Couples therapy in Melbourne

Deborah has been amazing in assisting my husband & I navigate through our difficulties, allowing us each a voice and opening up our lines of communication. She is compassionate, caring, diplomatic & very insightful. We have really appreciated our learning journey with Deb, as we can now move forward in our relationship with the strategies she has taught us. Thank you for being a great counsellor.

Gillian Fernandez is a wonderful therapist. She actively listened to my concerns, provided emphatic reactions/feedback and understanding, as well as, helpful professional advice. She has been of great help each session.

Gillian Fernandes is an exceptional therapist! She helped me through a very hard and challenging time in my life. She’s compassionate and a very good listener. She provided me with tools which I will value and use for the rest of my life.

Over the years we had shut many doors for various reasons. Stan gave us great tools to not only doors open these doors but to open new ones as well. It is truly wonderful to have a greater understanding of each other and have happiness back into our relationship. Yes it was a tough haul and it will take ongoing commitment but it is so worth it. Thank you Stan, you are a true Gem

Stan's guidance helped both of us see where we were lacking and how to progress forward. He was able to verbalise our issues in a non-judgemental manner that was clear, concise and from a place of care and compassion. Appreciate everything he has done for us!

My partner Lachy and I found Stan during the lockdowns; and we, like many others (I'm sure)... Were struggling with the feeling of being trapped in a home together 24/7, it was bringing up alot having both grew up in abusive households. Stan assisted us greatly with his wisdom, tools and knowledge, we are both very grateful for our time with him; he set us on a path for success - and I'm not sure where we would have been without him. All the blessings Stan, hope you're well!

What more can we say: Tess is one of the best in the business. Her kind, supportive & friendly nature created a safe & calm environment to open up, address issues & grow as individuals. Her sessions were instrumental in working through past experiences, coming out of all sessions with a better understanding of ourselves & allowing us to be a better version of our own selves today, tomorrow & forever. Tess made every discussion supportive & proactive, with no sense of judgement. She was always focused on the best outcome & open with her guidance. Thank you Tess. You are one special human who we will forever remember in our lives xx

Tess we can't thank you enough. After about 5 sessions with you our relationship is remarkably different because our understanding of each other has increased tenfold. You treat complex issues with expertise, compassion and a no-nonsene approach, and you've made us feel comfortable from the first moment we met. I always wondered if therapy was meant for me based on past experiences but you've helped me to see that of course I am worthy of healing (and it is possible too).

Tess has been a life changing ally to me. She has an insightful, gentle and clear approach and helps me to have more confidence in my decision making. Truly a life changer.

I felt that me and my partner are slowly drifting away with each other and many things just collapsed instantly. With the help of francesco, me and my partner made deep conversations with each other and fix our problems instantly without any bad circumstances happening. With that, I really thank Francesco for helping the both of us arrange things in a good way. Thank you so much Francesco.

Very supportive staff and seamless admin process. An amazing team! :-)

The Hart Centre have been thoroughly professional in every way, providing me with well-informed quality clients. From management to reception the Hart Centre are an outstanding organization.

Marlena is understanding, compassionate, kind and skilled person. I would hardly recommend her.

I had a great experience at Couples Therapy Melbourne. Before I met Francesco, I believed that Therapy sessions were not helpful, but, having a couple of sessions with Francesco absolutely changed my mind! I realized to have a good and effective therapy session, a connection should be formed between both sides, and Francesco knows how to make that connection. I've already recommended Francesco's therapy to some of my friends who have not been able to experience effective therapy sessions before! Thanks Couple Therapy Melbourne.

I have worked in a professional capacity with Catherine, Emma, and their group for years now, and I highly recommend their services. Their group has been nothing but caring, courteous and a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, couples therapy is an area where there are clients that aren't happy that their relationship hasn't worked out, and hold anger towards the therapist for this. Therefore, it's natural for the odd bad review - it isn't always representative of the therapist's skills, just the client who didn't get their ideal outcome (most often due to their partner wanting a different outcome). Either way, I have no hesitations recommending Catherine, Emma, Francesco and Marlena. We have collaboratively worked with hundreds of couples together, and we consistently get exceptional feedback for their therapists. They are a valued members of The Hart Centre Melbourne and will continue to be so.
