Online Premarriage Counselling
Online Pre-Marriage Counselling:
Build Your Future Together From Anywhere
Marriage is one of life’s most meaningful commitments - but strong relationships don’t just happen by chance. They’re built with intention, understanding, and the right tools for navigating challenges. At Lighthouse Relationships, our Online Pre-Marriage Counselling service helps you and your partner create a solid foundation for a life together, wherever you are in Australia or beyond.
Why Telehealth Pre-Marriage Counselling Works for Modern Couples
Today’s couples often face unique pressures - e.g. work commitments, family responsibilities, long-distance living. The stress of planning a wedding (or even a pretty solid ‘elope-ment!’) is more than enough, without adding in the need to physically travel to your pre-marriage counsellor. That’s one reason online pre-marriage counselling is such a powerful tool. It removes the barriers of travel and location, letting you focus on your relationship in an environment where you both feel at ease.
In our secure video sessions, you’ll have the space to explore your expectations, strengths, and areas for growth. Research consistently shows that couples who invest in structured pre-marriage support report stronger communication, higher relationship satisfaction, and better conflict-management skills in the years ahead.
What’s Included in Your Online Pre-Marriage Experience?
Every couple is unique - and so is our approach. In your program, you’ll receive:
A comprehensive, evidence-based relationship assessment (Prepare/Enrich or Gottman Method tools)
Live video sessions with an experienced couples counsellor
Practical strategies to strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and set shared goals
Tailored exercises and resources you can work on between sessions
The option to choose between a half-day intensive or weekly/fortnightly sessions
A completion certificate — ideal if your wedding venue, celebrant, or church requires proof of pre-marriage counselling

Yes, definitely! Research shows online couples counselling (including online relationship therapy via telehealth) is just as effective as face-to-face sessions. The same ingredients for success - trust, openness, and skilled guidance from your relationship therapist online - apply.
Many couples even prefer it, finding it easier to relax and open up from the comfort of their own home. Plus, marriage counselling online conveniently fits around busy schedules.
Still have questions about whether it's the right fit for you? We’re happy to discuss your needs.

Yes, absolutely. We utilise encrypted, professional-grade video conferencing platforms specifically designed for telehealth therapy to ensure the complete confidentiality and privacy of all your online couples counselling and online relationship therapy sessions.

Our standard online sessions, whether it's for online couples therapy, marriage counselling online, or general telehealth therapy, are usually 50-60 minutes long. This is typically the same length as an in-person therapy session. If you feel a bit more time would be helpful in certain sessions, we can certainly discuss arranging a longer appointment if that's beneficial for you.

This is a completely normal and common concern. We encourage an open and honest discussion about any apprehensions before commencing online couples therapy, marriage counselling online, or any form of telehealth therapy.
