Insurance & Rebates

do you offer online sessions?

Yes, absolutely. Online therapy is available for couples and individuals across Australia. All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection, and a willingness to engage. Many couples find online sessions just as effective and more convenient for busy schedules or remote locations.

How do i book an appointment? 

You can book directly via the online booking page — it's simple and secure. If you’re unsure where to start or have a few questions before booking, feel free to reach out via email at info@freedomcouplecounselling.com. I’m happy to guide you.

how many sessions will we need?

Every couple is different. Some find clarity after just a few sessions, while others choose to work together over several months. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and goals to make sure therapy is working for you. I encourage couples to commit to a few initial sessions to build trust and momentum.

is everything we share confidential?

Yes – confidentiality is a foundation of the therapeutic relationship. What you share in sessions is treated with the utmost respect and privacy. There are a few rare exceptions where I’m legally required to break confidentiality (e.g., if there is a risk of harm to you or others), and I’ll explain this clearly in our first session.

what if my partner is hesitant about counselling?

That’s okay – it’s not uncommon for one partner to feel unsure. I suggest starting with an open, non-blaming conversation about why you think it could be helpful. If your partner is still unsure, you’re welcome to attend a session on your own first. Often, one person’s commitment to growth is enough to start shifting the dynamic.

what is your cancellation policy?

I kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. Late cancellations or missed appointments will incur the full session fee.

can you assist with legal and court proceedings?

Freedom Couple Counselling does not provide reports, assessments, or expert testimony for legal or court matters, including custody disputes or family court proceedings. Couples therapy is not a forensic or investigative process, and session notes are not intended for legal use. If your situation involves legal complexities, I may refer you to appropriate legal or specialist support services.

"We were referred to Jill through a friend. She was an absolute game changer! As a couple with 3 young kids. We have learnt a new way of working as a team and respecting our differences as parents."

"My wife had been asking me to try couples counselling for a long time. I was very reluctant to try counselling as the concept of sitting in a room talking to a stranger about our issues felt very uncomfortable to me. Jill really made us feel comfortable from that first session. She helped us with tools and strategies to manage our conflict and communication. It felt great feeling close to my wife again after such a long time."

Caitlyn & Emmanuel

"I had been looking for a black therapist for a very long time. I felt really seen and understood in my individual sessions when I was going through a really difficult time. I’m so grateful!"

"Me and my partner were still in a good place in our relationship. But with the stress of running a business and raising kids we had found ourselves slowly drifting apart. I am so glad that we made the decision to come for relationship therapy. Jill, you have helped to breathe new life into our relationship. Thank you!"

4/5

Tatum & Avery

"It was refreshing to have therapy sessions that incorporated our cultural identity and included a space that we could explore our faith. We left feeling stronger as a couple. A highlight was feeling equipped with new tools to help us stay grounded in situations that used to cause lots of anxiety in our relationship."
