Supporting you to repair and rejuvenate your relationships, intimacy, sex and love — all from the comfort of your own home.
Ready to leave behind the nagging, tension and arguments — and create the loving, harmonious partnership you've always wanted?
Online couples counselling Australia is your chance to strengthen and improve your relationship with yourself and your partner — no matter where you live across the country. Held remotely via Zoom, choose from individual counselling or joint couples therapy sessions with your partner.
Perhaps you're experiencing differences in sexual desire, resentment build-up, the pressures of parenting or broken trust.
I'm Nicole Mathieson, a qualified couples therapist, trauma-informed counsellor and author — and I can help.
Most couples tend to need help reconnecting, so that's where we start with online couples therapy Australia: with a simple, practical tool to help you two communicate better.
Then, I help you both get in touch with the deeper needs beneath your relationship hurt, with curiosity and empathy for one another.
From this place of self-compassion and self-awareness, we can rebuild the relationship you've always wanted — with the person already standing beside you.
Online couples counselling Australia is for you if:
- Your relationship feels disconnected, numb or tumultuous.
- You've lost your libido, passion or attraction, or are experiencing conflict over differences in desire levels.
- You're feeling the strain of major life changes, such as parenting, grief, broken trust, financial hardship, career shifts or perimenopause.
- You want to stop feeling angry, resentful and sensitive, and be able to share your needs without conflict.
- You need support and guidance while looking for love or navigating a break-up.
- You want to feel more connected to your true self and finally love who you really are.
- You're both willing to try, learn, accept responsibility and grow.
I can teach you practical ways of cultivating a deeper understanding of one another, so you can safely navigate difficult conversations, trust there will always be repair after conflict, and find deep reconnection.
As an experienced online counsellor in Australia, I draw from a wide therapeutic toolkit:
My relationship with my husband is deepening and we are a lot closer. I feel that I also have a better relationship with my children too, because I have a better relationship with myself since working with Nicole.

I highly recommend Nicole. She really helped me deepen my relationship with my partner and connect with my vision for our future together. She is a wonderful listener who offers profound guidance.

Improvements I often see after couples take part in relationship counselling online:
Many couples notice positive changes within six to eight sessions of relationship counselling online Australia. As you grow your understanding of one another, you develop skills to better communicate, de-escalate tricky situations and navigate challenges with less conflict.
Common benefits include:
- Greater awareness of your relationship patterns
- Clearer, more open communication around needs and emotions
- Stronger emotional and physical intimacy
- Healthier boundaries and connection rituals
- Reduced resentment and healed attachment wounds
- Increased trust, security and overall happiness
- Expanded sexual intimacy
I work with all types of people and relationships — heterosexual, poly, same-sex, trans, neurodivergent, long-term or in the honeymoon phase.
I regularly work with people and couples who:
- Are struggling with fertility or the transition into parenthood
- Have parenting differences or difficulties
- Have libido and desire differences
- Struggle to communicate without conflict or are stuck in avoidant patterns
- Are preparing for marriage or other major commitments and want to set up healthy foundations
- Are neurodivergent (autism / ADHD)

Couple Counselling 7-Session Starter Pack
Online via Zoom
Couple therapy requires an ongoing commitment and I want you to have realistic expectations. So, when booking your first couples session, I will encourage you to also schedule an individual session each plus at least another four couples sessions, ideally held fortnightly.
This provides consistency, builds trust and supports steady progress, helping you work through deeper issues gradually and reducing the likelihood of stopping prematurely when challenges arise.
We have been seeing Nicole for a couple of years now. Initially in crisis, and now for ‘maintenance’. We both explain Nicole to our friends as our calm, independent third party – there to listen to our concerns and guide us in the right direction, without judgement and with this ability to make us think differently about our situation. We always feel so connected after our sessions with Nicole and think it’s very beneficial for couples to have this safe space to have difficult conversations (that somehow don’t seem so difficult when you know there is a third party to help guide where needed).

Relationships can be a beautiful catalyst for personal growth — as I have personally experienced in my own 28-year marriage.
Like any marriage, my husband and I have experienced ups and downs. The fact we're still happily together is not by chance. It is only since I started taking responsibility for my part in the relationship that things have felt better.
- My expectations and ideals have been deeply challenged and some smashed to pieces, so I could recognise this relationship as loving and beautiful.
- I have learned to be patient, as he has a different rhythm to me.
- I have learned to respect, admire and value his parenting of our two kids, which is different to mine.
- I have become less reactive and sensitive when we are in our "dance" (triggered).
- I have become really good at inviting deepening conversations and repair.
Relationships take work, but with the right support, they can be stronger and more fulfilling.
If you're ready to break old patterns and creating last change, I’d love to help.
