Relationship Counselling
Why do we love Love?
Because we are wired for connection.
So, it makes sense why we experience difficulties within relationships from time to time and even more so why we’d like to repair them when sh*t gets tough. Commitment has its rewards and its challenges.
When relationships face challenges, seeking support through relationship counselling online can help people reconnect with the values, communication and understanding that originally brought them together.
It’s not just romantic relationships that we sometimes need help with. Non-romantic, platonic, family and other relationships matter too.
Individuals, couples, friends and families can all seek online relationship counselling to help heal fractures and rebuild connection.

How relationship counselling can help you
The aim of relationship counselling is to help people in a rut. If you feel like you are trapped in patterns of conflict that seem to have no resolution in sight and experiencing communication breakdowns we can help problem-solve.
Indigo therapists help individuals, couples, friends and families open up about their thoughts, feelings and behaviours to clarify each person’s point of view and identify perceived problems. (This can feel confronting – but remember, hard conversations are worth having).
Sometimes exploring the relationship history or personal history is important as it can unravel the misunderstandings in communication. This process itself motivates a change in the way each person feels and behaves toward the other.
Nothing is more romantic than being understood.
From here our therapists may:
- Offer new perspectives
- Suggest treatment directions
- Teach new strategies and skills
- Promote understanding and compassion

Frequently Asked Questions
What is relationship counselling?
Relationship counselling is a space where individuals or couples can talk openly with a therapist about what’s happening in their relationship. Through online relationship therapy, you’ll meet with a relationship counsellor via secure video sessions to explore communication patterns, understand each other’s perspectives and work through challenges together. Sometimes all it takes is a safe space and the right guidance to start shifting the dynamic.
How does online relationship therapy work?
Online relationship therapy works much like traditional counselling, just without the commute. You and your partner meet with an online relationship counsellor through a video session from a place where you feel comfortable. Together you’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface, unpack communication patterns and learn practical tools that help you show up differently in your relationship.
Can marriage counselling actually help?
It absolutely can. Many couples find that online marriage counselling creates the space they need to slow down and really hear each other. With the support of an online marriage counsellor, couples can work through conflict, rebuild trust and develop healthier ways of communicating. It’s not about deciding who’s right — it’s about understanding each other better.
When should you consider relationship counselling?
There’s no “perfect” time to start relationship counselling. Some couples reach out when they feel stuck in repeating arguments, while others come to strengthen their relationship before things reach breaking point. If communication feels strained, connection feels distant, or something just isn’t working the way it used to, relationship counselling online can help you explore what’s going on and how to move forward.
Do both partners need to attend relationship counselling?
Not always. While many couples attend sessions together, it’s also possible to start relationship counselling on your own. Individual sessions with an online relationship counsellor can help you understand your own relationship patterns, improve communication and gain clarity about what you want moving forward.
