Planning a wedding is joyful — preparing for marriage matters even more. We’ve created the Comprehensive Premarital Foundations Workbook to help you and your partner slow down, ask the important questions, and build clear, practical plans together.

This workbook guides conversations about communication, conflict and repair, money, family boundaries, intimacy, and future planning. It gives prompts, reflection space, and simple steps to turn insight into action — like creating your first household budget or agreeing a pause rule for heated talks.

At Redland’s Counselling Service we believe preparation builds understanding and trust. If you’re engaged and want a thoughtful, evidence-informed way to prepare for married life, this workbook is a gentle place to start.

Tell us: what’s one conversation you’d most like to have before the wedding? We’d love to hear — and we’re here to support you if you want counselling alongside the workbook.

A beautiful wedding can be planned in months. A strong marriage takes more than a run sheet, a guest list, and a seating chart. That is where intentional premarital preparation matters. The engagement season is one of the best times to ask the questions that shape married life: How will money be han...

We created a practical, compassionate tool to help you make sense of life after discovery. The Infidelity Workbook for Healing After an Affair and Finding Clarity is a 61‑page, self‑paced PDF written by Matt, a clinical counsellor with 20+ years’ experience. It doesn’t tell you whether to stay or leave. It doesn’t rush forgiveness. Instead, it offers seven clear stages, plain‑language psychoeducation, grounding tools, communication guides and reflection spaces for both partners.

Use it to stabilise intense feelings, bring structure to conversations, and prepare for more productive therapy sessions. The workbook sits alongside — not instead of — professional support and is designed for individuals and couples working through betrayal with care and dignity.

If you’re in Redlands City or Capalaba and looking for confidential, experienced counselling to support this work, we’re here to help. Learn more and download the workbook: https://wix.to/71Q8PSJ

Infidelity shatters more than trust — it can shatter the ground someone thought they were standing on. After discovery, life often becomes painfully disorienting.

It is built in the honest conversations that happen before, during, and long after that day.Many couples spend months planning the details of a ceremony, venue, guest list, colours, food, music, and photography. Those details matter, but t...

Healing from trauma doesn't mean forgetting — it means removing the sting so you can remember without pain. In my new guide, “The Journey of EMDR,” I walk you through each of the eight EMDR phases: from preparation and assessment to desensitisation, installation and reevaluation. You’ll learn how EMDR helps your brain process stuck memories and why leading organisations recognise it as an evidence‑based approach.

If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship impacts, or trauma, EMDR can be a compassionate, practical path toward relief. At Redlands Counselling Service in Capalaba, I offer a safe, confidential space and tailored treatment plans to support your recovery.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed after Ekka? Here are three gentle, client-centred steps you can use tonight to settle and reconnect as a family - simple, practical, and rooted in Matt’s approach at our Capalaba practice. 1) Family debrief script: Sit together for 5 minutes; each person shares one high and one hard, no interruptions. 2) Validate without escalating: Say, “I can see that was really tough for you,” then offer a calm choice (“Would you like a hug or some quiet time?”). 3) Home grounding routine: dim lights, breathe together for 3 deep breaths, and do a 2-minute mindful walk around the yard. If you need more guidance, we’re here to help in Capalaba QLD. Visit https://wix.to/n9DHp3O to book or learn more. How did your family manage after Ekka? Share one small win below.
