I’m sharing a de-identified story from my Perth practice about a FIFO couple who rebuilt trust after repeated separations. We used evidence-based tools—structured check-ins, emotion-focused exercises, and paced exposure to difficult conversations—so they could reconnect without feeling overwhelmed. Over 12 sessions they reported clearer communication, fewer escalations and a growing sense of safety at home. If you’re in Perth WA and feeling the strain of FIFO cycles, you don’t have to fix it alone.

I help Perth couples rebuild trust and manage FIFO separation with a clear, evidence-based plan. It starts with your Relationship Health Assessment so we know what to measure and where to focus. Each session is solution-focused: set practical goals, try small changes between meetings, review progress, and adjust what isn’t working. You can expect concrete tools for communication, strategies to reduce distance when you’re apart, and steady steps toward stronger connection. Book a consult to see how this approach fits you — let’s take the next step together. https://wix.to/PRWIIlx

I see how small habits build tension — and how one simple shift can bring you back. In this two-frame scene from Perth life (especially for FIFO couples), watch a quick exchange escalate, then try a short, evidence-based technique I use with clients to de-escalate and reconnect. It’s practical, takes minutes, and fits busy schedules. I’ve worked clinically for 10 years supporting couples across Perth WA, Australia — you don’t have to carry this alone.

It’s January, and the world is loudly insisting you become a “new you”.New gym. New diet. New calendar. New goals.And meanwhile, your relationship is doing what it often does after the festive season: limping into the new year with an invisible backpack full of old resentments, unsaid things, ...

Alcohol’s impact on relationships isn’t about social use.
It’s about when alcohol becomes part of someone’s self-medication protocol. At that point, it quietly erodes emotional presence, accountability, and safety. Intimacy thins. Repair gets avoided. Conversations stay shallow or turn volatile.

The same caution applies to many psychiatric medications when they’re relied on to numb rather than support healing. They can dull reactivity, yes, but they can also dampen connection, libido, and emotional availability when not carefully reviewed.

Healthy relationships need clarity, consistency, and emotional access. Anything that routinely blunts those capacities will shape the bond, whether we name it or not.

Sometimes it’s not about love or connection at all — it’s about a hit.
A quick dopamine surge that feels like escape, excitement, or validation.

Many men pursue extra-marital activity not because the relationship lacks meaning, but because they haven’t learned to name what’s really missing: emotional attunement, safety to be known without performance, and intimacy that goes deeper than novelty.

That dopamine rush isn’t the issue — it’s a false signal. It creates a sense of aliveness, not fulfilment. Strong relationships don’t fail due to a lack of sparks; they falter when vulnerability hasn’t been learned and connection hasn’t been practised.

Feeling alive isn’t the same as feeling seen.
Until that difference is understood, many will keep confusing the two.

As we step into a new year here in Perth, I notice a familiar pattern in my practice. January is often the month when couples finally pause, take a breath, and ask the question they’ve been carrying quietly for a long time: “Can we make this better?”If you’re searching for marriage counselli...
