Your relationship doesn't need to fit a traditional model to deserve understanding and support. Affirming counselling can help you build stronger communication, deeper connection and relationships that reflect your values.

Open relationship counselling in Ballarat and online across Australia

Relationships do not need to follow traditional models to be healthy, fulfilling or meaningful. At Reconnection Counselling & Psychotherapy, we provide open relationship counselling for individuals, couples and relationship networks in Ballarat and across Australia through telehealth. Our approach is affirming, inclusive and grounded in respect for the many ways people choose to build connection, intimacy and partnership.

Whether you are exploring non-monogamy for the first time, navigating challenges within an established relationship structure, or seeking support from a therapist who understands relationship diversity, counselling can provide a space to explore your experiences without judgement or assumptions.

Our approach to alternative relationship counselling is collaborative and affirming, supporting clients to develop relationship structures that work for them rather than conforming to external expectations.

Ethical non-monogamy counselling for diverse relationship structures

Healthy relationships are built on communication, consent, trust and shared understanding. Our ethical non-monogamy counselling services support people engaged in a wide range of relationship structures, helping them navigate challenges while strengthening connection and communication.

We work with individuals and partners involved in:

  • Open relationships
  • Polyamorous relationships
  • Relationship anarchy
  • Swinging relationships
  • Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM)
  • Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM)
  • Multi-partner relationships
  • Exploring alternative relationship structures

As a practice providing non-traditional relationship counselling, we recognise that relationship success is not determined by the structure itself, but by the quality of communication, consent and care within the relationship.

Consensual non-monogamy counselling and relationship support

Navigating multiple relationships or alternative relationship structures can present unique opportunities and challenges. Consensual non-monogamy counselling provides a supportive space to explore concerns, strengthen communication and develop agreements that align with your values and needs.

Common areas explored in therapy include:

  • Relationship agreements and expectations
  • Boundaries and consent
  • Trust and emotional safety
  • Jealousy and insecurity
  • Communication challenges
  • Relationship transitions
  • Managing conflict
  • Building healthy connections

Polyamory counselling and polyamorous relationship therapy

Relationships including or with more than two people often require intentional communication, self-awareness and flexibility. Through polyamory counselling and polyamorous relationship therapy, individuals, couples and relationship networks can explore challenges while strengthening connection and understanding.

Therapy provides a structured environment to explore relationship goals and create sustainable approaches to connection and intimacy.

Sex-positive therapy and kink-aware support in Ballarat

At Reconnection Counselling & Psychotherapy, we understand that sexuality and relationships are deeply personal. Our practice provides sex-positive therapy and kink-aware therapy, creating a respectful and non-judgemental space for clients whose identities, interests or relationships may not fit conventional expectations.

Being kink aware and sex positive means recognising the importance of informed consent, communication and personal autonomy without pathologising diverse expressions of intimacy and connection.

We are committed to providing counselling that respects your values, relationship choices and lived experience.

A relationship-affirming approach

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming
  • Neurodiversity aware
  • Kink aware
  • Sex positive
