Close relationships bring many rewards but they can also be challenging. Learning how to resolve conflicts and get through difficult times together, or make difficult decisions, is a key part of couples counselling.
Our couples therapists won’t push you or your partner towards staying together or separating. They will support you to make those decisions yourselves.
Many different issues can be brought to relationship therapy, including:
Our relationship therapists will help you better understand the dynamics between you and your partner and recognise how these dynamics play out in your communication and behaviour with each other.
We work with straight, gay and bi couples, in long- and short-term relationships, whether monogamous or polyamorous.
If sexual issues are a major factor in your relationship, you may prefer to see one of our couples counsellors who is also qualified in psychosexual therapy.
Relationships are complicated and problems in relationships are often deeply rooted. Many couples rarely talk about their relationship. It can be hard to find the time or the right opportunity. Weekly couples therapy is a great way to prioritise your relationship and focus on the issues at hand.
You can end your therapy at any time just by letting your therapist know.

As with personal therapy for individuals, your first appointment is an opportunity for you and your partner to discuss the problems within your relationship and talk through what you want to get from therapy. Your couples counsellor will also address any questions or concerns you may have about couples counselling.
Our therapists remain neutral — we don’t take sides. We help by identifying and assessing behavioural patterns in a relationship and encouraging effective communication.
Issues within relationships are often personal, private and hard to talk about. Our couples therapists do not judge personal choices or sexual experiences.
We’ve prepared a Guide to Couples Therapy that you may find helpful.
The easiest way to book your first couples therapy appointment is by using our online booking system here. Booking an appointment is easy and takes about 5 minutes.
Some of our couples counsellors are also qualified in psychosexual therapy. Psychosexual therapists can help with specific sexual issues such as loss of desire, painful sex or erectile problems. Please let us know if you would like to see one of our psychosexual therapists.
If you are having relationship problems and would like to explore how relationship therapy might help, phone 0333 207 9330 or get in touch to make a first appointment. We are here to help.
We facilitate hundreds of couples therapy sessions every year.
