Why choose Robyn Lingard?

Certified Gottman Couples Therapist: For couples wanting to strengthen their relationship. I am one of a select group of therapists trained and examined by the world renowned Gottman Institute in evidence-based couples therapy.

Access to Gottman Love Lab: I am one of the few clinicians in Australia authorized to offer couples a relationship assessment via the “Love Lab” – both clinical questionnaire and video evaluation. This more comprehensive assessment pinpoints the areas in which couples can achieve their greatest growth.

Discernment Counsellor: For couples where you are contemplating divorce but haven’t made a final decision. It is especially useful for couples where one person is uncertain about continuing the marriage, while the other is more invested in trying to make the marriage work..

Experienced Presenter: I frequently present to my peers and the general public – the ME/CFS Society SA; and the Australasia Gottman Institute Retreat for Certified Therapists.

Evidence-Based Approach: My approach to relationship and individual counselling is grounded in evidence-based methods, ensuring I provide current, effective, research-backed support. For example, Gottman research into stable relationships has been conducted over 50 years with 75 000 couples.

Curious Researcher: My own research into living with chronic illness has been internationally published and continued. In the early 2020’s, I also participated in two Gottman Institute studies around affair recovery and effectiveness of couples therapy.

I care: most importantly, I am a human being like you, surfing the highs and lows of life. And I believe we are all trying to do our best amid the less than ideal circumstances that life can sometimes bring across our paths.

Life can be tough

Anxiety, depression and relationship tensions are common to us all.

At such times, you may feel overwhelmed and unable to cope. You may also have the same reoccurring thoughts and repeat similar behaviours, without feeling better, without becoming any closer to the person you long to be.

You are not alone

During such times, it is important to remember: you are not alone, you have choices, you have power, and there is hope.

Counselling can help better understand yourself and your problems, enrich your relationships, manage your life in a more fulfilling way and bring about personal and spiritual growth.

Move forward with courage

In arranging an appointment, you willnhave the opportunity to talk about whatever is troubling you. Each session will offer you a confidential and safe place to explore sensitive and important issues.

We will work together so you can gain insights into your challenges, you can draw on your own strengths, you can approach your life in a fresh way.
