COUPLES THERAPY
Amit also provides relationship and marriage counselling to couples using Gottman Method Couples Therapy. The Gottman Method is based on 40 years of psychological research designed to help couples learn new skills to strengthen their relationship, whether they’ve been together for months or decades.
Some of the skills you will have the opportunity to learn include:
How Does Gottman Method Couples Therapy Work?
Gottman Method Couples Therapy involves an Assessment Phase that is conducted over 4 sessions within a 2 week period followed by a Treatment Phase. The Assessment Phase is very important as it helps the Psychologist gain a thorough understanding of your presenting issues, along with both your individual history and your history as a couple. This in turn enables the Psychologist to know the specific areas to focus on to help you improve your relationship.
How Does The Assessment Phase Work?
The first session involves the two of you attending a 50 minute session together to outline the current issues along with some background about your relationship. After the first session is complete, you will be emailed a website link to complete a comprehensive and confidential online questionnaire called “The Gottman Relationship Checkup” developed by the Gottman Institute which you both complete separately at your own leisure. The results are then automatically emailed to Amit. This is followed up as soon as possible with individual 50 minute sessions with each of you separately. In the fourth session, we all meet back together for a 50 minute feedback and planning session to discuss the results of the assessment and questionnaire and plan the way forward with treatment. Amit will try to complete this whole process for couples within a week or two so that the treatment phase of the therapy can begin.
How Does the Treatment Phase Work?
The treatment phase is specially tailored to your individual needs as a couple. Amit does not follow a script with therapy but focuses on issues identified by the two of you and the issues identified during the assessment phase. Treatment is about the two of you learning whole new ways of interacting, having conversations and resolving conflict. You will also learn about the behaviours you are doing that are predictive of divorce and relationship issues, and learn alternative ways of responding that will strengthen your bond and bring you closer to each other. Research demonstrates that intensity in treatment generally results in more rapid and more sustainable change particularly early in treatment. In the beginning, sessions are twice weekly or weekly, but after several treatment sessions, and when you feel your relationship is improving, appointments can be spaced further apart.
Fees
When you call to book your first session, the Admin Team will ask you to book in for 4 sessions within a two-week period to secure your session times to conduct the Assessment Phase. Medicare does not provide rebates for Couples Therapy. If you have private health insurance, it is recommended you check with your insurer as you may be eligible for rebates.
Some of the skills you will have the opportunity to learn include:
- Keeping conflict discussions calm and constructive

- Transforming inevitable relationship conflicts so you can build bridges between the two of you
- Repairing past hurts
- Strengthening your friendship and deepening your understanding of one another
- Deepening respect, affection and closeness to one another
- Enhancing your intimacy and sense of connectedness
