Turn conflict into connection
The world needs more love
Let’s start with you
We teach you the essential relationship skills to experience more love, belonging and connection – for a happier, healthier life
Think Better Counselling was founded over a decade ago in Melbourne by Amy Islip, to help people overcome the three key relationship issues that prevent deeper love and connection:
Problem 1.
Our ability to create healthy relationships depends on how well we love ourselves – and many of us need help to learn self-love, self-acceptance and healthy boundaries.
Problem 2.
We long for better relationships but often get caught in unhealthy communication and conflict patterns we can’t shift on our own.
Problem 3.
Our upbringing and education rarely provides the emotional intelligence, conflict, and communication skills needed to build happy, healthy relationships.
At Think Better Counselling we believe every challenge holds the potential for growth. Through our in-person and online relationship counselling and courses, you’ll learn to understand yourself and each other on a deeper level – so you can create the kind of love and connection that lasts.

Success stories
Success stories
I feel worthy
“The experience has been empowering and life changing for me. Today I am more comfortable with who I am, I feel worthy, valued and loved by those most dear to me, and most importantly myself. I have been able to successfully cultivate functional relationships, that are supportive of me, enabling me to step out of the shadows (of childhood trauma) and take my true place in the world. – Dawn
Life changing
“Working with Amy was life changing. When I began working with her I was entering a new relationship, and with her help I was able to navigate situations in a much healthier and happier way. We were able to work through the issues and she provided me with communication tools and a different perspective. Her style with me was to never tell me what to do, but to give me the space to get honest with myself, allowing me to grow.” – Rebecca
Amazing support
“Amy has been an amazing support getting my 30-year-old marriage back on track by guiding my husband and I to find each other again. Her kindness has given me the strength to learn how to be kinder to myself and how I react to others. My family life is so much more fun and there is more calmness and love at home. Thank you Amy, for your real approach and support” – Lisa
