Jacqueline Hogan Couples Counsellor - Mornington Peninsula

Hi, I’m Jacqui.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve helped hundreds of couples work through painful relationship challenges, rebuild connection and find a way forward.

My Save My Marriage Program offers a structured, supportive way to repair, reconnect and strengthen your relationship.

Depending on what matters most to you both, we can work on areas including:

  • Infidelity, betrayal and rebuilding trust
  • Communication breakdowns, defensiveness and unhelpful patterns
  • Long-term disconnection and growing apart
  • Managing stress, competing priorities and everyday pressures
  • Deepening intimacy, connection and shared enjoyment

So whether you’re dealing with the heartbreak of infidelity, or simply feeling the distance that’s grown between you over the years, remember, it doesn’t have to stay this way.

If you’re both willing to try, there’s a real path forward. And for committed couples, meaningful, lasting change is possible.

Is Your Relationship Under Strain or at Breaking Point?

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in your relationship?

You don’t have to face this painful time on your own. Every relationship encounters challenges, but when these feelings persist, additional support and guidance can make all the difference.

The Challenges You Face

It’s natural for relationships to hit rough patches. But when things aren’t getting better on their own, it’s time to get support.

You may be experiencing:

  • Constant Arguments: Conflict that spirals out of control, leaving you feeling unheard and exhausted.
  • Broken Trust: Betrayals or infidelity that have left you devastated and uncertain about the future.
  • Feeling Distant: Negative thoughts, resentment, and emotional disconnection that have created walls instead of bridges.
  • Communication Breakdowns: Misunderstandings or patterns of criticism and defensiveness. Or perhaps you or your partner withdraw to avoid conflict, but the silence and unresolved issues have created distance between you.
  • Unrelenting Stress: Financial pressures, work challenges, and family responsibilities that pile on, leaving little time for intimacy or connection.

These struggles are tough, but they don’t have to be the end of your story.

I guide couples through these challenges every day as part of my Save My Marriage Program, and I’ve seen first-hand how real, lasting change is possible.

For Couples Seeking Repair & Renewal

I work with couples at different stages of their relationship. Some are navigating a crisis, broken trust or the fear of separation. Others want to improve communication, feel closer, manage everyday pressures or bring fresh energy into their relationship.

Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you both, creating opportunities for greater understanding, connection and a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.

Repair & Revitalise Your Relationship

Through compassionate and effective couples therapy, we’ll create a space for healing, understanding, and growth.

Every couple is different, and your priorities will help shape our work together.

Depending on what matters most to you both, we may focus on:

  • A New Way to Communicate: Learn how to de-escalate conflict, manage emotions, and truly listen to each other. Together, we’ll replace old patterns of criticism and defensiveness with meaningful conversations built on respect and understanding.
  • Restoring Trust and finding Forgiveness: Betrayal and broken trust can make you feel like there’s nowhere to turn, but moving forward and finding forgiveness is possible. We’ll work to process the grief, and create new standards of trust, laying the foundation for forgiveness, healing and empathy.
  • Deepening Your Connection: Discover your shared values, create new rituals of connection, and build a vision for a future you can both look forward to. Feel heard, supported, and truly valued by your partner again.
  • Releasing Resentment: Let go of the negativity weighing down your relationship. By inviting positive sentiment and kindness into your daily lives, you’ll begin to see your partner in a whole new light. Feel cherished, respected, and truly loved.
  • Strengthen Your Connection
    Together, we’ll work to reduce stress and create healthy habits and balance in your relationship. Whether it’s setting new, simple boundaries or practising kindness and compassion more often, you’ll build a thriving relationship that’s resilient to life’s challenges.
  • Creating Fulfilment and Meaning Together
    A healthy relationship is one where both partners feel seen, supported, and fulfilled. Through self-awareness and relational growth, you’ll craft a more meaningful life direction and build a rewarding relationship that meets both of your needs.

Attending Jacqueline Hogan's "Save Our Marriage" retreat was a truly transformative experience for my partner and me. We were at a critical point in our relationship, but Jacqueline's compassionate and insightful approach provided us with the tools and perspective we needed to reconnect. She created a safe space for open communication, allowing us to address our challenges and rediscover the love that brought us together. We left the retreat feeling more connected and with a clear path forward. I highly recommend this retreat to any couple looking to strengthen their relationship and create a marriage 2.0!

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.

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 LClient Feedback
"Thank you so much for the affirmation, I love it and will use it everyday from now on... With her and yourself in my corner, I’m sure I can keep progressing to be the person I want to be and that my family deserve. Thanks again Jacqui, you’re a legend."
A DClient Feedback
"Thank goodness I found you. You have done more for me than any counsellor I’ve ever been to before."
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."
