Couples Counselling for Regional Victoria Made Easy
Work with Jacqui online, or travel to McCrae for a private Couples Counselling Retreat
Support From Wherever You Are
Hi, I’m Jacqui.
I work with couples from across Victoria and Australia, including regional areas like Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong, as well as Melbourne’s outer suburbs.
I’m now based in McCrae on the Mornington Peninsula, but don’t let distance be a barrier to getting specialist support for your relationship.
Many couples from regional Victoria choose to work with me in one of two ways:
You can connect online from home using Zoom, or you can travel to McCrae for a private in-person couples counselling retreat.
Both options provide a calm, safe space for us to talk through what has been happening, and begin taking practical steps forward.
Option 1: Online Couples Counselling
Expert Relationship Support From the Comfort of Home
Online couples counselling is a popular and convenient option if you live outside Melbourne or further away from the Mornington Peninsula.
You can meet with me from the comfort of your own home, without the stress of travel, traffic, accommodation, or time away from work and family responsibilities.
Online sessions work well for busy couples and parents who are:
- Living in regional or rural Victoria and want specialist couples counselling support.
- Busy with work or business commitments.
- Supporting children, or have family to consider.
- Comfortable getting support from home.
Sessions are held by Zoom and are just as effective as in-person sessions.
Online Couples Counselling is a practical and effective way to begin repairing your relationship, and working through what’s really been going on beneath the surface.
Option 2: Couples Counselling Retreat
In-Person Couples Counselling at our Private McCrae Location
For couples who want a more immersive experience, my Couples Counselling Retreat is an ideal option.
This is sometimes called intensive marriage counselling or a couples intensive. Instead of spreading the work out over many separate sessions, you set aside dedicated time to focus deeply on your relationship.
Retreats are a great option if you’re travelling from regional Victoria and make the trip worthwhile.
Over two to three days, we work together in a calm and private setting to repair your relationship, rebuild trust, and strengthen your connection.
McCrae is a relaxing coastal destination, offering the perfect setting to rekindle your connection with professional support while spending quality time together.
Located just 2.5 hours from Bendigo and Ballarat, and even less if you’re travelling from Geelong, or smaller towns and suburbs around Melbourne, the retreat offers a convenient getaway to focus on your relationship and turn things around.
Weekend appointments are available. Reach out to discuss what’s been happening in your relationship, and to check if a retreat is the right fit for you.
No Barrier for Regional Victorians
Couples from the country can start Couples Counselling online, or see Jacqui in-person at her private McCrae location on the Mornington Peninsula.
