grace and commitment found in Christian counseling.
The initial session is focused on understanding the history of your relationship and your current concerns. We will discuss your goals and how we can best support your marriage through a professional, faith integrated clinical approach.
Yes, each of our current therapists has over a decade of professional experience working in a range of settings and with a variety of presentations. All of our therapists are registered mental health professionals who have completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies in psychology, counselling or mental health. All are required to maintain their experience through regular professional development, including training and professional supervision. All of our therapists also have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy – a gold-standard treatment for relationship and family work.
Yes, as registered health professionals our therapists are required by their registering bodies to use evidence-based therapies in their practice. This means the techniques and strategies they use with you in therapy must have been shown in research to have a beneficial effect for the specific problems or challenges you’re bringing to therapy. No snake oil or quackery allowed.
We utilise high level, healthcare grade encryption for all video consultations to ensure your data and conversations remain confidential. We recommend that you join your session from a private, quiet location where you will not be interrupted, and use a secure internet connection rather than public Wi-Fi.
We are a privately billing clinic and each of our therapists charge different rates for their different services. Some services are eligible for a rebate under Medicare, DVA or private health insurance funding (with a valid referral or fund membership). Given this, it is best to enquire directly with our administrator, Marie. She can let you know the specific cost for the services you require, as well as any rebates which may apply. Taking rebates into account, fees for our services vary between $140-$350 per session, depending on what you need.
No. As mental health professionals, we work hard to follow all appropriate ethical codes and professional standards. We will never, under any circumstances, enforce any religious or spiritual beliefs, practices, judgements or opinions upon you.
As fellow, flawed humans, and recipients of God’s unconditional love and grace, we’re aware of our own imperfections, too. We seek to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you explore your spiritual and psychological needs through therapy.
At Connections Count you will be loved, respected and challenged to move towards wholeness, in alignment with your own values and worldview. We would be honoured to journey with you in support of your healing and growth.
