If you have been searching for couples counselling in Adelaide, you have already taken the bravest step: recognising that your relationship is worth investing in.
At Focus on Relationships, you will be guided by Jane Lewis, an Integrative Relationship Practitioner, and Sheila Eime, a couples counsellor with more than forty years of experience. Working together since 1999, they are among the most experienced couples facilitators in Australia.
Over the years, they have helped hundreds of couples move from feeling stuck, disconnected and frustrated to feeling closer, more understood and more hopeful about their future together.
Why couples come to us
Most couples do not fall out of love. They fall out of practice. Over time, work, children and daily stress wear down the way you talk and listen to each other, and the closeness quietly fades.
So many people believe the chemistry has gone, when really it is the communication that has slipped. The good news is that communication can be learned, and when it improves, the warmth comes back.
Communicating without blame or argument
Feeling truly heard and understood
Rebuilding closeness and intimacy
Navigating a hard patch or a loss of connection
Creating habits that keep you close for good
A different kind of couples counselling
Traditional counselling often means an hour a week, in an office, for months. Our approach is different, and many couples find it works faster and lasts longer.
Instead of fitting your relationship into a weekly appointment, you step out of everyday life completely and focus on each other, with expert guidance and the support of other couples walking the same path.
The result is real change you can feel by the end of a weekend, not after a year of sessions.
Three ways to begin
Choose the path that fits your life right now. Both are guided by Jane and Sheila with the same warmth and expertise.

Free no obligation
You will be in caring, non-judgmental hands
Whatever is happening in your relationship, you will never be judged here. Jane and Sheila create a safe, warm and completely confidential space where both of you can speak openly and feel heard.
Whether your relationship is mostly good and you want it to be even better, or you are going through a genuinely hard time, you are welcome, and you are in good hands.
