About Michael Zoupa
Hi, I'm Michael.
I'm a Melbourne-based relationship therapist. I help couples, and the people in them, stop circling the same fights and feel close again.
What matters to me
I'm passionate about helping people build a life that feels fulfilling and steady. I blend evidence-based techniques and cognitive skills with somatic practices like Qigong, so you can work through what's in the way and reconnect with your own strength.
My focus is self-compassion, clarity and resilience. Together we work on finding calm when life feels chaotic, getting your spark back at work, and building closer, more meaningful relationships.
Above all, I want you to feel heard, valued and back in charge of your life.
How I work
Attachment first
I help you see the pattern underneath the fight, not just the fight.
Direct and practical
I'll tell you what I see, and give you things to try between sessions.
Body and mind
Qigong and acupressure/EFT help you calm down enough to actually talk.
No sides
In couples work, the relationship is the client. Both of you get heard.
