The weekly reading material was extensive and provided the opportunity for thorough exploration of theory and practice, helping to extend both my theoretical knowledge, as well as assisting in utilising this in my therapeutic work with couples. The course provided excellent opportunities for reflection and clarification of the theories and techniques that were covered. The presenters themselves were thoughtful, energetic and supportive.'

• 'The Couples Therapy Specialist Program at Relationships Australia Victoria has been, without a doubt, the best investment I’ve made in my professional development. The comprehensive training, paired with the supportive internship, gave me the confidence, structure, and professionalism I needed to become a successful couples therapist. This program was not only life-changing in my career, but it also provided deep personal insights that continue to shape me.

  Before enrolling, I’d been told I could conduct couples therapy with just a general counselling qualification; however, I quickly realised how specialised this field truly is. Couples therapy demands a unique skill set and a level of expertise that this program expertly provided. The supervisors who guided my work were exceptional, bringing with them extensive experience, wisdom, and insight, which enriched my understanding and approach to this complex area.

  For anyone considering a career in couples therapy, I couldn’t recommend this course more. It’s the most in-depth, practical training I’ve ever encountered and has truly set me up for a fulfilling and successful career in this specialised field.' - Inbal Sofer, Masters Degree of Counselling at Swinburne University.
