Feeling Stuck in Your Relationship?

You're Not Alone - And There's a Way Forward

All relationships have ups and downs, but when issues remain unresolved, resentment can build and drive a wedge between you. If attempts to repair only lead to more conflict, things are unlikely to improve on their own – it’s time to get professional help.

If you’re feeling disconnected, hurt, betrayed, frustrated, or overwhelmed in your relationship – you’re in the right place.

I understand the struggles couples face and how painful these struggles can be. Maybe you’ve tried going it alone in the past, or seeking help in some way, but found yourself right back where you started.

Here’s the thing, seeing a couples counsellor like me is an act of self-care – for you and your relationship. When you take care of yourself, you’re in a much better place to heal, grow, and reconnect with your partner. Embrace this concept and give yourself the support you need to give your relationship the best chance to survive, and thrive.

Do your conversations spiral into a yelling match, followed by the cold shoulder?

Communication is one of the biggest challenges in relationships, and if conflict is left to fester, it erodes your connection and does real damage to your relationship
Whether you’re stuck in constant arguments, feeling unheard, dealing with misunderstandings, or struggling with control issues, couples counselling can help break the cycle.

Work with me and discover a whole new way of communicating – one built on kindness, compassion, and mutual respect.

Perhaps the trust has been broken, and you’re feeling heartbroken, alone and distant in your relationship?

If you’re struggling with the devastating impact of infidelity, couples counselling offers a safe space to process betrayal, and explore the possibility of forgiveness and ways to rebuild trust.

Healing from deep wounds like betrayal takes time, but with the right support, you can nurture your relationship make it even stronger than before.

Understand there is hope, and a pathway forward, no matter where you’re starting from.

My partner and I were in a very dark place before we met Jacqui, I was not confident we could find a way back. I’m so grateful to have found Jacqui. With her support, professionalism and the arsenal of tools she has provided for us, our relationship is now better than it has been for a decade.

I am so glad that we chose Jacqueline to be our relationship counsellor. Just when it seemed to my wife and I that there was no way forward together, thankfully one of the few things that we agreed upon was choosing Jacqueline from all of the counselling services that we could see online. The Save My Marriage program did exactly that for us. We are communicating like we never had in the past, and we have restored intimacy, love, and trust to our relationship. I feel we are on solid foundations now, and we have both learned to forgive, and how to become better partners.
Dr Janine ArnoldClient Review
Working with Jacqui was very rewarding for me. I am now in control of my life, and I can believe in myself again. I was able to develop an excellent rapport with Jacqui, I would definitely recommend her to others.

Jacqueline was highly professional, experienced, caring, positive and knowledgeable in my experience. She provided easy to follow tools and advice to both of us for communicating in a better way to improve our relationship, and space to do so while being considerate of our emotional well-being too. It feels scary and emotional at times but also worth doing the work, I valued her honesty and intent on a good outcome, and trust in her abilities to help couples during difficult times in their relationship.
Rachael CollinsClient Review
I would highly recommend Jacqui. Her knowledge and tools helped us mend and save our marriage when we were stuck and thought there was little hope of recovering. We committed to her step by step program that we worked through together; Which taught us to communicate and work through our issues.

Most Excellent!
ConfidentialClient Review
We came in feeling hopeless and preparing for divorce and left with hope.
Kate KoopmansClient Review
I went off the tracks a few times and nearly crashed but with the tools provided in the program, I used those to avoid crashing and steered my way back onto the track.
ConfidentialClient Review
By the 12th appointment it was really clear why Jacqui structures the program the way she has. We did the majority of our sessions via Zoom calls, this worked really well for us with young kids and having a distance to travel to get to Bendigo. The program is very confronting and you learn a lot about yourself and your partner, but Jacqui is very supportive and adds cheeky humour to lighten the mood along the way. Our marriage is still not perfect, but we are getting there and the tools and techniques we learnt throughout the program will be with us for life. For this, I thank you Jacqui and would recommend you to anyone of any age.

A FClient Feedback
"Our communication has been great! Conversations have been enjoyable and [husband] is really enjoying the deep breathing exercises and meditation."
ConfidentialClient Feedback
"I think we are making progress as we have talked a lot more openly about this recent issue and moved on a lot quicker than we would have in the past. I had a lot of self awareness around my responses and reactions and have not punished him for the mistake. I’m feeling much better this morning."
A DClient Feedback
"Thank goodness I found you. You have done more for me than any counsellor I’ve ever been to before."
