Relationship & Marriage Counselling Wollongong

We have rooms in Fairy Meadow just north of the city, Corrimal a little further up the coast, and Kiama for the southern Illawarra. Between the three, most of the region is within an easy drive – and secure online sessions cover everywhere else.

Fees vary by practitioner and are shown on their profile before you book, and there is no separate charge for our matching service. Full details are on our Fees and Rebates page.

It depends on your fund, your level of cover and the practitioner you see – some private health extras cover counselling with eligible providers. Medicare rebates generally apply to individual sessions with a psychologist under a mental health care plan rather than couples sessions. Check your fund, and see our Fees and Rebates page for how it works.

You don’t have to work it out alone – that’s what HartMatch is for. Tell us what’s happening, your schedule and any preferences, and we match you with the Illawarra therapist best placed to help. It’s backed by our HartMatch Guarantee: if the first match isn’t right, we rematch you and cover the next session.

Some of our Illawarra practitioners hold after-hours slots, and online sessions open up even more times. Tell us your availability when you enquire and it becomes part of the match.

You’re far from alone – it’s one of the most common pressures on Illawarra couples, and often part of why they come. Evening and online sessions mean the commuting partner doesn’t have to burn leave to attend, and if it’s easier, you can even attend together online from different locations.

Usually within a week. Once you enquire, we come back to you with a matched practitioner rather than putting you on a waitlist, and book you directly with them.

Your therapist spends the first session understanding your relationship – how you got here, what each of you wants, and where the friction lives. There’s no taking sides and no verdicts. You’ll leave with a sense of how the work will unfold and usually something practical to take home.

No – it’s usually a sign you’re taking the relationship seriously while there’s still plenty to work with. Most couples wait years longer than they should. Coming in earlier simply means the patterns are easier to shift.

Yes – our Kiama rooms serve Shellharbour, Gerringong and the southern Illawarra, and they’re also the natural pick for couples coming up from the South Coast. If the drive is still the obstacle, online sessions with the same certified therapists work just as well.
