Dr Karin Du Plessis

Registered Counselor

“Specialising in couples counseling, I use the Gottman Method (Level 3) in working with couples in Australia to build greater intimacy, create a deeper understanding, enhance the fun, and revive the spark. I am also a clinical supervisor and offer supervision to other mental health professionals.”

About Me

I guide couples in Australia to deepen their connections. Using the Gottman Method, I help partners build greater intimacy and understanding. We work together to enhance the fun and revive the spark in your relationship. If you seek to strengthen your bond and navigate challenges, I offer a collaborative space. My aim is for you to feel more connected and joyful, finding practical ways forward.

Approach

Sessions move from curiosity to practical shifts: we map recurring patterns, practise short behavioural experiments and rehearse kinder, clearer ways to ask for what you need. From my Carlton North office or via secure online sessions in English or Afrikaans, meetings are paced to suit busy lives with focused check-ins and small between-session steps. I help couples facing addiction, parenting strains, sexual and transition-related challenges to break blame cycles and try concrete alternatives that build trust. Couples ready for steady, down-to-earth change usually find this approach helpful.
