Enrich Relationships

Supporting couples to rebuild and restore

A fully qualified and accredited counsellor in Richmond, Hawthorn, Fitzroy North, South Yarra, Prahran and surrounding areas of eastern Melbourne

Like everything in life, nothing stays the same.  Most couples at various stages of their relationships struggle with conflict or disharmony.  These issues can sometimes be resolved but often for many reasons, the relationship deteriorates, and the feelings of closeness that you once experienced seem to be disappearing day by day.  Over time, you can start to move in different directions and what was once a connection slowly becomes a disconnection – a fork in the road.  

Enrich relationships is a positive and caring marriage and couples counselling service committed to helping couples find a way back to a happier and better life.  Whether you are a couple in crisis or you simply need some direction, I will assist you in finding a way towards a better relationship with your partner.  

About me

Hi I’m Nicki Weekley. We all think that through perseverance, our relationship will withstand the test of time. However it often gets to a point where nothing is working and life is no longer easy or workable. Relationship therapy can be a wonderful resource to help guide you through this time.

Through years of working in private industry and community settings, the past ten years I have been working in private practice providing relationship counselling both online and in person. Through dealing with hundreds of couples, I understand the complexity of personal challenges and relationship difficulties.

How counselling works

Common reasons for seeking help may include:

Each person is unique and I believe that this is the basis of counselling. Clients are treated as individuals who have their own set of circumstances and life stories.

I will help you gain a better understanding of yourself and others close to you which can help you find a more manageable way forward. Ultimately, you are striving to connect with those close to you and find fulfilment in your life.
