Sessions for Couples
Relationships often bring both challenges and opportunities, and many couples choose to explore these together through structured sessions. Bright Day Psychology in Hervey Bay offers couples counselling as part of its adult therapy services.
Our psychologist facilitates conversations between partners in a way that allows both individuals to be present in the process. Sessions are available by private booking and can be arranged to fit referral pathways where relevant. Whether couples are looking to address specific concerns or simply want time set aside for structured communication, we provide space for two people to attend together.
To book an appointment, please call (07) 4194 6271.
How Couples Counselling Works
When attending couples counselling, both partners meet with our psychologist in a shared session. We guide the process by asking questions, supporting discussion and keeping the structure consistent from start to finish. Each couple’s circumstances are different, so the focus of sessions may vary depending on what the pair brings into the room.
Appointments are available at different times of the week and can be scheduled by phone or with a referral where appropriate. Couples attending may use this space to discuss communication, explore perspectives or address practical matters together. We aim to create clarity in how sessions are conducted, giving couples a consistent structure to work within.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Medicare cover couples counselling?
Medicare rebates in Australia are typically connected to individual mental health services, rather than couples counselling. This means that most couples counselling appointments are privately funded, unless structured under a referral that fits Medicare’s requirements. Some people may also access sessions through employee assistance programs, private health insurance or other arrangements depending on their eligibility and circumstances.
How do you prepare for couples counselling?
Preparing for couples counselling usually involves discussing with your partner why you want to attend and what topics you may wish to raise. Some couples make notes beforehand to help organise their thoughts. Others prefer to arrive without a set plan and follow the psychologist’s guidance. Preparation is flexible and depends on each couple’s preferences.
What happens in the first couples counselling session?
In a first couples counselling session, a psychologist generally begins by asking both partners about their reasons for attending. The session may involve each person sharing perspectives and outlining topics of concern. The psychologist explains how sessions will be structured, including length, format and confidentiality. This initial appointment often sets the foundation for how future sessions will proceed.
