I'm Simona Graham Located in Newcastle and Maitland

Rediscover Connection, Rekindle Growth, Find Joy in Your Relationship

As a counsellor specializing in relationships and sexual health I partner with you to address what truly matters, helping you overcome worries, anxieties, and negative thoughts that may be holding you back. Connection has never felt more precious or critical—we seek more from our relationships than ever before, whether with partners, friends, family, or children. At no time in history has it been more clear that intimacy is life’s grail. As therapist, I can fill in those gaps by introducing a world of relational help that can be taught and mastered once we recognize the need for them. I provide our clients with these tools to foster deeper emotional bonds, improve communication, and cultivate a satisfying, joyful physical connection. Together, we create new perspectives and approaches, empowering you to embrace a fresh, fulfilling direction for your life.

Teenagers Support

One of the most important stages of human development is adolescence. Today’s teenagers are growing up in a world that is very different to the one I grew up in. The gap between childhood and adult choices appears to be shrinking. It can feel like teenagers are exposed to more risks and bigger decisions earlier in life.

It is overwhelming at times!

Simona Graham about

Quizzed

I will find a diverse mixture of quizzes written to enlighten the complexities of my well-being and relationships. I try these assessments which are meant to make me curious, bring up self-understanding, and deepen my understanding of my relationships.

Sex Therapy

"I long for the intimacy and connection we had when we first met"— offering compassionate support for couples and individuals who want to deepen their emotional and physical bonds. "If sex is so natural, why does it become so hard to get ourselves to do it after the honeymoon phase?" We’ll explore the layers of both emotional and physical intimacy, helping you rediscover the spark you had at the beginning.

Business Partners

When conflicts arise, it’s easy to get stuck in who's right and who’s wrong. My approach goes beyond that, focusing instead on reconnecting with what really matters—your business goals. Through a collaborative and open process, we’ll work to restore trust, create clear agreements, and build a strong foundation for lasting growth.

Simona's Challenge

Creating fulfilling relationships—whether personal or professional—through honesty, empathy, and respect, and with these skills Simona will challenge the idea that passion and joy in a relationship fade in time. Simona values equallness, transparency, respect, and the courage to face conflicts as opportunities for growth. It’s about building adaptive, and joyfully supportive connections, enabling her clients to grow as a team not only as individuals.

In her professional approach, emphasizes the importance of facing issues with acceptance and cultivating a supportive space for curiosity. Her work is about helping clients rediscover that initial spark, while also equipping them with the skills and insights to sustain that connection long-term. Relationships are some of the most meaningful parts of our lives. Yet, we often focus on “maintaining” them rather than truly experiencing them. Stories end with love and commitment, but in real life, the journey continues—even when passion fades. So, what can we do?

Her challenge is one of helping people to a place of togetherness and looking behind the right or wrong.

About me

I have always been fascinated by human nature and the way mother nature teaches us about life’s intricate and complex routes. My first ‘couples’ were my parents, and through them, I began to understand the profound impact relationships have on our lives. Today, I am dedicated to helping individuals, young adults, and couples navigate life’s challenges through one-on-one therapy sessions. I believe that each of us is inherently equal, creative, and complete—and that we all encounter difficult times, especially the tremendous suffering we can experience in relationships. This is why I am deeply committed to finding ways to ease this suffering, so we can all experience more joy, passion, and love in our lives.

Once you free your mind to see what truly nourishes you, rather than feeling limited by the need to ‘be perfect’ or ‘live the right way,’ you can begin to use conscious, loving techniques to design a relationship you and your partner can fully and naturally commit to.

If you’re facing challenges in your relationships or personal life, you don’t have to face them alone. I provide a safe, supportive space where we can work together to strengthen your connections and help you move forward.
