Based in Adelaide and available online anywhere

Couples Therapist: Practical, research based skills that help couples strengthen friendship, communicate clearly, manage conflict constructively, and build greater trust, affection, and emotional connection.

Consultant: Providing evidence-based relationship and conflict management strategies that create healthier, more respectful relationships in families, teams, and workplaces.

Family Business Advisor: Supporting multi-generational families, couples in business, and next-generation leaders where family relationships and business dynamics intersect.

Have the conversations that matter most in your family or business started feeling tense, reactive, or impossible to navigate?

Perhaps you’re putting off the conversations you most need to have, with your partner, family, or in business.

Somehow the same arguments resurface, the same walls go up, and the same stresses quickly escalate.

You feel frustrated because the family, personal and the professional boundaries have become impossible to separate.

The longer this continues, the harder it is to imagine things being any different.

If you’re ready to change that, you’ve come to the right place.

Why Work with me?

Our most meaningful relationships bring us our greatest happiness, sense of purpose, and our greatest challenges.

My approach is research-backed and grounded in practical, real-world skills that create positive change, even after long periods of stress, distance, or resentment.

You’ll gain new perspectives, compassionate strategies, and reliable tools to navigate difficulty and build relationships that feel more secure, caring, and fulfilling.

And if you’re navigating the place where family, relationships and business collide, I help business families resolve conflict, manage generational change, restore trust, and thrive together.

If you’re ready to lead meaningful change in your relationships, book an appointment below.

We approached Elizabeth for advice on navigating complex historical and intergenerational family and business dynamics. She consulted with all family members confidentially, to assess and provide guidance that empowered individuals to lead relationship repairs and helped our family group refocus our attention to our shared vision for our business future. She has since provided valuable coaching to support intergenerational change in business culture and leadership.

Fantastic – really think it will help me to reflect on how my own behaviour influences conflict.
Eye opening content – a checklist with a high value method: reduce the emotional intensity, recognise problem, slow down, do less.

This workshop has brought tangible changes to our leadership of conflict management. At our senior meetings, our leadership team continue to discuss and share how they are using these conflict skills in practice, both at work and at home. Our staff have really started to put the skills into action, which is so great to see.

I think the proactive approach is really positive and it’s great space that opens people up to be vulnerable and builds a deeper level of engagement.

This program can have a huge impact. Great tools to reflect on and enhance emotional intelligence, whether this is already a skill, and easy to embrace for those who need to work more on their understanding, to reflect and learn.

Very happy I brought my staff along today. Very valuable, learning to manage yourself in both professional and personal relationships in a more empowering way

I did not expect it to be so interactive, which helped enormously to show the examples and behaviours in action.

Enjoyable to think about different aspects of our jobs, in a more empowering way.

Very important. The skills and knowledge are relevant to all industries.

You demonstrated the skills needed to step up with confidence. These were immediately applicable, I found myself using these valuable insights in the next few days.

I love her energy, her humour, she is a very entertaining speaker. I love that she pulls her story into the presentation and connects really from the heart with people.

Love my problems a bit more, this idea that the problem I’ve got is a gift and I need to look at it from a different perspective. That lateral approach to problem solving and the nature of the challenges we face, is a point of difference that Elizabeth brings on the discussion of resilience.

The little card that Elizabeth gave out during the talk, I’m going to put it up on my computer and look at it every day as a way of thinking about things differently.

As our small community organisation began to grow and evolve, recurring issues began to arise internally, and I struggled to identify the cause. Elizabeth was able to talk to each of our staff and board members, one on one, and ask the right questions to reveal the underlying cause. She then provided a detailed report that came with practical steps to help us address growth and improve communication. I found Elizabeth to be empathetic and practical, and the staff felt comfortable opening up to her.
